Anyone want to talk about it?
Felicity Jones is the least aurally offensive of the shrill British chicks infiltrating all the genre movies and shows. I'd much rather listen to her than Emilia Clarke, Daisy Ridley, Gwendolyn Christie or Emma Watson any day, and her character was not a walking bag of obnoxious feminist tropes (I like that they cut the unutterably stupid "This is a rebellion...I rebel" line that appeared in the trailers)
I also thought they got the call-backs or allusions to the other movies just right. I counted a literal dozen characters who had appeared in other Star Wars films, but they never took it over from the actual protagonists, nor did the new characters subvert the heroes of the other movies.
I also liked the explanation for why the Rogue One crew were not seen participating in the other battles of the original trilogy.
