I didn't think it was a great movie... and I think they screwed up BIG TIME, (I'll get to it)... but overall I was entertained.
Some spoilers coming up: Don't read this if you haven't seen the movie and intend to see it.
I got quite misty eyed when Carrie made her appearance. No fault of the movie, obviously... but her onscreen appearance really caused one to exit the world of "Star Wars" and return to everyday mundane earth.
So I have two complaints - neither do I think should keep anyone away from the movie. As I said, it's entertaining... slow in places, but still fun. I knew nothing about the movie going in so once I knew the plot, (it doesn't take long), it played out somewhat like a murder mystery - in that trying to see ahead to how things were going to unfold was fun.
Ok, my complaints - they are trying to hard to come up with characters like the ones presented in the very first movie. Frankly... I didn't find myself infatuated with any of the new characters... not that they were bad.. they just didn't have 'it' to me.
Second complaint - how in the world they could end that movie without giving C3PO and R2D2 major screen time is beyond me. It was like telling Darth Vader's life story and never mentioning Skywalker... (which they didn't, by the way... or if they did it was fleeing).
I didn't know it but I guess a few more Star War movies are planned... at least two more, maybe more... ending with Chapter 9.... of which I know nothing. - JamesJM
Wasn't a big fan of the last Star Wars "the force awakens" except for the nostalgia, the story was the same old story...
But, Rogue One was fantastic!!! Love how it explained some things about the original Star Wars and how it tied in so well... No need for you to get into any of the main characters Jimmy, cuz they all die in the end. Sad, but a great way to end that movie.
The movie wasn't about R2 or cp30, it was about how the rebels figured out how to destroy the Death Star....just enough Vader at the end was perfect.
I saw it the night before Princess Leia died and talked about how sad it was that she was in the hospital recovering from a major heart attack with my wife, only to wake up to the sad news the next day that she had passed.
Seeing her at the end of that movie made it even more of a classic.
