Thank you both for your consideration, I don't really eat sandwiches much but when I do I cut them into triangles.

tl;dr: this site has attempted to calculate where the north/south divide is by putting everywhere that has <25,000 people per greggs in the north and >25000 in the south, and their line almost exactly matches the north/south line that those researchers at the university of sheffield came up with

I enjoyed all the shooty lasers and silly named planets when I saw it in the cinema. I thought there was some interest in the portrayal of the rebellion as a bunch of disparate groups, but overall the characters didn't really do anything for me and then they all died. The constant clumsy references to much better movies were a hugely distracting element that culminated in an ending sequence that makes Star Trek: Into Darkness look subtle.
Overall as a starwars fan I enjoyed being immersed in that universe for a little bit, but that's all it offered and it didn't do that particularly well.

thank you for reading my Rogue One review.

On sandwich talk, I can mostly stomach any old poo poo so I'm not really fussed. Or so I thought.

A year later I was driving through spain to Gibraltar in a rubbish car with no aircon stopping only for fuel because I had miscalculated and so was in a hurry. This meant buying petrol station sandwiches. Spain is really interesting and there is a lot to say about it but the petrol stations are just like generic ones on the outskirts of leeds but in nowhere Arizona and the mexicans forced to staff it don't speak any english.

I flicked through the sandwiches on the rack as if they were LPs at my local independent record store. A casual air about me.

I was disappointed in myself for being so, i dunno, culturally poo poo, so upon seeing the mediterranean sandwich I thought yeah, maybe when I pay for my petrol this teenager will respect me for my locally sourced sandwich (spain is next to the mediterranean). I also had images of like I dunno vinyards and oranges, dancing horses and spicy sausages.

Turns out though the mediterranean is primarily understood as being a sea so it was a bunch of seafood in a diagonal brown bread sandwich, bought hundreds of miles from the sea in a desert petrol station. One bite and chucked it.

There's an hour left and my verdict so far is okay I guess

The rebels are useless at best and mystical blind ninja man and his friend with the best gun in the universe are bad characters. The Vader and tarkin scenes are really bad. The action stuff is fun though.
