This was just excellent all around!! I was literally on the edge of my seat, more and more as the film progressed, right up through the end. I also was in complete awe of how WELL this tied into (and definitely had the FEEL of) the first "Star Wars" trilogy (Eps. IV-VI)! It sure did this long-time "Star Wars" fan's heart good to see maybe the BEST "Star Wars" movie since "The Empire Strikes Back" - and it was about time!
How anyone can say this movie isn't part of the "Star Wars" canon is beyond me - but in the long run, I don't care because *I* will always consider "Rogue One" an INTEGRAL, canonical "Star Wars" story. Jyn was probably the best female protagonist I've seen in an action film since Princess Leia and Ellen Ripley (of the "Alien" series). Also loved seeing a certain Sith Lord kick some SERIOUS butt, even though he's the "bad guy" - didn't matter to me - it was awesome!
Lucasfilm & Co., thanks for FINALLY giving us the prequel we've been wanting so badly to see for a VERY long time!!
