So, I finally saw Rogue 1.  It was very good movie IMO.

[SPOILER="Yep another spoiler alert"]1) I was pleasantly surprised that they let the raid participants die off.  It made the sacrifice real and shows the importance of the info that was lodged in R2D2.  That adds to A New Hope.  (Oh and for what it is worth, the title A New Hope gets a little more meaning with the "rebellions are built on hope" quote.)

2) Who were the Bothians?  Did I miss that?  Did they ever say?
 
3) Finally we see why the Jedi were effective peace keepers and why the Sith were feared enemies.  Watching Vader go through Rebel troops like a hot knife through butter was pretty freaking cool.  Up to now force users really haven't been all that impressive.  Blah, blah, blah... force lightning, quick reflexes, jumping ability, Jedi mind trick... yawn.  Vader was the real deal swatting those guys like flies!  [/SPOILER] I enjoyed it.  Kudos to Disney for not just letting the franchise be a marketing opportunity for kids' toys (yeah, I'm looking at you Ewoks.)
