I guess this will end in bed with an old luke deing. Because... why try new stuff when you can just copy?

Just grab the Rogue one team and have them work on the SW films. Enough with the blatant retelling of the originals. Give us new and exciting stories.

Just a reminder that Star Wars borrowed liberally from The Hidden Fortress, Flash Gordon, and The Dam Busters. 

The Star Wars prequels, which told "original stories," cribbed many of the themes, tropes, and visuals of the original trilogy. There's a scene on Grievous' ship that looks a lot like the Emperor's throne room in Return of the Jedi. Attack of the Clones calls back to Empire Strikes Back early and often, in addition to movies like Blade Runner and American Graffiti. Remember that Lucas' vision for the prequels was for them to "rhyme" with the original trilogy.

While I agree TFA recycles many of the beats of ANH, it still manages to tell a story with a sense of style, humor, and joy -- something sorely lacking in Rogue One. TFA also has interesting, relatable characters that have clear motivation and change throughout the movie. In Rogue One we have a bunch of gray, boring, forgettable characters and a story that is only interesting in how it relates to a much more engaging story we already know.

Whatever is lacking in Rogue one, we can do without... bar lightsabers.

Sorry, it just means i disagree. :)

Besides there was joy and humor on Rogue one. I even have a T-shirt of him. K2SO for droid president!
