It is a really good film. While I don't like how the protagonist was written in what you don't know who she is and what ideals does she have, the movie itself is a brilliant elaboration on the Star Wars universe. Not so much to tear apart but to rebuild and reinforce everything that makes the Rebellion Era idealistic and hopeful.

It IS a dark time. The Empire has purged the Jedi, the galaxy has all but lost hope, and the only people willing to rebel are morally dubious. The AT-ATs and AT-STs are all terrifying to look at from underneath, knowing they are the boot of the empire stomping on the weak.

But just as well, it makes the heroes there flawed and human, making their heroism shine all the brighter since they all want to restore the ideals of liberty and democracy over a tyrannical Empire. After the sacrifices, horrors, and suffering all of these flawed heroes went through, they throw a light into the future, allowing Luke and company to destroy the Death Star, giving the torch to them to carry on the fight.

I especially love the scene of the discussion of the heads of the rebellion for both the flaws of a republic being explored, and for showing how deeply diverse the Rebellion is and the reason it still is a Republic, for all its flaws.

But it isn't really a good film, per se? It's weirdly choppy in places, the pacing is off, it really shows that they've redone it a couple of times, and it's mostly saved by its excellent ending...? I mean, I agree with you on teh content, but it's not terribly good filmmaking, and that's why I don't really like rewatching it. I get bored.

Some people watch movies only for the content, not the filmmaking technique. Both are completely valid.
