I enjoyed it, was a good film, slumped here and here but the ending section was great. I'd say it felt like a Star Wars film, while Ep 7 felt like some weird fan film.

Also, and most jarring, is no matter how CG a cartoon Peter Cushing looks, the voice was completely off. Plus questionable in my view.

They should have just left Tarkin and Leia and others out of the equation. The technology just isn't there. They're not fooling anyone. It's completely immersion breaking, especially for someone who knows those faces and voices by heart. Leia was the worst, as it's essentially the last thing you see before the credits roll. Also, let us use our imagination. We don't need to see Leia receive the plans by hand and then blast off into hyperspace on Tantive IV. We can put two and two together.

I get that it's a prequel, but the filmmakers aren't doing themselves any favors by trading in nostalgia at the expense of the here and now. Rogue One was a chance to expand the Star Wars universe. By remaining so dependent on Episodes III and IV, it felt more like a contraction.

This was not a movie to expand the universe and thank god for that. We had enough BS added with episode 7 that will need fixing. Let's add to the universe! Magical splitting time traveling energy beam! Yaay! It was literally a children's movie. Rogue was an adult's movie and i'm thankful for that.
