    Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

    ★★★★

    This is my favourite Star Wars movie ever.

    Sure, lightsaber battles are cool, but what I TRULY love about Rogue One is it's connection to Andor. Yes yes, I'm biased.. After all, Andor is in my top 3 favourite shows of all time.

    ★★★★

    1. I've fallen in love with 4 things because of this movie -- the Irish countryside, the Irish accent, Irish culture, and most importantly, DONKEYS.

    2. The last time I saw a Brendan Gleeson movie was from Paddington, so seeing him go from interacting with a talking bear to cutting off all 5 of his fingers was...interesting to say the least.
