Legacy.

Rating: 9/10 (29 December 2018)

Star Wars has been through one heck of an ride over the decades. It has gone from underground nerdom to global phenomenon. From merchandise cashgrab to labor of love and back to merchandise cashgrab, to social confusion.
The original trilogy will always stay treasured and loved. The prequel's upset the more diehard fans but opened Star Wars to the masses in ways no-one would have anticipated, and the prequels are suddenly loved even by the diehard fans that as previously stated had issues with them, because of the nosedive the new films did (episode 7 and 8.)
I wasn't alone in feeling a sense of death of a franchise we all loved.
Then Rogue One was announced.
Somber wait.
It released, and we went to see it.
It revived my love for Star Wars all over again. What an absolute gem of a movie, made with love and it shows.
A epic tale, set right before A New Hope.
If you haven't seen it, maybe because of fear that it would be yet another Star Wars movie that hammers the proverbial nail of sadness into the coffin? Don't fret, don't be afraid. The movie is amazing. Cast, acting, score, atmosphere, they nail it all, it feels "Star Wars" right to the bone.
