I would say it was almost better than ep 7. In a lot of ways it was. The characters were not as good but the story itself was better, perhaps because they barely had to write it. That being said the visuals, nods to rebels ect were much better done in Rouge One then EP 7. I consider myself a big fan, but not a crazy big fan but one thing that really bothers me about 7 is the fact the resistance does not use any capital ships and only attacks with x-wings. The battle scenes in Rouge one are far superior with mostly familiar ships or various classes in use.
The ending was great too but once you see Tarkin it's really not that much of a surprise but until then you don't realize how close in time this is to a new hope. One thing I wish the movie had was Thrawn though.
