They really missed out on Erso's backstory, what happened between climbing into that rock and riding the prison van
Hopefully someone in the franchise will have Lucas' OCD and get that cleared up. Aside from that I enjoyed it, ending was sweet and the characters were fun. I believe critics tend to remember the collective series in their memory and forget just how fragmented each episode in the original trilogy really was. That allowed for imagination to fill in the gaps and made people love the series so much, but if they're gonna give someone the Anakin treatment it shouldn't have huge gaps.

Now I'm watching the trailers to see what I missed out on

How did the size of the Scarif attack fleet compare to the fleet at the Battle of Endor? Seems odd how they seemed roughly the same size but one was soundly defeated when the other seriously damaged their capabilities. Both were surprise attacks too. Was it me or did the entire mission seem very costly just to lead up to something the Empire knew was going to happen (an attack on the death star)

So the trailers all show Jyn, Cassian and the squad running across the beach, likely toward some rescue. Imagine if they made it back to the fleet and the Vader hall scene was with Rogue One and not random Rebel troopers

If that was the original ending I could see why they would say it's too dark and order the reshoot

I don't know, but I think dying via grenade or in a hail of bullets is a very classical way to go in terms of old war movies, and no doubt these were one of the old influences of Star Wars

I watched it a second time yesterday and realized how the Bail Organa/Leia part makes so little sense. If you're sending your daughter to inform Obi-Wan then why was she in battle with the Rebel fleet? :rolleyes:
