I have to admit: I wasn't a huge fan of the Rogue One film -- so I was doubly impressed by Alexander Freed's take on it.  His addition of the characters' internal thoughts really made me empathize more with them.  It's still a bleak story, but there's more warmth here.  I got quite misty eyed in places.
