Rogue One gets good when you get to the classic Star Wars space battles with X Wings and shit.

It had fine character development. Other than Jyn, what do we know about any of the characters? Why do we give a shit about any of them? Bodhi, the kung-fu-jedi wannabe and machine-gun-blaster dude? They're disposable. Not fleshed out. Inconsequential, just set pieces. The only character that I think had any actual depth was Galen Erso, and he's barely in it except to get killed. Not even going to touch on Uncanny Valley Tarkin and the rubber-faced young Leia, or cheesy one liner Vader and his badass skills he forgets in a couple weeks verses Kenobi. Meh, a dropped ball. Had potential, but just not a compelling story and mostly fan service. |

Rogue 1 was a very good spin off disguised as a war movie. To me it plays out like Guns of Navarone. The ending 10 minutes felt like a horror movie. all of my co-workers loved the movie. |

I thought it was one of the best. The rebel troops on the ground at the end reminded me of a vietnam war movie.

It's like watching a movie about a bunch of background characters. Half way through the movie I realized I didn't know any of the character's names and I still don't remember them. The only good part was the Vader scenes. They should of made a Vader movie so you can see him doing awesome Vader stuff like that. |

I enjoyed R1, was well done, Thought they did a great job with Tarkin, but a shitty job with Leia. The Vader scene was fucking awesome, though JEJ voice was really weird.
TFA was enjoyable the third time I watched it, but it isn't a good movie, just a SJW ripoff of the original. The Last Jedi will most likely suck as well. |

Rogue One has the tried and true Star Wars/Disney formula and character development. If you went in expecting something else I don't know what to tell you. It had potential to be MORE than the boilerplate SW/Disney pander-fest. And, that would have made it something really good. But, again, it was missed potential. |

I agree the Rogue One could have been better, but I still liked it. I thought Force Awakens was pretty fucking fantastic actually. I wanted to stand up and cheer near the end when she beats his ass in the woods. When she discovered her powers over him in the interrogation chair I had chills...I think I'm in love with her.

It was an utterly pointless film that had no drama and you knew the ending. It was stupid.
Star Wars is three movies released in 1977, 1980, and 1983. That's it. |

None of that contradicts Ep4. We have no idea how much time is between the end of RO and ANH, could be minutes or months. ANH to TESB was 3 years and Han was still hanging around a Rebel base that the Empire hasn't found yet.. Time seems to move slowly for them. Death Star in RO was only using partial power, Alderaan was still the first full shot into a planet. My biggest problem with the Disney movies are how close they were to epic, and we have to settle for decent. There's some good examples online of a few small tweaks that would have vastly improved both. Quote HistoryQuoted:

It's because the movie was taken apart and put back together. Disney didn't like how "dark" and "war like" the original was and changed a lot of the ending. Hell, as it stands now the ending of Rogue One clashes directly with A New Hope. Vader would have had no fear of holding Leia hostage, if he had personally witnessed her ship flying away from battle. To boot, they mentioned "several transmissions were beamed to this ship" not "I killed a bunch of people and watched the plans physically handed off from one guy to the next, and I decided I couldn't be bothered to use my force powers to stop him from running, because I was having too much fun slashing others". The movie is mediocre at best, doesn't blend well with the original source material (Episode 4), entire first half lacks much of any genuine story development/character development and jumps from planet to planet needlessly. Hell, they even use the death star laser, when per episode 4 the first time the laser is used is on Alderan. My biggest problem with the Disney movies are how close they were to epic, and we have to settle for decent. There's some good examples online of a few small tweaks that would have vastly improved both. The original ending of Rogue One was supposed to actually have them transmit/beam the plans off their vessel, just before it blows up. This would have made it actually work and blend perfectly with Episode 4, in the sense of changing hands. Sorry man but they flat out failed at reading/looking at their source material and blending it. They retconned, as so many horrible stories/writers resort to. |

The best Star War's movie is from either the 1970's or 1980's, its not Rouge One, and anyone who say's otherwise doesnt know what there talking about.
And just in case anyone missed it, I am including a couple more mistake's and apostrophe's because thats the state of written communication these day's. Just think of how bad it will be in another ten year's of texting and public school education. |

Overall, just ok.
Better than the pre-quels (with the exception of the Darth Maul fight) but that bar is set pretty low. CGI Tarkin and Leila were creepy. Picks up toward the end, but no desire to re-watch. |

Rey should have have been a bystander in the last fight fin should have fought teen angst Vader and been whipping his ass as he was a badass storm trooper then gayder was like oh yeah this bolt to the side threw me off and i forgot im a space wizard and he could have force choked fin out, rey could have used her new powers to save fin then the planet breaks apart like normal. she goes to find luke while fin has sex with poe. much better ending and still has all the required SJW angles. |
