The Force Awakens and its follow-ups had so few memorable characters, it’s a wonder Disney – and Oscar Isaac – are still talking about potential spin-offs

Rogue One was the only decent star wars story in recent history. It was within the star wars universe but wasn't a total rehash of the same Jedi story.

If they had done the Solo twins storyline with the Jedi academy they would have had all the YA books to pull ideas from that was original stories instead of the modernized remake.

    Rogue One is absolute trash, watch it again and tell me literally any redeeming quality it has. Just because they tell a """"dark"""" story about war in a franchise that usually doesn't deal with that doesn't make it good, they also need to include things like character development and plot.

    Edit: oh also it is a rehash, just of a single line -- "Many Bothans died to bring us this information" -- which still managed to convey more pathos and drama than the entire movie. And yes, I know that's not actually the story being told, but if you don't think that line inspired the movie you are an idiot.

    There were no Bothans in Rogue One. They had nothing to do with stealing the original Death Star plans. They were the ones responsible for bringing Intel about the Death Star 2 in RoTJ. Get your facts right.

    Rogue One is the only Star Wars movie I would actually call forgettable. I can’t tell you what happened other than the most basic premise (that they cribbed from Dark Forces), and that they all blew up at the end.

    Oh, and those absolutely dogshit CGI actor replacements. That parts seared into my brain.
