No, just no

Rating: 5/10 (7 January 2017)

The first Rogue One trailer was great. It promised a dangerous mission of vital importance against insurmountable odds with a heroine who may or may not turn to the Dark Side.
Reality is a harsh mistress, particularly when she's had time to do reshoots and play around in the editing room. Which is understandable, because while Star Wars has a deep emotional connection for many, in the end it's also a product. Each movie is designed to make money, scratch that, a whole lot of money. So yes, Disney is going to push and pull on things in the editing process to invoke all the feels, making us want to open our hearts to our wallets so that we can lose ourselves for two hours.
Too bad this example does a such a textbook case at failing. The plucky band of heroes have almost no character development. The plot is needlessly long and convoluted and revolves around a death star. The action is badly directed and ultimately this is a story that doesn't matter much and didn't need to be told. Save your money and catch it cable.
