Rogue One was leaps and bounds above the sequel trilogy but I would still say it’s not a great movie. Once it gets up to speed and the whole cast has been properly introduced, it’s fantastic, but it takes so much of the movie until it gets to that point. Even as a fan, the first half of the movie is a slog where the main character has very little agency or drive, and they’re basically just being brought along instead of driving the plot. It’s a movie that, in my opinion, starts poorly and ends amazingly.




I’ve had a pretty easy time getting along with people for most of my adult life, and I’ve learned to not take coworkers who are in a bad mood or always rude too seriously, so I can’t say I’ve had the experience of being actively disliked.
But I’ve always seen people as friends pretty fast and I’ve realized that a lot of my coworkers don’t see me the same way, which has made me realize that if I didn’t work in the same place of them, most of them would probably forget me pretty fast. I don’t really have a lot of friends who live nearby outside of work so it’s always kind of stung that my coworkers who I get along with great at work don’t really want to keep in touch at all outside of work. So I guess what I’ve learned is that I should expect that the people I like, respect, and even admire at work probably don’t see me the same way and that I shouldn’t expect friendships from coworkers.
