Eh? There's tons more development in A New Hope. I don't really like using examples from RedLetterMedia, but Plinkett's comparison of action scenes has merit. You learn a lot about the characters in A New Hope from just a few lines and actions. Even in Force Awakens we learn so much about Rey in her first twenty minutes, and she barely has any dialogue in her introduction (of course part of that is entirely on the shoulders of Daisy Ridley, who is brilliant). But I also realize Rouge One is an entirely different movie, and my preference for more fleshed out character development is personal.
I guess I just wanted to see more of Jyn's life between her rescue and imprisonment. I felt like there was a really good story there. I wanted to be more invested in her. But there's always the novelization for that, I suppose. It's even written by a former Bioware writer!
Side note: Even though CGI Leia looked... hokey, I still immediately burst into tears upon seeing her. lmao
