Rogue One is a great film. Not only is it full of action and tells a compelling story, but it also fits harmoniously with the pre-existing Star Wars media, even building up the significance of the original Star Wars film, ‘A New Hope’ by showing the huge sacrifices of the Rebellion to obtain the plans to the Death Star. The characters in interesting and authentic, and I was touched by the father-daughter connection that this film also showed as Jyn and her father Galen pair up from a distance to help in fighting against the evil Empire. The ending was powerful with engaging scenes of suspense and action and the film ends with a sad, but extremely meaningful impact through sacrifice.
