8.3 / 10

3. Svenska Dagbladet

8.3 / 10

Translated from swedish: "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" is a warlike story packed with references to previous episodes of the space opera. Still, it holds up well in its own right.

4. Aftonbladet

8 / 10

8. Russin

8 / 10

Translated from swedish: A drawn-out, thrilling finale with major sacrifices in a pleasantly sun-drenched setting and a very sleek transition to episode 4 rounds off a truly successful middle film that surpasses several of the main films.
- Anders Lindahl

9. Uppsala Nya Tidning

8 / 10

Translated from swedish: Technically and in terms of pace, it's definitely "extra everything". It becomes a secondary matter that there are, of course, a limited number of stories to tell, and that this one has been done several times before. But it is entertaining.

10. Filmtopp

8 / 10

Translated from swedish: When the film finds its footing, it stands remarkably solid and delivers some of the space opera's most memorable moments. A terrifyingly competent piece of craftsmanship that I didn't even know was missing from the already beautiful tapestry.

11. Om Filmer

8 / 10

Translated from swedish: The film contains everything a Star Wars movie should have: battles, laser shots, villains, and flights through hyperspace

12. Kommunalarbetaren

8 / 10

Translated from swedish: The film holds together well through a simple plot, without particularly many side tracks. The environments are really impressive, without that video game shimmer that characterized episodes 1 to 3. There's a bit too much action at the end, which brings down the final rating somewhat, but it still ends up being high.

13. Fredrik Fyhr

7.5 / 10

Translated from swedish: Although it's good enough, it could have been so much better, so much more, in a better world. One not ruled by empires. One where the rebels could truly win.
- Fredrik Fyhr

14. Moviezine

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" is a bombastic and stylish action film that never stops being entertaining, but it's not fantastic. It doesn't rise above its concept. Watch it, but be aware of that.
- Carl Adam Anderberg

15. Göteborgs-Posten

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: After a literally dark prologue, the film itself gets underway. It turns out to be rough and violent, and primarily a war film.
- Mats Johnson

16. Sveriges Radio

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: This is simply a rather pale sequel that clearly has the character of a middle film. It feels like they had the ambition to create an adult version of Star Wars, but didn't quite dare to go all the way.
- Roger Wilson

18. Toppraffel

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" is a fairly decent film, it's okay space action, but my main feeling after watching it was: Was that all? Shouldn't it have been a bit crazier, a bit cooler, a bit more fun than this?
- Pidde Andersson

19. Kulturbloggen

4 / 10

Translated from swedish: I would have wished for more dramaturgy, deeper character development, and more exploration of the core story that has captivated so many of us – rather than this fairly substantial side story. For me, at least, it's a side story from what Star Wars is really about to me.
