I love this movie, yet I was still disappointed that we didn’t get the story that the teaser and first trailer hinted at. Jyn seemed to be more of a criminal recruited to lead a rag-tag band of mercs in to steal the DS plans. Instead we get the daughter of the Lead Engineer who knows his password (or something, I can’t quite remember).

Also, they totally screwed up by not having Chirrut Îmwe fade away when he died. That would have been such a cool moment.
I think you’re right that this movie can both be way better than the rest of the Star Wars movies we’ve gotten in the last 30 years and yet still had ways it could have been significantly better.
The film, originally released in 2016 to positive reviews and box office success, grossed $1 million in ticket sales over the weekend, pushing its lifetime IMAX haul to $105 million. Rogue One is now among the top 10 highest-grossing films released in the premium format.
The re-release includes a special preview of Andor
Very cool, and I agree with you this is the best thing they’ve done since the original two trilogies. It’s why I’m excited for Andor. He’s an interesting character I wanted to know more about.
I enjoyed 7 too, I just think Rogue One is a better film. It’s a fun little self-contained war story with an awesome ending directly linking to episode 4.
