This makes Star Wars a better film.

Rating: 9/10 (29 May 2017)

This film is not what I expected, I expected a pop corn film with comic book violence and a Saturday Matinée ending. Because Star Wars is a comic book fantasy, it took me a long time to take this film seriously. by the time I did, the film was over. Treat this film with respect. It's the third best film in the series and there is not a close fourth. Make no mistake, this film puts the "War" back into Star Wars.
I have a feeling that if a group of 16 year old kids unfamiliar with Star Wars, watch this film and then Star Wars, the majority will like this film better. It gives meaning to the "Star Wars" throw away line that the plans were not easy to obtain.
This movie is about those plans and the effort it took to steal them.
There are two major flaws with "Star Wars". Storm troupers couldn't shoot and how could such a giant flaw could exist in the Death Star. This film addresses the later and does so very well.
Because it does it so well, this movie makes "Star Wars" a better film. Virtually every other Star Wars movie after "Empire" detracts from the legacy, this does not, and that's why I like this film so much.
One issue, the computer generated characters are underwhelming. I don't blame the directly, he was likely promised something that the special effects wizards couldn't deliver.
