If you missed some of the cameos, here you go.

The entire end of the movie was re-shot. Hell, a lot of the trailers kept scenes that ended up not making it into the movie in the end. To that effect, I still think the execution of the Theft of the Plans of the Death Star was done much better in Rogue One than in the Expanded Universe.

They played up Saw Gerrera so much though. One of the two flaws I had with the movie. Saw Gerrera and the pacing of the first third of the movie.

A lot of people are complaining about how it didn't feel like a Star Wars movie but I think that Rogue One didn't need to take on that 'feel'. The desperation reflected in the war movie it is in the latter part is great.

CHIRRUT. AND BAZE. The two Chinese actors' characters whose names I did not know. Are they a bromance? Or a romance. In the end, they died. They are one with the Force and the Force is with them. Also? jesus, Thank you that there was no Kiss between Jyn and Cassian. THANK YOU

All in all, I really enjoyed it. I want to watch it in Dolby cinema now.

Plenty of Clone Wars/Rebels references in Rogue One as well (the Ghost appears a few times in space and on Yavin, so does Chopper and the intercom calling out General Syndulla). Most don't really know Saw was in Clone Wars during the Onderon rebellion arc. And he's reappearing in Rebels season 3.

To those complaining that it doesn't feel like a Star Wars movie, the makers knew that full well going in since it's a war movie that takes place in the Star Wars universe. These origin movies aren't supposed to have the same feeling as the trilogies, it gives more freedom to the makers. I'm just glad that even though it was gritty there was no swearing (ass/piss/fuck/etc), that would have just took me out of the immersion.

Chirrut and Baze? "Open to interpretation" as the director says. Incoming more Snoke theories, "They're guardians of the Whills, a Shaman of the Whills/Five Priestesses from Clone Wars are immortal and trained Qui-Gon to become a Force ghost. What if Snoke is one of them? What if Snoke is that messenger in Darth Vader's castle? (though they confirmed his identity anyway, it's not Snoke)
