The only good thing to come from Rogue One is the blind monk. I'd like a movie featuring nothing but him going "I am the Force. The Force is with me." for 2 hours.
Donnie Yen fucking sucked in R1. His friend was even worse. Hi, I'm my blind friends pal. We used to protect the jedi temple or whatever. We're drifters. I have no character development. I have a big gun. It's really great character development and interaction to not go over the character who keeps saying "I am the force" without going into detail about his actual relationship with it beyond anything abstract. But it's cool, the movie makes up for it by showing me doing cool action scenes. Totally not like the prequels, everyone.
Hi. I'm a pilot. They gave me a drug that was supposed to destroy my mind. Five minutes later, I seem fine. Internal story consistency and logic works in this movie. /s We are on a suicide mission and as said, I'm an Imperial pilot but guess what I'm
not doing?
Flying something.
The movie fails at storytelling 101.
Thinking about it, and all the reviews for it claiming to be the best SW movie since Empire is making me chuckle even harder as I write this post. What a total crap movie. By the end of the movie you're like "why should I care about any of this?"
At least with Obi Wan there's potential for exploring the tragic loneliness of being the last of your order, watching over the son of your pupil who has destroyed so many lives. You could kill Luke in case he ever become like his father. Why take him under your wing after you failed the first time? Now there's a story that shows potential for exploring actual characters and not canvasses merely there to push the action forward *cough* R1 *cough* Instead we're getting a crappy sounding movie about Han Solo which will most likely suck.
