Should check out this interview with Ben Mendelsohn: http://collider.com/ben-mendelsohn-rogue-one-star-wars-interview/#changes
“We did have multiple, multiple ways of going at any given scenario, we had multiple readings of it. So should they ever decided to, there would be a wealth of ways of approaching these different things. And I know from having seen sort of the crucial kind of scenes throughout it, I know there’s vastly different readings of at least four of those scenes, with enormous differences within I would’ve said 20 or 30 of the scenes.”
I think this is the problem. These films are being made in a corporate board room.
And they suck as a result.
