"Well, there is now!"
Rogue One is a fantastic addition to the Star Wars saga. Effectively Episode 3.5, this is almost the grown-up Star Wars film that adults crave, pitching itself as a full-on war/heist movie with a very dry streak of humour (mostly provided by the sardonic robot K-2SO). The terrific set of new characters is delivered by a uniformly strong cast, the movie is very well-written, Giacchino's score is consistently excellent and the VFX are breathtakingly beautiful. The film balances Star Wars tropes and the story's inevitable destination with creating interesting new situations and especially new variations on established visuals (such as the Death Star and a Star Destroyer). The action/battle sequences are superbly directed and edited, and the extended third act (the land/space final assault) is simply brilliant. Rogue One is very impressive and will hold up to further viewings easily.
