I thought the worst part of Rogue One was that they spent a tremendous amount of 2+ hours just to try to explain away or excuse how easy the Death Star was to destroy.  The reason was apparent from the opening scene, but they felt it needed to be drawn out and explained/justified across nearly the entire story.  There was heavy re-writing/re-shooting for this film, and given how basic the storline was at the core it's easy to see why.  I'm intrugued to see how much different the original cut was.  Hopefully someone will put it out as a "director's cut" one day so we can compare the two.  I'm curious to know what was added to make it work better (the tie-ins, additional backstory, etc...)
