I'm very interested, but i'll probably be waiting a week or two before I see it. Its how TFA was so popular last year which now gets shat on now while Rogue is getting so overly praised.
Star Wars is just this weird entity where its impossible to nail down perfectly, I just want to see a normal movie set in the Star Wars universe. I just want a SW style James Bondy/espionage film that doesn't have anything to do with Boba Fett. Hell, any movie with a Star Wars theme would work perfectly. Image 'Stand By Me', 'Nightcrawler' or 'Ghost In The Shell' set in any city in the SW universe.
I've learned that (post-republic) cities don't exist for very long without getting Death Star'd in the SW universe, so I don't think that'd go down very well.
"Yo, I'm a Stormtrooper detective just trying to keep the city safe from those damn jawas or jabbas or whatever."
*a jedi appears*
"Halt, we're taking you to some evil dude with a stupid looking helmet"
"Naw, bitch"
*beam of energy destroys city while jedi just barely gets away*

Holy shit how did you get ahold of the ep VIII script?
'Naw, bitch.'
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.
I agree with that. On the whole I thought the jokes/comedy came over a lot better in Rogue One than in TFA, when I was watching that they felt a little forced to fit with the sort of thing marvel films do. In this it felt more natural and in keeping with the overall tone, probably just because they were lower key and a little bit less in your face THIS IS A JOKE LAUGH NOW.

HOW GOOD IS THE SCORE?!
I don't get the comparisons to TFA, they're so different it's like saying "fuck Jedi Knight II, Rogue Leader dicks on it". They're both good BUT the Rogue1 score is a lot more memorable than TFA's. Unsurprising, given Giaccino is probably the catchiest damn scoremonger in Hollywood these days.
