What were Michael's favorite movies?

Kiera Garrity

“Favourite movies” does not even begin to describe my dad’s Star Wars obsession. I always joked that his brain was just on a constant cycle of thinking about Star Wars and hockey, and it was true. 
He listened to Star Wars podcasts, kept up with theories and lore videos on YouTube, decorated our apartment with as much Star Wars memorabilia as he could get his hands on, and made sure I was updated on all of the Star Wars community drama. 
He loved all of the movies and shows, and thought it was ridiculous that people hated the new content. “Star Wars is Star Wars”, he’d say, and that was more than enough for him. 
His favourite character was Ahsoka Tano, but his absolute favourite movie was Rogue One, because it answered all of the questions he’d had for so many years. We always joked that he needed an intervention, because there were many weeks and months where he’d watch it at least once a day.  
If you want to feel a bit closer to my dad, watch Rogue One and think about how much it meant to both of us.
