Well I finally saw the film. Now I grew up on the story of the stolen Death Star Plans in the PC Game 'Star Wars: Dark Forces' with it's initial mission having Kyle Katarn steal the plans from an imperial base and blast his way out as part of Operation Skyhook. So when I heard the premise of Rogue One and how it telling a different tale I wasn't impressed.
So when I saw the film I still wasn't onboard with it. As a stand-alone film without any knowledge of the Expanded Universe I guess it would actually be a good film for novice Star Wars Fans.
So while I was still mildly entertained I wasn't really into it.
Until.
So Even despite this I still am not a big fan of the film overall.

Near the end when I saw Darth Vader himself in all his terrifying glory literally carving a bloody path through the Rebel Troopers trying desperately to hold him off until the plans could be passed on through the broken door, knowing they were toast. That was one scene that made me feel 'Darth Vader is SCARY!' and yet 'AWESOME!'.
