10/10 for me, probably the only film I rate that highly from the last few years. It wasn't even technically that good but somehow in my mind it came together perfectly. I've never had feels in a cinema like that final scene. I know loads of people will dislike it and I can't justify why i love it so much (not in technical movie terms anyway) but its just a big fat yes from me.

Watched all 8 star wars movies. 4,5, & 6 with the special editions with CGI added makes the old movies tie in visually much better than originally.
Rouge One is a tangent from the epic story. I liked that it showed the Rebels do-anything-it-takes style. And because it's not part of the epic and it doesn't have the main title scene or any of the main characters is totally fine. I liked the main girl. She doesn't give a shit & is looking out for herself. Much like Han Solo does, which was nice. The droid being a strategic analysis droid was cool. The movie made the transition from episode 3 to 4 so fluid it was very nice.
Hearing the stormtroopers talk about the T-15s to the T-17s technology progress was fun through the films too haha.
Favorite quote: "Rouge One?! Thrre is no Rogue One!"
Then in Episode 5 the ship is called Rouge 2 lol
Really great movie for star wars fans.
If you stay for the entire credits you get some old school John Williams star wars music that wasn't in the film

Watched it yesterday I really enjoyed it. I think it's 1000x better than episode 7 not sure where to place it in rankings of all the films maybe tied 3rd or 4th best film after the original trilogy.

I personally rank it tied with ANH in second place with ESB in first place.
My personal rankings from best to worst: Ep 5 Ep 4/Rogue one Ep 6 Ep 3 Ep 7 Ep 2 Ep 1

My ranking is rather chronological for the most part:
1<2<3<R1<4=7<5<6
Episode 7 not being the best to date ruins it.

I'm curious how people will view 7 differently with context from 8 and 9 in the future.

It was a good movie. That it had elements that some might find problematic doesn't change that. I enjoyed it all the way through, especially the second viewing onwards.
I think it would be similar to the way I thought of the first season of Avatar. A lot of the characters (especially Zuko and Iroh) were better in hindsight than they were at the moment. If the directors of the next two movies do a good job it can be the same here.

I've heard very good things about him. I just hope it all comes together well.
For what it's worth, I absolutely saw a very strong divergence in creative style in 7 from the previous movies. Yes, each of the OT movies had a new director, but they felt like they still had the creative style of George Lucas. Neither 7 nor R1 looked that way. Which is fine - there are plenty of others who make good Star Wars - but it does make me wonder if we will see yet more stylistic divergence in the future.

I thought it was pretty good but I had high hopes for Donnie Yen and they kinda made him a stereotypical asian monk n shit which I disliked. Moreover I had trouble following it at the start with seemingly multiple planets and plotlines going on at the same time(I couldnt connect them until later) which was a bit confusing.
I enjoyed it nonetheless though, the world of Star Wars remains a thing of beauty.

Excuse me ? It's the fucking reason the empire didn't destroy the rebel stronghold in Hope ? Tangent from the epic story ? fucking please
"Uh well, uh....diplomatic mission mister vader, totaly not rebels yo, what plans ? uh..." 'member fucking A new hope ?
jesus fucking christ, sorry im kinda seething over here lmfao

Yeah i suppose 'tangent' was the wrong word. Sorry grammar nazi. It's more of a divergence from the epic story.
Leia was in a tight spot there and tried to lie her way out of it. "Uh, no officer thats not mine. Is that what marijuana is?"

How is it a divergence ? it's pretty much a DIRECT FUCKING PREQUEL to Hope, please explain to me how it's a divergence ?
Leia was in a tight spot ? THEY SAW THE SHIP FUCKING ESCAPE THE BATTLEFIELD. Leia or not doesn't even matter, wtf was she doing there in the first place ? Not that it really matters though, because this piece of fuck goes straight into the fan-fiction bin as far as I'm concerned.
Stupid fucking piece of shit.

The director said "The idea is this film is supposed to be different than the saga films" I took that by how they showed a rebels story vs a force-wielding story

Well for a rebel story is very bland, but as I said before it is not good not bad, and is entertained.

Pretty much the same here. I would add, though, that 7 is part of its own trilogy so its ranking could change depending onthe next one or two films. I'm excited to watch R1 through to ep 7 on DVD.

Switch Rogue and ep3 and we got a deal ^^
Also, as said above, looking at each episode through the prism of the trilogy definitely alter the perception of the episodes.
So i'm not set with the place of the 7th yet.
