Quoted from 30FathomDave:I loved both, but I give the edge to TFA. The characters in TFA were more nuanced and memorable. As much as I enjoyed Rogue One (I'll happily buy it the day it hits blu-ray), I found several of the characters to be pretty surface-level. I couldn't tell you half of their names.
I don't think they made a big deal of learning their names since they all weren't around very long....
