Star Wars Episode 3.9!

Rating: Null/10 (1 January 2017)

This is the perfect prequel to A New Hope. This movie deftly takes you right up to the beginning of the original movie. You can literally pop A New Hope into the DVD right after you watch Rogue One and it would be almost seamless. Beyond that fine filmmaking chronology, I loved the amount of care the filmmakers put into making an authentic Star Wars film, right up to recreating some characters with excellent CGI and using archival footage from the original Star Wars. Awesome! The filmmakers didn't "Force" anything in this movie. Everything was well paced and character development was solid. I loved the new robot that they introduced, and the Easter eggs planted throughout.
