I was underwhelemed..I mean it was a good movie...but I felt it finally answered a Star Wars question that I never was interested in asking
You mean the question, "how did they get the Death Star plans?"
Yeeeeaaaaah, true, nobody asked that in so many direct words, but...I think that the not asking that gave the intent of the film its strongest backbone, even better than the obvious new-gen retread story of Force Awakens. Which I liked, don't get me wrong.
I think that after the first three prequels, which were ostensibly good for visuals and universe expansion over the writing, this is the only joint that delivers on all cylinders, outside of the Genndy Tartakovsky Clone Wars animation series. As a stand alone, it works. As a direct bridge into New Hope, it feels satisfying, never cheap. We got to see new planets in new systems just spoken about in the previous canon and a seemingly final sendoff of a relic of the Old Republic of the Jedi. Which I would really like to see on the screen or series and not in video games. Lucas never should've blown his capital on more unneeded Clone Wars shit, IMO.
