[QUOTE="Imaculata, post: 6987223, member: 6801286"] This was one of my biggest issues with the film. There are very few actual 'scenes' with the characters, where they talk to each other, and build them up. And it left them rather flat, and failed to make me care about them. The only character that got any development was Jyn, and all we got for her was a bare bones back story that was pretty cliche, even by Star Wars standards. But we didn't get any scenes with her to make us like her, or to explain who she is. What I feel she needed, was a scene like Han Solo got in the Cantina. A scene where we see her talk to other characters, and see her do something that defines her character. Likewise for the other characters. It also didn't help that almost all of the humor was given to KT-SO, leaving the other characters very humorless. Compare this with a movie like Serenity, where even if you haven't seen the show Firefly, you are given enough scenes with each character to understand them. They all have a few funny lines, and scenes that define their character. They have scenes where they interact with each other. In Rogue One, it felt like they wanted to move as quickly as possible from one action scene to the next, leaving no room for character development. Without character development, the movie has no heart, and doesn't make me care about anything that happens. [/QUOTE]
