Plenty of nits to pick w Rogue One but it totally nails the frantic hope/despair calculus of what's at stake in the moment (and in our time)

The uncanny valley moments and Giacchino's soundtrack were the major letdowns in this otherwise mostly competent & gritty Star Wars flick

Even though, on balance, I kinda liked R1's ragtag rebel squad, Daisy Ridley's Mary Sue remains the most engaging new char in the franchise

Aw, c'mon, don't call her a Mary Sue. How gritty, by the way? Major character death gritty? Thinking about my kid seeing it.

erm, not exactly Revenge of the Sith-traumatic, but close in intent. (She's an archetypical Mary Sue, but Daisy made her work fine)

Thanks...I haven't seen Revenge of The Sith, I gave up at Attack of the Clones, but will ponder.

erm, don't take any kid to see Revenge, it's the best of the prequels by far, but relatively traumatic even for adults

No way is any child of mine seeing a prequel while it's in my power to prevent. Was asking abou Rogue One.

I understand the rancor & share it, but Revenge is actually strong in most part. Too bad you need to go thru the others to see it

: ) It's also my allergy to bad acting. Christensen is unwatchable.

ah, lol, I know. It isn't just him either, large tracts of the entire prequel trilogy are cringe-inducing. And a bit of Rogue One
