I think R1 is tied with TLJ as far as technical competency (directing, cinematography, acting etc), but R1 is the best STAR WARS film we've gotten in awhile. It actually works within the setting and respects internal consistency, which is more then can be said for its competitors.

He's right tbh, the problem is that the Tantive IV crew try to pass themselves off to Vader as a mere consular vessel despite being chased from Scarif. Either they were incredibly forgetful or actually thought Vader was that stupid. But nonetheless R1 is easily better than the ST so far.

Rogue Ome was the type of film we needed. It's opened the doors to other anthologies and while the first two acts of the film weren't perfect the third act was better than TFA and TLJ combined.

rogue one was enjoyable but it wasn't really a good film. The acting was mostly sup-par as well as the line delivery. There was also some truly awful moments of dialogue(cough vader cough).
TLJ didn't have as cool of a space fight scene, but it had far better acting performances, dialogue, and a deeper and more meaningful story.
The Yoda scene alone offered more than the entirety of Rogue One did.
