The McGuffin of ANH is the Death Star plans and R2 in a round about way. It's what drives the initial story. It goes from protecting the plans, rescuing the princess, and the destroying the deathstar.
Just as the McGuffin of The Force Awakens is the map to Luke. It's what sets the story in motion.

Just saw Rogue One.
People actually liked that movie?
I would ask your opinion, but we've already seen your opinions are wrong.
Stockholm, more densely populated than NYC - sturg
I have intelligent opinions that I can actually support with writing and filmmaking knowledge.
But, I envy you, to be honest. I wish I could be as easily entertained and invested as you. For instance, I wish I could watch an Adam Sandler movie and think, "this is great comedy." But, I can't. Oh well. Enjoy your Adam Sandler films, Zeets. And as you are laughing at your 15th fart joke in 2 hours, think of me, and remember how good you have it.
For someone with a filmmaking knowledge, your disdain for the Force Awakens makes no sense. But whatever, all talk no walk. Not shocked.

-Uninteresting characters
-Dramatic scenes that weren't earned
-Hokey dialogue and acting (worse than normal for SW)
-Forest Whitaker mailing it in. Seriously, an actor of his caliber should be embarrassed for that performance
-The person who wrote the "Don't choke on your own ambition" line should be shipped to Antarctica in a box
-A forced romance at the end between two characters with no chemistry.
-the editing was shoddy
-the pacing at the beginning was set to light speed
-someone forgot that the lights on Darth Vader's chest piece were supposed to be on
-who are these two asians and why do I give a ****?
-the empire trying to take out the girl on the satellite instead of the satellite itself. Tarkin had the right idea
-The action scenes were predictable and lacked wow factor. The Death Star scenes being an exception
-discount Admiral Ackbar
Other than that I enjoyed it.
