Star Wars: Rogue One (opens in new tab) had its fancy Hollywood premiere (opens in new tab) last night, complete with X-Wings and Stormtroopers on the red carpet. 

That means we get some early reactions to the first spin-off movie in the Star Wars universe. These are all spoiler-free but so far people seem to be extremely happy with the movie. There’s plenty of praise for its action, emotion, relationships, plus its authenticity to the originals and war movie feel. 

And if Wil Wheaton says it’s good. It’s good.
