Rogue One is a film made for established Star Wars fans, not for those that the filmmakers want to convert to the cause. By shedding much of the legacy that has built up over seven episodes, it focuses purely on telling a self-contained story and delivering thrilling set-pieces, rather than being a major part of an ongoing generation-spanning narrative . There’s no Obi-Wan, Yoda, Luke, or Han--but it has stars and wars and sometimes that’s all you need.
| The Good | The Bad |
|---|---|
Great mix of CG and practical effects
| The film moves too quickly at times |
| Darth Vader is back with a vengeance | Some of the characters are underwritten |
| Felicity Jones gives us another resourceful, charismatic hero | Dodgy digital effects used to render a couple of familiar human characters |
| The climactic battle scenes are truly spectacular | |
| Adds extra depth to the events of Episode IV |
