Review of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) by Gameanalyzer — 16 Dec 2016

Rogue One manages to stay as a faithful chapter from the Star Wars franchise on its own league serving as a rightful prequel to the fourth episode. The creators right from the start had promised to bring something new to the table and they did deliver.

The casting was perfect. The CGI has been remarkable with lots of surprise elements in offer for long time fans of the franchise from the 70s. Although the film delivers in the long run with all Stars Wars action elements ranging from stormtroopers to the AT act walkers against the rebellion units , there are minor issues with general pacing as the story progresses around with its Death Star plot at instances with poorly timed execution of the characters related to it, bogging it down for viewers.

The Force Awakens had an USP with great character execution but on the other hand the action sequences in Rogue One struck the right chord several notches above TFA for the prequel story. It deserves a solid 9.
