Overwhelming movie

Rating: 10/10 (3 September 2017)

Saw this movie tonight on German sky pay TV, expected an fx focused / headed prequel to the 1977 movie. The old movies where focused on the story, fx was a helper, not the focus, that changed in episode 1, clone wars and the sith movies, my opinion, they just closed the story line. Rogue One is the absolute revival of the old movies and a perfect prequel to the original 1977 movie. The story is the main focus and extremely intensive like the first movie and empire strikes back which are my all time favorites, saw both at that time more than once in a Buenos Aires cinema, and I'm adicted to science fiction since then. Fx just helped the story look better. This is why I also love Star Wars Rebels hoped this series would keep longer, 4th season is last and shorter than awaited. Back to Rogue One, I am really impressed, this one makes it to my all time favorites. I would have watched this one in a 3D cinema multiple times having my tonight's experience.
This one is best STAR WARS original tradition movie and this really impresses me, thought such thing would never come back on business regards, money makes the world go round, it seems Disney found a way to combine both, 1 billion gross box office 'til today (boxofficemojo.com) let me hope this tradition will become popular.
Best, not less, not more
Best regards
