Hmm this one is tough for me… I always found the ground troops, pilots and soldiers more interesting then the jedi. I liked the balance in the originals but really looked forward to this one… Because of the promise of a gritty more routed war movie.

At the end I enjoyed the movie… But was also quite disappointed.

The first act gave me nothing it seemed pointless and to crowded with unimportant details that never paid off… I would really like to see the version before the reshoots because for me it seemed like a big patchwork that never fitted together as intended.

Same for the characters I liked jyn… But that pilot for example? It always seemed as if his story arc is missing.

And no I don’t need backstory for everything… But often it seemed as if there was backstory planned and filmed and than cut out.

I have hoped they would be more bold in their creative decisions… and I know it is nitpicking… But small stuff like that ugly titelcard that looked like the intro of an untalented star wars YouTube channel… Why not using something completely original?

Same for the soundtrack…

I really loved the space battle…
I really loved the more depressing gritty tone… But it seemed unstructured in most groundbattle scenes.

I totally disliked those small cameos, especially r2 and 3po. That’s one of the point red letter media got right in their review.

It was fun to watch, it was more my kind of star wars the most of the jedi focused stuff out there… But it was still played to save for my liking and it seemed to unstructured.
