Thought it was pretty great, although I’d rate it a bit behind TFA, mostly because I just didn’t enjoy the actors and characters as much. Donnie was great, Alan was great, Felicity was very good, and I did enjoy Tarkin, but otherwise there was too much “meh” character-wise. Especially the main dude protagonist, he got a ton of screen time and I found him to be very not interesting, as a character and as an actor. I can’t even remember his name.
The ending was fantastic.

AOTC 0.1/10So glad to see someone else putting TFA ahead for the same reason. Jones and Luna both gave wonderful performances, but the writing just wasn’t there. I actually really loved every member of the main gang except the two main ones. Donnie Yen was just spectacular, and Riz Ahmed really endeared his character to me in spite of not having a hell of a lot to do.
I liked what there was of the new characters but there wasn’t much. Rogue One honestly doesn’t even come close to TFA for me. Add all the RO characters up and mulitply by 10 and I still don’t care as much about them as Rey (or even Finn or Kylo Ren).
