From
Esquire, a
review by
Matt Miller of
Rogue One:
Rogue One does everything it needs to do. It has all the little nods to the original that'll trigger your nostalgia, it fills the gaping Star Wars void in your soul (or at least in your year), and keeps the struggling small business known as Disney afloat until the next movie in the franchise premieres in 2017.
Because this is a stand-alone film, it's removed from much of the pressure that made the prequels and The Force Awakens so stressful to watch. It's kind of okay if Rogue One isn't perfect, because it's just A Star Wars Story; this ain't the main event, folks, so we can just sit back and have fun. You don't have to watch it with the fear that director Gareth Edwards fucked up a beloved Star Wars movie. It's a spin-off, so chill out and have fun!
Rico says he's seen a lot of flawed movies; he'll see this one.
