Just got out of Rogue One. I liked it quite a lot, but not quite as much as TFA. It’s very close, but a few very minor things made me sort of scratch my head. These things seem like they would be easy to fix in a fanedit, though, and likely will.

  1. The Rogue One title card, I liked a lot. Different, but familiar. I did not like it’s placement. I think it should’ve been at the very opening, rather than a few minutes in.

  2. Location subtitles. JEDHA, EADU, I just don’t like those in general.

I liked the CG-face characters. They weren’t perfect, but I was impressed with how far the technology has come since, for example, Tron: Legacy’s younger Jeff Bridges.

Overall, I think it felt like a good EU book, or a comic, or a game, but on the big screen. Not in that it follows Legends canon or anything, it simply expands the universe. It serves its purpose, and I liked it quite a bit.
