Rogue one is a great 40 minute short film that starts as soon as they get to the planet that actually has the Death Star plans. The hour and a half before that? Completely worthless.
Fun fact; in the scene where K2SO slaps Cassian while pretending he’s a prisoner, Alan ad-libbed the “And there’s a fresh one…” line, and Diego Luna immediately cracked the fuck up during the take, but being a total pro he manages to (almost) hide it behind his hand while pretending he’s holding his face. Alan’s delivery was so good that they kept the take.

Couldn’t disagree more. You’d miss out on such bangers as “Congratulations, you are being rescued. Please do not resist.”

Funny, i really thought the movie fell apart towards the end
Rogue One is how you do two acts of slow burn, followed by a third act that gives you payoff for your patience.
The first season of Picard is exactly how not to do that.
