Also, wuld every teenage female Star Wars character from now on always come naturally equipped with stupendous natural talent that allow them to out duel sith apprentice, lead covert missions to get the empire's most important secrets, or kill dozens of imperial storm troopers with one blaster shot, all without any significant prior training?
I know the overdid it with Rey in Episode 7, but does the heroine of Rogue One have such skills?
The trailers implies she is a misfit, picked off the street by the rebel alliance and entrusted with stealing the empire's deepest secret on a mission so important the only two good movies of the franchise had depended on it for 39 years. But in her favor the empire that can spread through the galaxy apparently did so without any creditable security or counter-intelligence services, and the dreaded storm troops are so well trained they never hit even by accident and obediently lie down on the ground when faced with a single blind man armed with a staff.

She's not just a random misfit, her father constructed the death star weapon...

I would normally say that I will wait to hear what the reviews and word-of-mouth have to say, but the last one has to be one of the most overrated films of all time(something like an 81 on metacritic) along with the last two Captain America movies. There's a slight chance that I'll watch it on video when it comes out, but I'll probably just wait until it's on HBO, if I even bother.
I'm sick of all of these fucking franchise movies, especially the Disney ones.

So far, I reserve my being sick of for all the fucking comic book movies.

Not going to. Episode 7 was a complete disappointment and I don't think episode 8 will be any different.

I consider those as examples of the aforementioned franchise movies since they're all taking place in the same universe and are connected, so yeah, I'm sick to death of them, too.
