Ok guys was it better or on par as compare to Star War's Rogue One film?
Rogue One was better. Although Rogue One was slow if you looked at the film as a whole it made sense. You can clearly see that Disney is trying to put more nonstop action and less into character and plot development into the Star Wars movies to please the younger fan base. Can you imagine if today’s kids and teenagers tried to watch the OT? They would fall asleep.
With TLJ the whole Finn and Rose Canto Bight scenes was actually pretty useless. I’m not going to spoil it but for those who haven’t watched it but for those who did they’ll understand because Haldo was holding out her secret plans.
And the whole First Order chasing the Resistance ships is just complete BS. I’m sorry but can’t they call in a couple of frigates or corvettes to chase the Resistance ships? Not to mention they had more than enough tie fighters to sacrifice to take out one Resistance crusier. Or maybe they could have used their heads and send a couple of their destroyers ahead via a short hyperspace jump to wait for the Resistance. Like come on it’s the First Order.
Not to mention the character developments sucked in this film. Hux was at least terrifying in TFA. In TLJ he is literally an incompetent general who is purely there for humor.
I’ll sum it up as this:
Good: the action scenes, the visuals, and the acting
Neutral: soundtrack and comedy
Bad: Story and character development - Canto Bight aka Finna and Rose plotline, follow up to TFA (nothing connected with TFA, they didn’t explain who the KoR were in the force back from Rey), Rey, Snoke, Phasma, Luke (Hamill himself said when he read the script TLJ he didn’t like the way Rain was taking it), Mary Poppins aka Leia (like seriously did the producers not notice the shield was still up when she did her thing?).
