I finally saw it last weekend.
Honestly, it could have been better
More explosions than plot in my opinion.
BUT: YAYA! I Jade is not the only blind force user!!!!

Somewhere in the grey area.
Just saw it for the second time today.

Love that one. Ben Mendelsohn is so Australian.

Doing my best to avoid spoilers, that last scene was exquisite. It on its own was worth the admission fee, in my opinion.
On the way to the $1bn club?
'Rogue One' passes $900m worldwide and becomes the 2nd highest grossing Star Wars movie behind 'TFA'.

I watched Rouge One, and honestly, I did not like it.. but I loved it.
I hated it, but I loved it. It's that weird feeling inside of your gut when you just see it, and then see it again.
Honestly, I felt the story was a bit hard to keep up due to the pacing, and the fact that the characters did felt kind of flat. I did love Jyn. She was a really good character in my honest opinion.
But still... I felt they could of done a bit more. Krinnic was a bit of a crappy villain.

Any deleted scenes mentioned?

[member="Valiens Nantaris"] For some reason...no deleted scenes on the release.
Which is really odd. There was so much missing, it's a crime they ain't showing us.
Unless they're ready for the NEW Ultimate Edition Release in a few months before 'The Last Jedi'.

Character
Gareth Edwards has confirmed that the final act involved them taking the plans from the archive tower to the comms tower. It was too long so had to be condensed and all the footage of Jyn and Cassian fighting across the beaches cut.
It's a shame as that was cinematically an exciting looking sequence. However, things did blend really well and I give them credit for making the ending tight and without lacking pace.
The proposed ending for 'Rogue One' was going to be a lot happier....

Character
I was wondering why all the toys said "Sergeant Jyn Erso"
Looking at all the news recently it seems they were running off the script where she was already a member of the Rebel Alliance (apparently they were going to go with kicking off the film at Eadu and ending with the 'hero ship' being blown up as it transmitted plans to the blockade runner) close enough to the start date that the toys were already in production.
As more comes out about this it seems insane how quickly they made the film from a very unfocused plan for the plot/screen play. Especially given how good the final product was. Apparently ILM were forced to do mot of the rendering in october and november before the film came out. Mad!
