Not so much a Story as Episode 3.5

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2016)

Now I know this meant as a star wars story and not one of the episodes. But the feeling I got after watching this is it really fits in so well with the SW Universe as we know it.
I was hopeful upon entry that this would be good. But as it was not an episode my expectations were lowered. They needn't have been. This was a an epic release within the franchise and I want to go and see it again.
As many reviews have stated not all the characters were fully rounded, but then how are you going to be able to do that without making it a 4 hour film. I thought the main characters were all excellent. Jyn Erso was the lead and shows that Disney at least has redressed the Gender balance with both it's star wars releases having female leads.
I don't want to give too much away as I would suggest everyone goes and sees this film. What I will say is the use of GGI is amazing and for all star wars fans to look out for the X-Wing pilots. You may recognise a few ;)
We all know that rebels got the plans, but we did not know how they did it. This film answers a lot of questions and at the same time is an excellent film to boot. Enjoy.
