The blind fanboy guardian of the monk temple was the best character. He was at least something new to this franchise. The droid was C-3PO as a combat model, which was interesting but nothing about tin can or what it did was as memorable as \"Let them pass in peace.\", just one line from the best character in this film.
And this is coming from a Transformers fan, someone who is predisposed to like robots more than human characters.
That's why he wants you to have the money. Not so you can buy 14 Cadillacs but so you can help build up the wastes

Honestly that's kind of a weak argument. As far as I know, most good characters CAN be summarized in only a few words, what matters is if there is more to them in the actual story. Or alternatively if they still manage to be likable.

I Dont Care About Any Of These Characters
To start with, Rouge One is not a bad film. Any problems it has (and it has them,) don't lie in the production values or the directing or even the acting. (Most of it anyway.) The action's perfectly OK, and while the plot isn't exactly gripping, it's still perfectly serviceable.
No, the problem with this movie are the characters. In that they don't have any character. Most of the characters in this film could be boiled down to a single sentence; the moody rebel, the jaded young girl who has a change of heart, the blind priest, etc. They don't have much dimension or depth and thus aren't very interesting, nor are they likeable enough to counteract that. The best character of the movie was the droid, and even he still wasn't a knockout. Now, I'm not saying the cast of the OT was exactly Shakespearean, but they all still had something to them. Even Luke, who to me is as interesting as wet cardboard, was still a sight better than Rouge One's motley crew.
Now to be fair, as I've said, the actors are just fine. It's the characters they're portraying that aren't. And without a solid cast of characters to keep me engaged, and without anything else to truly make up for that, what we have here is 2 hours of my life that I'm not getting back. Which is a shame, because with a much better written cast of characters, this could have been a good, maybe even a great movie. But as is, it's simply So Okay, It's Average. Which is the worst kind of movie there is.
