Thanks Adam... I've heard nothing but positive reviews on this release. In regards to character development, and fast-pace action movies, I think one simply has to keep an open mind and allow "your mind" to develop the characters, and not have the movie "hold your hand" through its journey. It would be nice to have a 3 hour movie for character development, but probably not.
Of course, I haven't seen Rogue One yet, so I'm probably just blowing hot air
I may have a different and updated opinion later...
