I think Rogue One definitely has some issues worth criticising, but I really do like it a lot. For me it’s easily up there with the original trilogy. In fact if I were to rank just the Star Wars movies, no other media, I’d probably put it at number 3, despite its flaws.
It’s a movie where an absolute banger of a third act has to do a LOT of work to make up for a very weak first two acts, but my god the third act is so fucking good that it somehow pulls it off. The space battle, the assault on the tower, everyone doing their little part to help push towards one tiny little victory… that fucking Vader scene… it really does stick the landing.
