The Force Re-Awakens
My short, spoiler-free verdict on Rogue One : thumbs up ! I give it a solid 7/10. Not epic, but not mediocre either. Very solid and well worth watching. I'm pretty sure there are bits in the trailer that aren't in the film though, which is odd. Felt like it was mostly telling its own independent story, much gritter than the main Star Wars tale, but occasionally flirted quite heavily with the main fairy tale arc.
And it did so quite sensibly - you can easily believe that the Rogue One characters are living their (somewhat) smaller, more real lives, while Luke and Han et al. are doing their grander, far more storytale thing somewhere else but definitely in the same universe. The Rogue character story feels gritty and real whereas the other elements retain their pantomime aspect somehow without causing conflict - a difficult act indeed.
Will write longer review later, but it will mostly be me saying, "yes, that was quite good, wasn't it ?"
