Apart from Donnie Yen and the droid, no one is memorable to me. Theyre all cardboard cutouts.

Like, does anyone think Bodhi Rook is a compelling character?

No. This is actually the reason I dislike Rogue One. They try to play up this big drama between all of these characters but I couldnt care less about any of them. Even the droid was just comic relief.

They were okay. Rogue One felt more like a war movie than the rest of the Star Wars movies and it probably did action better than most of them (though I understand that this is difficult to measure considering the tech limits the originals had). I think the main reason this flaw seems so jarring is because the originals were so good at balancing action and drama.

There was a bit of character development for a few of them, so I remember them by face (if not necessarily name), which is good enough for the kind of movie it is. It's more about the mission, and the general idea of the ragtag group of rebels and spies accomplishing an impossible task.

Cameos dont count.

Krennic was cool I guess, but thats mainly because Ben Mendelsohn is so great. His character was just generic evil man from what I remember.

The best scene I remember from that movie is the one with Dr. Evazan.

That speaks volumes.

If you said 'who?' after reading that, that, again, speaks volumes.

I hated that scene. It was just unnecessary universe shrinkage that added nothing.

I enjoyed the film and characters. They might not have been compelling but I found them enjoyable enough regardless.

Maybe just jaded by how bad all the other star wars films are that an "ok" one looks that much better.

I like Krennic because he was basically the only fleshed out character in the entire movie. Quite a fun bad guy like Tarkin in ANH.

Rogue One is not a very good movie

ikr it follows the same exact dull, generic formula as the sequels however it has the advantage of being a one and done action film.

Of course it does. You could remove his scenes and the movie would be no different.

I actually remember the character arcs that the Rogue One characters have.

One movie tells us more about Jyn then 3 movies do about Rey.

Rogue One just has the advantage of not making anybody angry. If they didn't enjoy it, it was at least not offensive.

Because there is a difference between a movie having fan service like rogue one and having nothing but fan service like jjs star wars.

Rogue 1 uses star wars to enhance it's story, jj uses it because he can't find anything on his own to say but hey weren't the ot great?

Funny thing.

This Christmas I volunteered to help out a toy distribution place and they had a ton of Jyn Eros dolls. More than any other.

My only conclusion is stores couldn't sell them and so they dumped them.

First time I saw the trailer for R1 I thought they said Jan Ors and absolutely flipped my shit thinking they were bringing Dark Forces in from the cold.
