She didn't love it as much as she did the original Trilogy, but she liked it. She didn't have to watch the prequels, which would probably have made her more forgiving towards this one.

I thought it was pretty good. After watching it, I got to thinking about the EU, and the thing that sticks out to me is how well something like Republic Commando fits into this new Universe. It's a less-polished lived-in universe, and I want to see more of it.

I wish it had been longer. The pacing felt just right in some sections, but very rushed in others. I think another half hour would have done wonders for the movie.

My best-worst list of things Star Wars:

Republic Commando
Blur's Star Wars shorts
A New Hope (Despecialized)
The Force Awakens
Clone Wars (Tartakovsky)
Empire Strikes Back
Parts of Attack of the Clones (Jango Fett and the latter half)
Return of the Jedi
The Phantom Menace
Holiday Special
Attack of the Clones
Revenge of the Sith
