Yeah the good guy wins in 99.9% of all movies. But that's not a bad thing.

I think one of the reasons I liked Rogue One was that it's "win condition" wasn't "every one lived happily ever after". although I will say, if you have enough time to find a beach and make out, you probably have enough tome to find a shuttle, or something.

(the other reason I liked Rogue One was Alan Tudyk as K2-S0)(okay, actually, that's why I loved Rogue One. Sue me.)

It's good to have one movie be different, but if every movie was like that, it would be boring and depressing.

so all the other movies where all the action follows a set pattern... are not boring and depressing?

Boring movies are boring.

Most people prefer their stories generally ending on a positive note, and then once in a while go for a darker one, if they're in the mood for it. And yes sometimes we need one of these.

But every movie being a heroic sacrifice or a downer ending, even if they're good, would be depressing. And then it would start losing power quick, too.

Look at the marvel movies. Boring. Formulaic. Not even worth watching the trailer.
