As an aside what's people's thoughts on 3d I'm not overly keen myself.

Saw it on Thursday night, absolutely loved it. It hit the mark perfectly IMHO, considering it was introducing whole new characters to the series and still needed to link in to episode four, I thought they did it superbly.
The action sequences were really good and the second half of the movie was incredible.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

Was it better than the Phantom Menace? Because I thought that was amazing, as good as A New Hope (although possibly not as good as The Empire Strikes Back).

Mr Plinkett's Youtube prequel reviews are more entertaining than episodes 1-3 imo.
Check them out. They're a hoot.

Personally think rogue 1 could be the best yet quality casting and an amazing ending.

Superb film.
The only thing I didn't like was the computer generated 'Peter Cushing'

I can't wait to see it.
The first 3 were generally panned but episode 3 was my favourite of the whole series. It was very dark, and I loved the way you got to see all the pieces falling into place which basically left you at the start of A New Hope. As a kid I watched and watched and watched that film so I was very familiar with it so it was really interesting (for me) whilst knowing basically how it ended, seeing how it all came to pass.
I liked Force Awakens and even without having seen the new film I really like what they're doing with the new films.

I'm a big massive Star Wars fan and went to see it last night...and thought it was alright. Just alright.
Well acted, great dialogue, amazing effects. But the story was quite confusing at first, I was starting to lose count of the planets they were on! My two kids who loved The Force Awakens thought the same.
Might go and see it again, mind.

It's decent, nothing more than that, the effects for Tarkin and a few others I won't mention were OTT and weren't done that we'll in my opinion, should have just used stand ins with camera angles or used them more sparingly

Not long back and really enjoyed that film. The battle scenes towards the end were excellent and the CGI, especially on Peter Cushing I thought was really well done. Already looking forward to Episode VIII next year.

Looks like I'm in the minority but I thought it was just ok.
SPOILERS AHEAD!
The opening half hour jumped about a lot which is understandable with so many new characters to introduce. I'm not convinced many of them landed properly though - Saw Gerrera for example or the pilot, their motives were a bit under cooked.
I like the fact it explores that not everyone in the Empire is evil and every Rebel a hero. The bleakness overall is certainly interesting for Star Wars and maybe gets kids thinking differently. But it does also make me personally less inclined to revisit this and watch multiple times.
There are a few interesting pieces online which look back on some of the Rogue One trailers and there's a lot of material which doesn't make the final cut. I think that shows they weren't entirely sure of the story they wanted to tell. Whilst the final version is good, still feels a bit of a missed opportunity to me.
Having said that I loved the Vader and Tarkin scenes. Also the red/gold leaders from Episode IV and the way it linked directly to that films opening. Jedi inspired Zatoichi was also a great new character
I would imagine we will see a title and trailer for Episode VIII early in the new year so not long for our next Star Wars fix!

I loved it. First 20 minutes I felt it jumped about too much but suppose they were just setting the scene. After that it was just brilliant and the scenes in that planet with the water/beaches (can't remember what it was called) were amazing.
Got to admit when they announced new Star Wars films I thought it would ruin it but I couldn't be more wrong. The Force Awakens and Rogue One have been class, can't wait for the next ones.

Just saw it today having somehow managing to avoid all spoilers.
Loved it from start to finish. The last 10 minutes were just great though. Vader showing how he's one of the all time great villains.
Would have rather the CGI characters were less utilised, anyone see a resemblance between Tarkin and Snoke?

I went to see it a few nights ago and mistakenly thought it was part of the new trilogy. I spent the first part of the film wondering why there were so many changes of scenery and new characters and I was convinced that the captured pilot was Poe. Even when I learned it wasn't him I was still expecting the young team from the previous movie to come in at some point and make it tie in. Even after them talking about the Death Star and all the characters being done away with it never actually made sense until about ten minutes after I saw the final scene.
Knowing what I know now, it's an excellent stand alone film and even though the characters are disposable, you connect enough with all of them to make their fate matter to you. Links perfectly with the film it's supposed to.
The rebels aren't half a complex beast now with all their splinter groups and cold blooded killers. The historical references are all part of the fun though.

This and Force awakens makes the 3 prequels even worse now. A case of what you could have had!
