A young woman is recruited to steal the technical plans for a secret weapon, because of her father's involvement.

Different from a typical Star Wars movie, but so well written, especially in light of more recent outings, and the acting was also great. I don't think there was a moment that I didn't like, and battle to receive the transmission was a lot of fun and really exciting. The cinematography also impressed me. The placement of Star Destroyers in many of the scenes, especially over Jedha and relative to the Death Star, were very striking.

Truly enjoyable, and a true Star Wars movie. I never thought it was necessary to see how the plans were stolen, but the story has been told many times in comics, short stories and books, so it seems that others were interested. This movie is a great way to showcase that story. It's a tragic story, and I didn't think it would be so tragic, with no survivors. I thought the dialog was fun and funny, especially with the blind Force-sensitive, and the action was great.

Well made, well paced, and well acted. It doesn't get much better than this for a Star Wars movie. There was a lot of real humor, which came out naturally, both in dialog and action. The plot made sense and unrolled naturally. I don't think it was necessary for a fault to be intentionally introduced in the Death Star, but some people wonder how such a small port could cause a huge chain reaction, so why not. I really liked the use of Carrie Fisher's face, and Tarkin's. And it's great to see Darth Vader in lightsaber action -this Vader skill has never been seen before!
