How good is the new Star Wars flick overall?

Awesome! A: Best Star Wars movie yet, Abrams and Co. found the right mix of action and story!
8 (14.3%)
B: Very, very good! Probaby not up there with the best of the series, but vastly better than any of 1/2/3, and mostly met our lofty expectations!
30 (53.6%)
C: Solid. Better than the 1/2/3 disasters, but missed on the story in some ways, not as good as 4/5/6 overall
11 (19.6%)
D: Uggh. Are we sure Lucas wasn't involved?
1 (1.8%)
F: I miss JarJar
6 (10.7%)

The Rogue callsign in ESB was translated as "Renegat" in German, i.e. a Germanified version of Renegade. So Renegat Eins would have been a weirder title than Rogue One.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Maybe Luke will maybe it to episode 9 after all...

Maybe maybe will maybe maybe maybe.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

I get the impression an island will figure in the movie.

Meh.

Yup. Didn't wow me at all either. Compared to the 1st teaser for the force awakens, which I must have played dozens of times in the 1st week it came out.

that's the difference between the first star wars since long and under new ownership and the third star wars in just as many years. But yeah, not much wow in the teaser.
