Rogue One was a flat out war movie.
I was surprised by the violence of the movie when I saw it again: it’s quite cartoonish as well as a matter of fact. Even when Darth kills rebels by dozens the scene is less violent than Anakin killing seperatists in ROTS. There is no bloodshed or severed limbs and most of the people getting killed are in a white suit (and they kinda die funny). R1 is far from being the “gritty war movie” everybody seems to remember.
