The Best Star Wars Film To Date?

Rating: 9/10 (1 October 2017)

I went into the movie theater not expecting much to be honest. After the disappointment that was episode 7, I was honestly expecting Disney to ruin this one too.
I could not have been more wrong.
This film was pretty gritty for a Star Wars flick (Which is a good thing).
There were a few things wrong with it, but no glaring plot holes such as episode 7 and none of this the good guys win yet again feeling.
Overall I was pleasantly surprised and I hope the Star Wars films following this one are as good.
How does it compare to The Empire Strikes Back? Honestly... I think Rogue One is better...
