Star Wars on a new level.

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 2016)

I went to the theaters yesterday and i was stunned by this movie, my expectations were low and i even didn't expect this to be a prequel. I was constantly on the lookout for characters from TFA but as the movie went on i understood it was a prequel and got dragged in the dramatic story-line, i couldn't help it. I started cracking my knuckles hoping the good guys would win but it always felt like the odds were against them.
They did a great job making you care for a large amount of characters and every time someone dies, either a main character or just some random rebel i actually felt sad for them. It made me feel for every single rebel, even those i didn't even know their name. They matter here. Also the storm troopers have a very militaristic feel, they actually behave like forces from an oppressive empire, forces that should be feared instead of just cannon fodder for the heroes. The heroes of the story really have to watch out for them.
And then of course you have the classic space battles, believe me, they are awesome. When the large battle starts i just got goosebumps, the leader of the rebels acts like a real admiral, he is very tactical and actually feels like he is in his place being the admiral. He also has an awesome warship, actually all the warships look bad-ass, like large machines of destruction. If you haven't seen it, go see it. It's really that good!
