Much Better Than Force Awakens

Rating: 9/10 (7 January 2017)

Finally we get to see Star Wars movies are more than just finding the weak spot of a gigantic weapon, opening fire and destroying it. Rogue one had a wonderful plot which connected the construction (and the weaknesses) of the Death Star to the beginning of A New Hope. The formation of the Rebellion, how and why the Empire had its weakness about the weapon, how the plans of that were acquired were all executed in a delightful way. The overall setting was constructed with respect to the original movies. Storm troopers, imperial structures and star ships, rebel alliance ships, and (obviously) the main characters were aligned to the original story line. Not much deviation from what Lucas had in mind, yet such diversity in planets, species, robots, soldiers and many more. Hopefully the next movies will be like this one, more than presenting unknown characters and more gigantic star killers!
