When even the paid out media shill critics are saying Rogue One isn't great, it's a sign its probably pretty lacklustre.

@nerthos Honestly even the ones done by actors who had no training at all in the original series were better than TFA's melee fight scenes. It was extremely poorly choreographed, and the lightsabers suddenly got a lot less lethal to make up for that fact to try to give it a sense of danger, which actually ended up robbing it of said.
