Critics' Reviews
"Rogue One brings sci-fi saga into new glorious orbit. (...) It stands alone as the best "Star Wars" entry since 1980's "The Empire Strikes Back." Yes, it's that good."
Ethan Sacks: New York Daily News
"A gritty war movie (...) Younger audiences will be bored, confused, or both. But for the original generation of “Star Wars” fans who weren’t sure what to make of episodes one, two, and three, “Rogue One” is the prequel they’ve always wanted."
Peter Debruge: Variety
"With the smashing Jones giving us a female warrior to rank with the great ones and a cast that knows how to keep it real even in a sci-fi fantasy, 'Rogue One' proves itself a 'Star Wars' story worth telling. (...) 
Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"Despite a galaxy of potential and a number of killer moments, Gareth Edwards' 'Star Wars' spinoff feels painfully forced."
David Ehrlich: Indiewire
"The film’s execution is, at times, a little disjointed and clunky. But for many, 'Rogue One', will be the 'Star Wars' film they’ve always yearned for: a more adult, rough-edged and passionate picture."
Rodrigo Perez: The Playlist
"What fans will get here is loads of action, great effects, good comic relief, stunning locations (...) and some intriguing early glimpses of the Galactic Empire as it begins to flex its inter-galactic power."
Todd McCarthy: The Hollywood Reporter
"A swiftly paced, rough-and-ready entertainment that, in anticipating the canonical events of 'A New Hope', manages the tricky feat of seeming at once casually diverting and hugely consequential."
