I’m watching Rogue One for the billionth time. I think it might arguably be the best of all of the Star Wars films. My rankings, however, are usually different from the mainstream’s.
For example, the people who think that Empire Strikes Back is a better movie than New Hope are play-by-the-numbers idiots who take their cues from movie critics and their parents. There are things to consider when judging these films and its necessary to enumerate them if you are going to do it justice.
There’s the acting. There’s also the heart, soulfulness. There’s novelty. There’s direction, cinematography, soundtrack. It’s a miracle that after all of the horrible things that have occurred in the Star Wars universe that Rogue One could manage to put together all of these things, especially the heart and soul. The *spirit* of Star Wars is more present in this film than in any other film aside from New Hope.
Thank you, Gareth Edwards!!!!!!
