I choose Strongly Great. > Lovely non mary sue lead female > Great cast > Diversity done right & not abrasively > Phenomenal score especially towards the end > Best cinematography of the franchise > Entire final battle up to the credits is masterfully done and intense, best space battle since Return of the Jedi > Sequence with Jedha city being destroyed was solid > Vader's slaughtering sequence was epic and brutal as hell > Krenic was a massive breath of fresh air after the largely awful Imperial/First Order staff in the main new trilogy
Get ready. Your thread is about to look like an angry special ed class. I expressed in a thread the other day that I consider Rogue One a better film that RotJ and every idiot on the board about lost their damn mind. None of them could articulate why they disagreed mind you, they just started sperging off and throwing around superlatives.

While I enjoyed Rouge One, the blatant references shoved in our faces were annoying. Brought the movie down for me. I'd put it in my top 5 Star Wars movies though.

Nothing to see here.
Lincoln Sanchez
rogue one? more like rogue NONE hahah what a hunk of shit
Christopher Howard
The references and fan service were a bit heavy handed. I'll admit that the Vader walk of death scene added nothingto the movie but I still enjoyed the heck out of it.
Oh there's another one.
Colton Barnes
>Great cast >Diversity done right & not abrasively the cast wasn't that great and the correct way to do "diversity" is not doing it; but yeah, this was the most watchable of the disney wars flicks (I haven't watched the last one yet though)
Austin Campbell
its the best film after 4 & 5
Leo Allen
>expressed in a thread the other day that I consider Rogue One a better film that RotJ it literally is tho
Why is she not a Mary Sue and why is this diversity done right? A white woman, a mexican, two chinamen and a black jihadi..
What makes this "done right"?

>I haven't watched the last one yet though Oh you're missing out.
One thing I liked about the diversity was Diago Luna. Pretty much a white guy but with an accent other than British/American. It makes sense to have more than two accents in the galaxy so hiring an actor with a different accent adds depth to the universe without looking like they're trying to tick off some diversity box.
Owen Watson
>the blatant references shoved in our faces were annoying I am profoundly sick of people saying this. The only references of note were... > The bar thugs appearing. > C3P0 and R2 appearing. Both were only on screen for like 3 seconds.
Tarkin and Leia appearing where not mere references.
Vader, Palpatine AND Tarkin not being present for the first test firing of the Death Star would be absurd. It makes perfect damn sense that Tarkin would appear and his CGI fluctuated between acceptable and good.
Dominic Martin
>Oh you're missing out. I find that hard to believe. I'll watch it eventually though, I'm in no hurry.
it's the only star wars film I've enjoyed and still I wouldn't watch it again
Aaron Hall
>and the correct way to do "diversity" is not doing it There is nothing wrong with diversity as long as it's not celebrated within the film itself and they play normal characters and not abrasive flawless pillars whom all the white characters are in awe of. With R1 they were all flawed nuanced human beings except maybe Donnie Yen but he was a lot of fun.
Luis Taylor
A Mary Sue is good at everything and everyone likes her. She is good at beating up on strom-troopers and not much else. Her father is a scientist so they could have shoe-horned in a scene of her being good at science to but they didn't. Didn't show here knowing other languages or being an expert in anything. The first time she meets the main cast she gets choke slammed into the mud by one of them.
A ary-Sue also is very spare on flaws. jyn has loads, she's angry, mistrustful, fucks up grabbing the message, fucks up conveying the message, needs to be talked out of killing a disabled enemy.
She also ends the movie without having formed any romantic bond with anyone.
Luke Perez
>Why is she not a Mary Sue She is flawed, not overpowered, she starts the film in a selfish mindset. She is emotional and not stoic and perfect.
>and why is this diversity done right? A white woman, a mexican, two chinamen and a black jihadi.. >What makes this "done right"? They all feel like real human beings and not diversity checklist marks. They aren't celebrated or preached about within the film. None of them are abrasive and white people aren't made to look bad to make them look better.
Cameron Gonzalez
Really like RO. It was pure fan service to a manchild like me, who played StarWars games with my other SW-fan friends since the 80's. Saw it twice in the local cinema and a third time in a bigger place with my wife.
Haven't watched Rise of Skywalker yet.
Kayden Nelson
Tarkin felt weird. When he first appeared I thought he'd stay stoically looking out the window, so as not to reveal the weird CGI too much In the film as it is, Tarkin wasn't too enthused with the Death Star till the Jedha firing, so you could have the argument between him and Krennic happen over hologram As it was it wasn't the worst though, Rogue One is unironically the best post-prequel star wars film
It'd have been top 3 star wars movies if the blind monk had actually unlocked the force and used a light saber or force powers. His final scene walking through the shots was pretty good but everyone at my theater was left waiting for him to become a true Jedi. Now THAT would have been fanservice done right
Lincoln Brown
The whole setup to this movie is completely unnecessary. I need to know nothing about Jyn or her backstory. They could've made the whole movie the fucking battle at the end and it would've been a better movie. Nothing in the first 3/4 of the move is necessary. None of the slow character introductions at the beginning paid off. No one cares about Saw Guerrera or her fucking dad. Just make the whole movie the fucking battle and focus on the tactics instead of pretending like I should give a shit about the characters because you introduced them to me slowly over an hour and a half. Fuck this movie is such a poorly constructed slog.
Ayden Rivera
Hey, it made me emotional when everyone died at the end, no one expected that except people who saw the first movie AND remembered the details having watched it decades ago
