        Couldn’t disagree more. You’d miss out on such bangers as “Congratulations, you are being rescued. Please do not resist.”

          Fun fact; in the scene where K2SO slaps Cassian while pretending he’s a prisoner, Alan ad-libbed the “And there’s a fresh one…” line, and Diego Luna immediately cracked the fuck up during the take, but being a total pro he manages to (almost) hide it behind his hand while pretending he’s holding his face. Alan’s delivery was so good that they kept the take.

          Witty one liners are all well and good, but they don’t exactly make for a well paced or interesting story.

        Rogue One is how you do two acts of slow burn, followed by a third act that gives you payoff for your patience.

        The first season of Picard is exactly how not to do that.

          Slow burn is great when you have strong character writing and world building. These are things of which Rogue One has virtually none.
