Rating: 9/10 (21 December 2016)

Star Wars Rogue One truly kept to the Star Wars legacy. The movie is a great movie, and will not upset canon viewers. It was not like Star Wars the Force Awakens. While the movie was a fun movie, it did not feel like Star Wars. Star Wars Rogue One however stays true to the Star Wars heart.
Lets Start off by addressing the story of Star Wars Rogue One: (SPOILERS AHEAD BE WARNED). It starts off with our main character, Jyn Erso. Her father is being taken away by the Imperials. If you have not seen the movie yet I am not going into detail, so please go see the movie yourself for what truly happened. This leads to the events of the movie where Jyn Erso, and the rebels go to Scariff and get the Death Star plans. Then the true beauty of the movie happens. (SPOILERS) The Rebels finally get the plans up. The door gets jammed, and the rebels in the ship cannot get the plans over. Then Darth Vader himself ignites his red blade. This lights up the hole room, as Darth Vader deflects blaster bolts with ease. The plans finally make it over to the Tantive IV. Thus starting the original Star Wars film, A New Hope.
How it relates to the viewers. For this movie you do not have to be a hardcore Star Wars fan. While it would make much more sense if you are a Star Wars fan it is still a great movie for you. For the fans however this movie sticks to the canon, and delivers a true and classic Star Wars film for the history books. If you are a Star Wars fan then what happens at the end of this movie must give you chills. (SPOILERS) Darth Vader ignites his red blade, and rips through the rebels. This is truly the moment you were waiting for. The plans are handed over, and a rebel asks what is this to the Princess. Leia simply responds, "Hope". Even for the non Star Wars people watching the movie it must have given them chills. For the Star Wars fans you now know how Star Wars A New Hope truly began. As you remember what happens with these plans you get chills. If you are reading this, and have not seen the movie you have truly ruined the movie for yourself.
In conclusion, the cast of the movie are great, the story is great. Simply everything about the movie is great besides a few scenes that could have gone better. Oh, and did I mention the amazing CGI that captured Tarkin. This actor died in 1994, but with the help of CGI Tarkin in the film looks like the Tarkin from Star Wars A New Hope. If you haven't seen the movie I beg of you see the movie, and compare Tarkin with his original counter part in the 1977 film, Star Wars A New Hope. This movie sticks to the canon, truly feels like Star Wars, and has one of the best endings to a Star Wars movie I have ever seen. I think you will agree as well.
