Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2017)

This 2hrs 13min |of Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi I gave it 10/10 as DirectorGareth Edwards who directed the 2014 Godzilla and the brilliant low budget monsters and his star wars is classic movie in the fold of the old and jj Abraham's one the force awakens . so lets blast off on this fun and original film The Rebel the weight of myth, Rogue One is a machine of a film that moves toward its inevitable endpoint with unrelenting determination. Although there are a few familiar faces, Edwards naturally drops plenty of references to the original trilogy – a certain pair of classically mismatched droids make a cameo appearance – . Rogue One isn't a new type of cinema experience, or unique. It's also a prequel, so the story has somewhere specific it has to end up.
With that in mind, Gareth Edward's movie is pretty close to an instant classic, in my opinion. It doesn't rush along, but give us ample time to get some sense of characters and locations. It doesn't dwell on exposition, other through character, and actual plot.
her mother, hoping that she'll be able to provide an entree to the militant radical Saw Gerrera (Forrest Whitaker), the recipient of a covert message from Galen borne by a renegade cargo pilot named Bodhi Rook (Riz Ahmed), you feel for the pilot because he wants a to really help The purpose of Rogue One's opening movement is to assemble a ragtag band of fighters, one that also includes the blind Force worship per Chirrut Îmwe (Donnie Yen) and the grizzled gunner Baze Malbus (Jiang Wen), who will take up the charge of stealing the Death Star plans when the Rebel Alliance gets cold feet. Yen and Jiang play their characters with a gruff tenderness that suggests their relationship may be more than platonic, and Alan Tudyk lends his voice and his movements to K-2SO, a wisecracking former Imperial droid with an unnerving penchant for calculating the precise likelihood of his comrades' deaths. That this literally motley crew's heroism is never so much spoken in the movies that follow it chronologically only makes their heroism more poignant: they are history's forgotten soldiers, laying their lives on the line while others carry the baton across the finish line. When the X-wing pilots show up with their bushy '70s handlebar mustaches, it brings the ends of the franchise's circle together, but it also reminds us how much has changed between then and now.
More important than Rogue One's contribution to Star Wars' plot is the way it inhabits its universe. JJ Abrams had the responsibility of extrapolating from the original trilogy, and George Lucas's prequels wound back the clock, but Edwards' movie is happening virtually on top of the first movie, which leaves him with a unique and daunting task: to make a movie with virtually the same elements as the original Star Wars that still feels like it was made in 2016 and not 1977. The film does this largely by engaging a multiracial cast from different parts of the globe, but also by a embracing the range of perspectives that come with it. When Jyn announces she's planning to end her brief tenure in the rebellion because it makes no difference to her who rules the galaxy, the one about Jedi Knights and galactic emperors with quasi-mystical powers, the next installment of which won't be along until this time next year. But a Star Wars story nonetheless, about people who don't have quasi-mystical powers and have never done the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs, although they're reasonably good with a blaster in a tight spot. It's an epic about extras, an opera about spear carriers This is the story about how the rebel alliance acquired the plans for the death star, and it manages to give the plot and characters in A New Hope more meaning, and gravitas.
References and Easter eggs from the original trilogy sprinkled throughout will surely encourage repeat viewings from fans and while not being the biggest Star Wars fan in the world, I have found myself a lot more interested in going back for another full viewing of series based solely on how much I enjoyed this standalone outing. It's been a while since we've had a series of films to look at as an annual Christmas tradition and having grown up watching Lord of the Rings in the cinemas year after year, it's something I've missed. After taking two big risks and pulling it off two years in a row, I have no doubt that the cast and crew and Disney and Lucasarts have it in them to provide that new seasonal tradition ever year, the movie is squarely focused on the new characters we've come to know, and the battle we've come to live. We know they succeed in their objective to get the Death Star's blueprints to the rebel comrades, but we've never known the cost of that success. Once we do, that knowledge holds the tantalizing prospect of making even Star Wars feel like something new again.
