Re: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
The issue just comes down to a lack of story, which in turn is born from a lack of interesting characters.
It's not just an issue in this film, it's an issue in the Force Awakens as well.
To it's credit, the Force Awakens at least had a lighter tone, the more serious tone of Rogue One just can't be taken seriously.
In all honesty, it felt like a piece of fan fiction, and maybe that's the whole problem, it's weighed down by the requirements of fan service.
I've played Rogue One to a few non-Star Wars fan and frankly it bored everyone senseless within 15 minutes.
Isn't it funny how in this industry, despite all this money, there is such a struggle to find a meaningful story, you have this entire Star Wars universe, and no interesting characters or stories within it. Let's hope the Han Solo film is better but it's easy to see that being an exercise in fan service as well.
It's a shame, because the world building has come a long way and the VFX have come a long way, it's just that no one has anything to say.
