I was pleasantly surprised by the latest Star Wars installment--it was well thought-out and perfectly ties into Episode IV: A New Hope. Of course, my favorite character was a robot and my favorite parts were those that showed the sweeping landscapes. It's fun, true escape, and won't let down the fans. I didn't have any expectations and left the theater quite pleased. I have to say, though, that the relationships between the characters--especially Jyn and Cassian--were fairly flat. But that's OK since the emphasis in these stories (at least in my opinion) is on larger, bigger meanings: cause, loyalty, courage, justice, etc.
