The best Star Wars Movie Yet!

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2017)

Rogue One proved that a Star Wars movie doesn't need a crawl, a lightsaber fight, or a Skywalker in a major role to be truly amazing. And it provided the best example of a true War in the Stars, with realistic action, plenty of death, close calls, drama, and risks. The force was strong with this one, as were the themes of trust, unity, hope, courage, and sacrifice. Jyn and Chirrut were the standout characters, each delivering many of the best moments, and best quotes, in all of Star Wars. To be clear, every character was good, but in these two the themes and ideas at the core of Rogue One resonated. Additionally, it perfectly set up A New Hope down to the last minute, and paid fan service by including many cameos from the original trilogy and references to the TV shows. This movie could not have been better. It was a beautiful, moving, and epic film and the best Star Wars has ever produced. Rogue One is truly one with the force, and the force is with it. It took the next chance, and the next, and it won.
