Some of the true magic of STAR WARS is back!

Rating: 8/10 (29 March 2017)

I was a huge Star Wars fan. I say "was" cause I grew up with the original trilogy and the true magic that surrounded it. That same magic went out through the window when George Lucas decided to "complete" his saga with three additional films, The Phantom Menace, Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith. I was very delighted to hear about this, but boy, was I in for a surprise when I saw The Phantom Menace. What was a saga for adults and children had now become a saga for children... under 10. I was really sad about the direction GL took with Star Wars and I felt how Star Wars no longer meant anything to me. I actually hate those movies. I started to dislike Star Wars from head to toe and I never watch any of the original movies anymore mainly because of GLs horrible CGI add ons. I don't know how GL manage to destroy his own masterpiece. I thought of him as a genius, but now I think it was more likely the staff around him that created the magic and GL was just lucky to have such a great film crew. Star Wars was a big part of my childhood fantasies and dreams, but they were now gone. Forever I thought. Until now, when Rogue One was released. I didn't dislike The Force Awakens but it still felt like a movie for kids. But Rogue One is not only a movie for kids. Its back were it belongs, and I actually felt the nostalgia return a bit. IT was a great movie and I salute the director, cause he manage to bring back some of the true magic!
If I could erase I,II,II and the cartoon franchise that came with them, from movie history, I would in a heart beat. But I cant. I will never get back the entire true magic that once surrounded Star Wars, but Rogue One sure made me feel good again!
...and Felicity Jones is great!
And I can say I will watch Rogue One many times!
