Well that was a awesome movie. I cared more more about Jyn, Cassian, Bodhi, Chirrut, Baze and K2 than I did for any character in Force Awakens.
We need more Gareth Edwards films set in the Star Wars universe. His use of scale works so well in this universe - not that it doesn't work well in general.
Loved it.

His work really shows in that sequence where they were landing where it was dark and rainy. Most movies that would have just been too dark to see, but not the way he did it

Yes, I thought the same thing. So many directors in films and on TV do not know how to properly film dark scenes.

I don't know if the ending of this really fits in perfectly with a New Hope. I mean, it kinda ruins the whole pretense of the Tantive IV being on a diplomatic mission when it was just spotted fleeing from a battle.

That diplomatic mission portion is probably not canon any more

- So instead of sending a hologram of just himself, why didn't Galen also send the stupid Death Star plans? Or has this been covered already?

- It is rather odd that the Empire stores the plans on a disc pack the size of an old cassette recorder, while the Rebellion is able to condense it down to something Smaller than a floppy disc.

Welp, all the Dolby Cinema showings next week seem to be sold out, so I have no idea when I'm seeing this now.

I mean, I guess you could say Leia was bullshitting Vader...
LEIA
Lord Vader, I should have known.
Only you could be so bold. The

this, when they hear you've attacked
a diplomatic...
VADER
Don't play games with me, Your
Highness. You weren't on any mercy
mission this time. You passed directly
through a restricted system. Several
transmissions were beamed to this
ship by Rebel spies. I want to know
what happened to the plans they sent
you.
LEIA
I don't know what you're talking
about. I'm a member of the Imperial
Senate on a diplomatic mission to
Alderaan...
VADER
You're a part of the Rebel Alliance...
and a traitor. Take her away!
But that's a streeeeeetch.

Leia is simply bullshitting in that scene and both she and Vader know it.
That always was the case in that scene and rogue one doesn't change that. It enhances it if anything.
