I used to love The Force Awakens more than I do now. It’s just that Rogue One is so much better. It has a grittiness and realism that The Force Awakens just doesn’t have and a lot of people are right about how Episode 7 plays it safe.
The story of episode 7 is not all that good, but it’s characters are far better than that of Rogue One. The main character of Rogue One is really under developed in the film (Jyn). My favorite is Cassian. He’s the only one who’s even in the same league as Rey, Finn and Kylo Ren. But don’t get me wrong, I still really like Rogue One.
