Disappointing new characters

Rating: 8/10 (10 April 2020)

Had quite a good cast of characters in this, Darth Vader was the best character but unfortunately he didn't get a lot of screen time. New characters were lacking, the droid had some funny lines but other than that it was a pretty useless character. Cassian had some interesting backstory but it was very underdeveloped and seemed to lack much personality and uniqueness. Jyn was a bit interesting, but not much. The action scenes and special effects were brilliant but I disliked there wasn't any lightsaber duels, though the Vader scene at the end made up for that a bit. Some of the space battles were entertaining. It was nice to see Mustafar again.
The characters overall were too fresh, they only had one film to get the viewer to know their character and for such a huge franchise like Star Wars having the main characters as new characters with hardly any personality is very disappointing. They should've at least made the major new characters relatable to previous well established Star Wars characters, the lack of interesting new characters is the main reason I can't give this film a 9/10.
