I know a movie is good when it challenges me to want to become a better man.
Gareth Edwards and his team who made Rogue One deserve some serious accolades. I have been a Star Wars fan my whole life. This movie delivers. I don't think there is anything in this film that I can say I didn't like.

This movie is a lesson in what it takes to win the war against evil. And that is sacrifice. Plugged In mentions that "Rouge One, perhaps more than any other Star Wars movie to date, is a war movie." Rogue One shows us what it must have been like to be a rank and file Rebel against the evil galactic Empire. Maybe we can't all be Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. But anyone who thinks he or she is not a person of any significance just needs to watch this movie and see that all they have to do is what Chirrut Imwe does. He may not be a Jedi but he is in touch with the Force. His hard work and simple faith makes him a man of courage who gets things done. I change Chirrut's mantra to, "I am with Christ and Christ is with me."
Bodhi, the defecting Imperial pilot shows us that if we make the hard choices we can rebel against an evil status quo. But make no mistake. When we make the hard choices to enter the war against evil it will cost us. Like her father before her, Jyn Erso played by Felicity Jones, chooses to get involved and it costs her and her family everything.
This movie is is a lesson in faith and family and friendship. It is a lesson in overcoming incredible odds and how "one man with a sharp stick can take the day." If indeed the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil to win is for good men to do nothing then Rogue One exemplifies this truth. When someone in the Rebellion leadership fearfully says, "What chance do we have?" Jyn responds with "What choice do we have?" for we all have to take a stand against evil when it raises its prideful banners of wrong.
The director used fresh ideas like when he gave us some amazing GoPro views from X Wings in battle. The acting by the whole cast is superb. K2-SO is the star of the movie. Michael Giacchino does a brilliant job of the musical score, paying tribute to John Williams, the quintessential film composer, while composing excellent new themes and being an amazing emotional engineer with his placement of meaningful music at just the right time. John Williams, I am sure, is proud.
There are plenty of Easter Eggs for SW fans to find and let me just say that if the CGI is this good now, in ten years they will be able to make a Star Wars movie with the original cast. Amazing, Industrial Light and Magic is.
Two Thumbs Way Up! Favorite movie of the year.
