Justin Trudeau invites children's hospital patients to advance screening of 'Rogue One'

Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau went to see Rogue One on Tuesday, and -- because this is an outing at the movies, after all -- he invited some friends.

Twenty patients from the Children's Hospital of Ontario sat with Trudeau at the special advance screening, where they all got to see Felicity Jones, Diego Luna and a whole lot of Stormtroopers in action.

Bonus: They all got to see it before all their friends. Midnight screenings? More like amateur hour.

And it looks like Trudeau enjoyed his Rogue One experience. "The verdict?" he wrote on Twitter. "#RogueOne is the best of the Star Wars prequels."

It's a valuable endorsement -- Trudeau is a longtime Star Wars fan. He even dressed up as a Hoth-bound Han Solo for Halloween last October.

Last December, he also took a group of kids from CHEO to see The Force Awakens. He enjoyed that film too, BTW, but apparently not as much as he enjoyed Rogue One.

No spoilers, Trudeau.
