The Best Star Wars Film since Empire Strikes Back

Rating: 10/10 (2 May 2017)

Rogue One is the best Star Wars film since The Empire Strikes Back, and the first film made since 1983 that can truly rival the original trilogy,
It's better than the Prequel Trilogy (not that high of a bar other than Revenge of the Sith).
It's better than the Force Awakens and it's even better than Return of the Jedi. It might even rival or be better than the original Star Wars.
It's the first Star Wars film aimed at adults (although smart kids will enjoy it as well). The characters are the most realistic we've seen in a Star Wars film, but the characterizations are subtle and you have to actually pay attention to the film to truly appreciate it (which is sometimes a problem for modern audiences).
The effects are pretty easily the best we've seen yet and the space battle is the first space battle to rival the one in Return of the Jedi (amazing considering that film was made in 1983).
The last act of the movie is incredible, arguably the strongest act of any Star Wars film and the final sequence is simply amazing.
If you are a Star Wars fan and haven't seen Rogue One stop what you are doing and watch it now.
