Gareth Edwards made a good side-story for the old Star Wars, explaining where did Leia get blueprints from. Don't get me wrong, it is still a rip off old movies, just not as blatant as The Force Awakens. We have Death Star again(third time!!!), yongling from desert planet, father-daughter conflict, new droid... facepalm. If Force Awakens was a soulless fake. Roge One was made with some love, you can feel it. It's not really dark, just more gloomy take on resistance struggle. There was no new stories, no interesting plot twist, but everything is just organic and in a natural flow. Good action sequences, some good jokes from droid, no brainless happy end. Now prepare your heads to be blown: there are no sword fights! Wow! What?! How did they make a rip-off from the Star Wars without sword fights, it's a mystery. Movie does not have the smallest smell of old Star Wars spirit, but it's OK. Lucas himself lost it long time ago. As people change! And masterpieces are more like giant coincidences from millions of inspirations, events, people on project and cultural scene of the period in general. So the best we can hope is new ideas or new take on old(and very simple) story. For now it's just a side-story. Guys please get some new ideas! You can't repeat the same thing over and over!
