I prefer to call these "nods" than actual "fan service." Yes there are characters from A New Hope peppered throughout the movie but that feels more like an acknowledgment that these individuals existed within the sequence of events. It has structure issues and the well-noted reshoots are glaringly obvious, but I'm less bothered by what people call "fan service" in this film. Now that the Skywalker Saga is over, Solo was just okay, and The Mandalorian crushed it on Disney+ - I'm firmly in the camp that Rogue One was one of the best things to happen to Star Wars in the last few years. The 3-D release only strengthened that position. When I reviewed it for the advance digital release, the second time through was much better than that first time out. When I first saw it in theaters I liked it overall but it had issues with the notable reshoots and some of the constant fan service. I've had a bit of a back and forth over the last couple years about how I feel about Rogue One and its place inside the overarching saga that is the galaxy far, far away.
