An enjoyable romp, though I still have zero idea how movies generate fandoms. Below, my first thoughts after seeing the film, unspoiled:
Good: apparently people of Asian descent exist in space!
Bad: apparently women don’t.
My personal thoughts on casting: Bodhi the pilot should’ve been a woman or at least looked significantly different from Cassian Andor, since I couldn’t tell them apart at all. Chiruit Îmwe was a character concept which was interesting, though I’d have liked for his companion-protector to be a woman, too. K-numbers was annoying, and very obviously Token Comic Relief.
( spoilers )
A nice waste of time, like the best movies are. The Imperial uniforms were nice to look at, especially Krennic's white cape uniform. Zero shippy feels.
