I’m not trying to be a troll. I just didn’t think too much of this movie, that’s all. Reasonable people can disagree. I understand that this is part of an anthology that doesn’t correlate directly with the 9-part Star Wars anthology, and that it is just in the same universe, but I didn’t think that this was a very good film. Disney is, IMHO, using the Star Wars name to rake in bucks without putting too much creativity into the movies. 7 just sucked - it had a few good moments, but the story wasn’t that great. Rogue One is in the same boat - again, IMHO.
When Lucas had full control, things at least had a shot at being of higher quality. Not so under Disney, plus we get a lot of PC crap as part of the bargain.
Um when Lucas had full control we got those awful, unwatchable bad prequels, The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. Those films represent 6 hours of my life I will not get back. I think I’d rather sit through an Ed Wood marathon than watch those again. Quality? Lucas? Jar Jar Binks anyone? “Actors” like Hayden Christenson?
Disney is improving the brand after those debacles.
If this movie was better than those, that's something.
Sequels are usually disappointing, but if this movie was better than the crummy Star Wars prequel series that came out around the turn of the century, that's also something.
