It had potential, but it wasn't very good. Too much time spent throwing bones to the fanboys not enough with a compelling story, character development, diversity-poster nonsense.

I'm not into Star Wars but I rented episode 4 after to keep it going.

Decent and worth seeing.  Better than any of the other crap they've put out since ROTJ.

that's not a good measuring device.



and a +1 for "it was ok"

it had a little too much forced nostalgia in it.

like why did the imperial stronghold have AT-AT/ST's and other such shit and on standby no less.


the not Jedi Eli was also annoying, but that's just me really despising that archetype.

but those minorities yo.

I meant to watch The Force Awakens which was awesome.

The Force Awakens was solid.

Rogue One seemed like it was taken apart and put back together again 20 times.  It was an okay movie but didn't really seem to have any direction.

Had a few really cool parts that didn't make up for what a mess it was.  The final battle was completely impossible to follow and seemed to just have a bunch of people running around like retards with AT ATs coming out of nowhere.

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.

There wasn't a whiney Darth Vader wannabe bad guy, so it was better than Force Awakens.  And the main character chick was purty.  So it has that going for it.  Which is nice.

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.

just another brain dead, risk free remake

perfectly awful, with a nice dollop of SJW politics on top

Well this thread is making me think I need to give it another try.  Just couldn't make it past the first 15 minutes when it seemed another rehash of old SW stuff.  The same stupid silly uniforms, the deathstar, the same overwrought dialogue.  But it sounds like it gets better.

The Empire villain actually had more personality than any other one so far.   There was some humor but it wasn't blatantly kid-oriented.   The Jedi shit was thankfully kept to a very minimal minimum.  The use of the Death Star on a city was appalling and impressive and personal in a way that seeing a planet explode from far away can't convey.   The fleet action felt more realistic and chaotic.   The moral themes were more dark and complex.
