There was a lot of unforgivable rubbish.
I didn't understand the low speed chase bit. Yeah yeah big capital ships are slow blah blah can't lightspace closer because reasons blah blah
At least we found out what the guys wearing the red shit are supposed to do, although quite why they thought getting killed was a good idea.
Loads up Rogue One
At least everyone dies.

Yeah, slow chases don't really make for great cinematic drama, regardless of importance to the 'plot'.
At least everyone dies.
At least Rogue One gifted its audience the maturity to deal with central characters' death, rather than the flying back from the dead/go straight to medical pod. And what glorious deaths they were, none of this collapsing into their robes nonsense.

Where to start?
Flying Leia (discussed many times earlier) - An ideal time to write out her character (given tragic real world circumstances), plus it complete the Empire/First Order/whatevs' blood letting of the Kylo Ren bloodline. Given that even full-blown Jedi cumple in a robey heap the second they come near a lightsabre, surviving then floating through space (albeit a little bit frostbitten), is pushing it a bit, even for SW
Swarovski dogs. Apart from their function in highlighting the escape route from the Rebel Base (#2), served no purpose other than show up ILM/Disney's medicore SFX that looked like they belonged in some gash low-rate fantasy movie.
Rose Tico's intervention in Finn's not-so-ultimate-sacrifice - Did I fall asleep where their love story developed to the point where she just had to prevent him killing himself in order to actually save everyone else. Selfish bitch. And what was the point of releasing all those animals?
Benicio del toro's character - don't even remember/care what his name was. Soon turned over on Finn and Rose, but why not include the scene where he's actually persuaded to betray them? Explain that shit! Let's see something about greed and the human condition.
Porgs- fuck off straight to the toy shops.
Ja Ja Binks could've showed up (unlikely) and I wouldn't have batted an eyelid.
Oh, and fuck right off with those intergalactic 1st-person phone calls, you haven't done it yet, so how can you do it now?
Other than that, yeah great film.
