Not perfect, but nails Star Wars better than any of the recent episodes

Rating: 9/10 (25 December 2019)

Especially after watching Episode 9 Rogue One may not be the most entertaining of the new Star Wars movies, but it is by far the most coherent, since it has a perfect balance between realism, fantasy, humor, action and character development. I wished episode 7 to 9 were that good.
Rogue One is a complete Story with good characters and an interesting story idea. The overall look and feel i enjoy the most and it overshadows a bit a lack of overall tension - in a positive way.
It may is an advantage that Rogue One did not need to tie into the Skywalker Saga, just being a side story and have an independent story to tell with new characters.
Although i generally did not like the type of ending they choose, it's the perfect and best choice possible and it's also different from any other Star Wars movie.
