Best Star Wars Ever

Rating: 9/10 (20 December 2016)

I've always been a huge fan of Episode 6 and 3, thinking we can't do better than those (definitly not with Episode 7...) I now changed my mind. One thing I always liked about star wars, beside the whole Force / Lighsaber / Jedi mythology, was the political aspect of the franchise. While some might argue it's a simple Black and White vision, Rogue One offers the grey area we needed. Obviously, there are still good guys and bad guys, and you can't be wrong with who is who. At least, the good guys aren't that good, and the bad guys don't get all crazy breaking stuff ... (Emo Kylo).
Another thing I loved about it is the amount of surprises the film contains, while actually telling a story everyone knows. Same thing can't be said with Episode 3, very little was unexpected (maybe the young Jedi massacre... but apart from that..)
Finally, the fighting scene themselves, the plot, the characters, everything is simply really good. Not at a single point was I thinking 'meh... this is weird' like we all did when Kylo gets his helmet off.
Hats off for this first of a kind Star Wars movie, I just hope Episode 8 will get inspired by that..
