We also got tripped up by Organa's line. That explanation makes perfect sense. Since Organa knew of Leia's origins and her biological father's proclivity for the Force, I was reading too much into that line.
It was a pretty well done film. I'd rate it clearly above TFA, and many miles above Episodes I-III.
The fan service laid it on a bit heavy at times, with Jyn bumping into Mr. "watch yourself!" (from the Cantina in Episode IV), the fairly unnecessary C-3PO/R2-D2 cameo, etc. etc. I don't even know how necessary Vader's scenes were, but — even the slimmest excuse to put him on screen is worth it.
We saw the film late last week after Carrie Fisher passed away, and I somehow never caught the spoiler that CGI Leia is in this film, so the final scene kind of killed me.
The soundtrack was pretty meh. Apparently they had to change composers mid-stream and it's apparent to the ear. We saw it on IMAX 3D at Lincoln Center, and while the big screen and sound system made for an immersive experience, the 3D didn't do a lot for me.
