Review of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) by Sinead K — 04 Jan 2018

After seeing the awful The Last Jedi, I decided to rewatch what is my favourite of the new Star Wars movies.

I loved it in the cinema and after two more watches I still love it. The plot and characters are very good, if not quite brilliant, and I like the way that we are given a darker side to the Star Wars universe where people do have to make hard choices to win a war.

The battle scenes are brilliant and the last half an hour of this movie is outstanding and the cameos from Darth Vadar are brilliant, especially the last appearance. Even though you know the rebels escape with the plans, that scene still puts you on the edge of your seat.

Comes only behind the Empire Strikes back and Return of the Jedi for me.
