“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” has been autopsied from almost every possible angle.

I liked it (the movie, I mean). This is the prequel Star Wars deserved because unlike whiny teenage Anakin and Padme and Jar-Jar Binks, I actually like the Rogue One characters.

Also the entire ending starting from the Scarif stuff, was fantastic.
