I really enjoyed it. A very refreshing addition to the franchise that added a bit more beef to the Star Wars universe. Invoked just enough material from the main series without overstepping its bounds or becoming ridiculous. Plot-wise, I actually far preferred this to the outlandish Starkiller Base narrative.
Some of the action sequences in this movie were phenomenal. The "ship cam" footage from the X-Wings battling in space just above a tropical planet was total eye candy.
Also, I loved Mendelsohn as the Imperial flunky du jour. He puts Hux to shame if you ask me.
