    Or is maybe Rogue One just not a very good movie already?

      @scribus To be honest: While I like Rogue One in parts the whole thing is sub-par. Jyn Erso's motivation is as thin as it can get and the Cassian's assassination attempt was absolutely unnecessary. The Death Star is built. Chirrut and Baze are absolutely superfluous to the story, and Bodhi was very poorly integrated. It shows that the movie was reshot and what they kept felt very disjointed.

        @adiwan Yeah, overall I enjoyed it, but it was uneven. A slow start, and the main protagonist pair didn't make an impression on me other than "Not the leads from Force Awakens." However, when they finally got to warring amongst the stars, it was a whole lot of fun, and it was cool to see a movie about the previously unsung heroes of the rebellion. The CGI recreations of original trilogy actors was an interesting experiment, but I'm not certain it's fair to the actors taking over the roles. Probably a B-minus overall. Maybe a C+. Still hesitant about the Han Solo one coming up.
