If the Death Star just destroyed the city then the rest of the planet might still be visit-able.
I missed Biggs.

Yep.
Rogue One being a success doesn't change the fact that the Han Solo movie is a bad idea.

Meh just go for it, Han was already ruined by ROTJ, then made worse in the 1997 SE then in TFA he collects cgi monsters.

Yup yup yup. If anything it maybe shows how unnecessary an idea it is.

an interesting review based on time.....
15 minute mark: 7/10
30 minute mark: 5/10
60 Minute mark: 6/10
90 minute mark 6/10
100 minute mark: 9/10
110 minute mark: 10/10
Overall score: 7.2/10
Spoiler free review:
What we have here is a film that takes a LONG time to get underway. The pacing is very, very bad.....until you get to the end and you realize why they were pacing it that way. You can almost feel the influence of the changes made to keep people engaged , with a bit of nostalgia thrown in at the moments where you start thinking about how uncomfortable your seat is....(and we were sitting in the new recliner seats.)
The movie is DARK, which is not something I normally complain about. It's brooding and laborious early pace is , I believe, intentional to a degree. The cinematography matched the mood for the entire film. The early film is shot in mostly dark scenes which gradually get lighter until the end when everything is shot in full daylight. But to start a film in bleak blackness and leave it there for so long really drains your enthusiasm fast. The saving grace is that the pace kept speeding up and the tone gets brighter and faster , so that by the end your leaving the theater pumped..... (one scene in particular left me speechless).
The amazing CGI work done to bring back some favorite characters is superb. Seeing those characters on screen again was a real connection to A New Hope. The way in which they connect this movie to A New Hope was masterfully done.
What the movie needed was a good editor, who could have cut out some of the dead weight. Its tough to see after a first viewing what could be cut, because alot of it would have been cutting character development , which is need to make the ending more impact. I am glad to see all the naysayers who did not think Disney would produce a dark film were proved wrong. It was a surprise to me how much I liked the characters by the end of the movie.
If it were up to me I would have changed or cut Cassian's arc, along with Saw Gerrera.....that part was totally unneeded. Jyn could have been inspired any an number of other sources, and Forest Whitaker was just miscast in that part......too much exposition for a character that amounts to nothing.
The music was so far from typical Star Wars that I almost did not believe John Williams had done it. This was my biggest disappointment.
A solid Sci-Fi, heavy on nostalgia , but worth of the Star Wars name.

John William definitely didn't do it, but he didn't do any SW films.
John Williams didn't do it either.

Loved it- maybe more than I did when out of the TFA. Amazing experience- simple story told many times over and all but carried by some good performances and great momentum and pacing after a somewhat slow first half hour.
Most amazing space battle effects in 3D done so far...TFA pales by comparison. again TFA was a meticulous retread of ANH so it couldn'd be too technically amazing. One CGI main character was abit too stiff ...not quite there...
I hate it when I love a movie- now gotta buy all the figures...

I really enjoyed "said character" CGI appearance.... I felt it was spectacular......that fact you know he's dead makes it unreal.....ask someone with little Star Wars knowledge to see if they can tell which person is full CGI.....they will not guess it....(they will say Leia)
Its come a long way since Bridges and "Clue"

Michael Giacchino was the composer. This is the guy people think should take over when Williams retires.

I think only Howard Shore has shown enough proficiency with the whole leitmotif game to be able to live up to those Williams scores.

Makes it even more of a pathetically desperate lie. 
Re: Rogue one: Spoilers confirmed! You are warned do no read these are real
So true. I think they made a mistake regarding the age of Senator Organa, he should have been older.
Unless there is something about alderaanians that make them look younger?
Overall a good movie, went with no high expectations and not being exposed to rumors or internet leaks.
I enjoyed it and will see it again; to look out for some of the easter eggs I missed.
Other 2 things that bother me was:
1- In the Vader and Krennic scene, does Vader looks sometimes small? I guess it was the angle, Krennic actor is only 5'11'
2- Corrected
That's my 2 cents
