This was my complaint as well. Everyone else is like "Oh, it's so cool!" But I was mostly like "Yes, but it's so out of character. And it's kind of lame that the movie segues directly into New Hope."

I kind of would have liked it more if they just alluded to New Hope. Like have someone transmit the plans to Leia's ship and then just have one of the Imperials be like "Lord Vader, we traced a transmission", and he's like "Well then, let's go get them." So everyone understands that they're going to chase down the ship and segue into New Hope without having to have it explained in a way that babies can understand.

But I don't expect Rogue One to be flawless (especially not after the prequels, and compared to the sequels), so I'm willing to forgive it for a few things. Like this, or like how all the characters are more like mythic archetypes than actual people, or that it feels like they crammed what could have been 2-3 movies worth of plot into one movie.

This so much. I was very disappointed at how... off key, the ending of Rogue One was. It just didn't fit with the tone of the movie, or the tone of Episode IV. They were like "let's just do stuff that looks cool and goes directly into the beginning of Episode IV in an unbelievably convenient, yet laughably preposterous manner."
