People, I get what makes Rogue One a good movie. I'm asking how it was allowed to be made into a good movie.

You mean what went wrong with the new ones? That's easy: JJ Abrams.

Ahh now. TFA was fine. At that point all I wanted anyway was reassurance that the Age of 100% Greenscreen and "I hate sand" had passed. Slavish recreation of the OT was a relief then... it's just a boring way to follow the actually fresh and provocative take on SW in TLJ.

I have it above Jedi. I knock Jedi down due to Ewoks and it takes 40 min to get beyond Jabba.

And why isn’t Garreth Edwards getting more projects!?

Obvious - The main characters are new and largely unconnected to the series regulars. The movie also cleverly uses the villains of the original sparingly. None of the baggage of the other movies. And fans didn’t have expectations of main series.

Narrow focus on one single item (How'd the rebellion get the plans?); Extra effort to match the look & feel to "New Hope"; Great performances, esp. Felicity Jones; Story of sacrifice -- the good guys win, but their losses are huge: nothing "cutesy" about Rogue One.

A narrow focus is probably the most crucial. The original films were very focused and linear. One issue with the prequels is their sprawling narrative. With the newest trilogy, the focus is narrow, but scattered all over, changing lanes on a dime, and taking the exit prematurely.

They understand the physics of the dogfighting WW1/2 style combat unlike any other movie since the original trilogy. Both the prequels and (especially) the new movies make the vehicles feel immaterial
