Oh thanks for reminding me of my hot take: Rogue One is a thoroughly mediocre and boring movie that fails to give any of its characters personality or development. The only reason it has any acclaim is that it’s a “dark” plot in an otherwise saccharine franchise, and if the Star Wars set dressing was removed the whole movie would fall over like a potemkin village.
I do think it’s better than several of the main movies, but that’s not saying much… And I’d probably rather rewatch those trainwrecks because at least they’re entertaining.
