ROGUE ONE has been rated 12A for UK audiences, meaning kids of any age can see it as long as they are with an adult.

If you’re wondering whether to take your youngsters to the movie, here’s a ten-year-old’s verdict...

ROGUE ONE is VERY loud, there’s lots of fighting, and a couple of parts are quite scary. But it’s BRILLIANT and there’s no swearing.

Have you noticed that Star Wars keeps making the lead character a girl?

They’ve done it again here. But that doesn’t matter.

The story is about a prisoner who gets busted out of jail by Rebel forces and gets recruited to find the plans to ultimate destructor beam, the Death Star.

She embarks on a fantastic journey, escaping through rough terrains and finding herself in tricky situations.

I didn’t like all of the Rebels. Some wanted to surrender to the Empire. And some have done really bad things, including Cassian Andor (played by Diego Luna), who says he has been fighting this battle since he was six years old.

It made me wonder if all rebels are good in real life, and it made me think about Syria and whether we should help rebels or not.

The best thing is that there are new stormtroopers called Death Troopers who wear black, as well as great new characters and villains.

However, there are some famous old characters in it too – I’m not saying who or how they do it!

There is a big monster with tentacles which extracts memories from prisoners. That was quite scary for young kids.

I think the film is suitable for Star Wars fans aged seven and over.

My favourite new characters are Cassian Andor and the droid K-2SO (voiced by Alan Tudyk) who is really funny.

He has the best line, as the Death Star destroys a city: “There’s a problem on the horizon . . . there is no horizon.”

There’s also a blind Rebel called Chirrut Imwe who is awesome in the way he senses things around him.

He reminded me of the Marvel character Daredevil.

What I don’t understand is how it was set “a long time ago”, which I think must be the 1700s, yet they had better technology than we do now!

I noticed some references to the original Star Wars but I prefer the more recent films as the effects are better.

I would say this one is my joint favourite with The Force Awakens.

My friends will love it. I will definitely see it again, but I think I’ll wait a week!

DEATH STAR RATING: ★★★★ 1/2
