3. Rogue One

That's right: the one without any Jedi and a large ensemble of never-seen-before characters is, in fact, one of the best Star Wars projects of all time.

Yet another story to take place before the events of A New Hope, Rogue One follows a group of mismatched rebel soldiers as they risk everything to steal the Death Star plans from a highly protected Imperial planet.

Visually gorgeous and rife with subtly tragic characters we really wish had more time, the prequel soars thanks to its avoidance of formula. There's no prophecies here, or superpowered beings battling for the Galaxy, just everyday people with a eclectic skillset willing to fight for what they believe in.

Rogue One is epic, harrowing, and unpredictable stuff, and makes the events of the original trilogy that much richer to revisit. It's really that great.
