Dude, Rogue One is SOOO good. Light years beyond the prequels and sequels. I like it better than Return of the Jedi. Jedi has so much silliness and kid stuff that's nowhere present in R1. R1's darkness feels like Empire.
You won't be sorry.
I would just say that if someone loves the OT and just wants more of that then R1 isn't going to make them happy. Honestly TFA is as close as you're going to get to "more OT but make it fresh". R1 is more like Star Wars through a completely different lens. Also digital Tarkin sucked. Had they just hired Charles Dance, the Tarkin scenes would've been 1000% better. That was as big a miss as not hiring Haley Joel Osmet for TPM.
But if someone loves the Start Wars universe and just wants more interesting things within it, then R1 is the juice. It's recognizably Star Wars without being too familiar or a rehash of what has been done before.
Your opinion.
I wasn't aware that was a remotely controversial opinion. I've never heard it described as more than adequate at best.
Not controversial, just garden variety fanboy bitching, and tiresome.
