Also, Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor were nice additions to the character cast, I'm also partial to Body Rook. K-2SO however,I'm unsure about because we don't see his type of droid at all in Episode IV and this is the immediate prequel to Episode IV, and the droid line is seen extensively throughout the movie, but that's just a minor and unimportant thing I noticed.

The continuity from The Clone Wars (Saw Gererra?) and Star Wars Rebels (General Syndulla and The Ghost) were also nice touches. I agree with you on a lot of things. I really liked how the film ended right at the beginning of A New Hope. I did like a lot of the characters - Chirrut Imwe and Baze Malbus were my favorite, really liked their friendship. K-2SO I also enjoyed, maybe even more than C-3PO and R2-D2. There is a bit of a plot hole as to the Imperial enforcer droids being in Rogue One but not A New Hope - I suppose an explanation for this could be that they were all wiped out during the Battle of Scarif because the only enforcer droids we see are K2 and the ones on Scarif. I did like the connections to the TV shows - Saw Gerrera is actually going to be in the first episode of Rebels when they return in January (The Ghosts of Geonosis) as a way to connect Rebels to Rogue One, and Filoni teased that a future storyline would show how Hera Syndulla becomes a general in the Rebel Alliance. Dave Filoni rarely disappoints, and I'm definitely looking forwards to seeing that story arc of Hera's. Also, we did see another Imperial Enforcer Droid on Jedha granted Jyn shot it, but we can assume any possible remaining ones on the moon were wiped out with the Death Star blast. Can't believe I forgot about that scene "Did you know that wasn't me?" "Of course"
