I was so caught off guard when i was watching this in theatres. I was for sure they'd make it out somehow. And then BOOM.. I sat heartbroken for a long time after the credits started to roll. Man this movie got so much hate at the time. I and many of the audience however, loved it.
34:01 stormtroopers aren’t clones. We see in the bad batch show that clones start defecting from the empire after their inhibitor chips wear off and realise they’re disposable. The Empire transitions to stormtroopers (human conscripts)
@@Yo42169It was never clearly explained until Rebels (in TV/movie media), that the Stormtroopers weren't clones. Even though it was explained in comics, games, and other forms of media. But yea the casual Bad Batch spoilers are kinda :\ I should add that OG fans didn't assume they were clones in the first place, while those who watch 1, 2, and 3 before or with the other trilogy, assume they are clones usually. Just something I've noticed.

The cost of The Death Star was calculated at about 850 quadrillion dollars, that's equal to about 13.000 times the domestic product of the entirety of Earth, for reference. It likely needed at least one quadrillion tons of steel, about 830.000 years worth of earht's current yearly steel output. It took the empire about 20 years to build and was powered by huge lightsabercrystals(kybercrystals). They had wookies in massive slave camps for years and the acquiring of the minerals destroyed the surface of entire moons. And if the empire had had a slight sense of intelligence they would have just used the minerals and money to create star destroyers, which they could have made about 6000 of, or even 1000 super star destroyers, which would have easily secured them galactic dominance for millennia.
Yeah, I quite like how stupid the Death Star really is. It’s kinda like hitler wasting everyone’s time trying to build the world’s biggest cannon or whatever. Fascism is incompetent, they love to do huge big super buildings/weapons that sound impressive with no care for efficiency. It’s all show, no thoughts.
@@valbuns They should BUT Palpatine interested with Death Star projects than Tie Defender projects, which is Thrawn was right in Rebels talking to Tarkin: “Building that thing is wasted potential” and we also knew Vader was right.
You have to realize that "The Force" itself to non force wilders is essentially a god so when people say "May the Force be with you" they're basically saying "May God be with you"

love that Don had such an issue with Cassian who didn’t shoot her dad when he adores Anakin who murdered many many many children and then many many many others 😂
According to Star Wars reference books, the population of the Death Star was 1.7 million military personnel, 400,000 maintenance droids, and 250,000 civilians, associated contractors and catering staff.
Cassian shot the guy because he had a loose mouth. He was too dangerous to be left alive. Just shows how powerful the Death Star was, the fact that a single reactor ignition was that powerful. "There's no horizon". Best line in the movie. 🤣🤣 Anyone that criticizes "be careful not to choke on your aspirations, Director" don't understand who Anakin, and Vader is/are. He's notorious for sass and brutal sarcasm. The irony. Krennic, on the tower, was the first to be killed by the Death Star on Scarif, the very thing he was responsible for. They had to fire at an angle because they didn't want to take time to fire directly over the base. They just wanted to fire as fast as possible. That end scene though.
Fun fact, but the door was not stuck. It’s implied Vader were using the force to hold it shut at the end there while he slaughtered them all in the hallway. It’s also why the door only opened once he reached it and needed it to open.
Fun fact: one of the rebels in the hallway is played by Matt Lantur the same actor that plays Anakin Skywalker in the clone war animated movie and TV show
Not just that, but I heard that the voice that yelled 'Open Fire!" was Sam Witwer, the voice actor for animated Darth Maul--oh and the little Rebel who pulls the switch to launch the Tantive IV is Gareth Edwards, in a little cameo.
In the rebel attack to Scarif, the red five pilot unfortunately died. And the rebellion chose later a new red five pilot... Luke Skywalker as we saw in episode IV and the rest.
Not sure if you remember... In star wars: a new hope, they said in the briefing of the attack of the death star, They said many people died to give us this information, talking about the death star plans.. This is where that movies ties into it, all those people that died in this movie was the reason they got it because of what they did.
Also, Kyber Crystals are what they use to power lightsabers in Star Wars. Each having their own unique colors. Blue, Green, Red, Purple. Plus, the Empire was searching for them to power the Death Star. If you remember the beam that the death star shot it was powered by the Kyber Crystals.
You are correct, except Kyber crystals are never, naturally, red, they have to go through a process called "being bleed." Long story short the Sith has to pour his hate into the crystal which corrupts it and turns it red.
@eddieboncek2447 ah! That part I missed. But thanks for informing me. I didn't know the sith had to do that for the color to change to red. Maybe I missed that bit of information through the entire Star Wars history. 👍🏽
its so weird but this movie makes me feel so many emotions, the scene of Jyn watching Galen's hologram dissecting the death star, the acting was absolutely stellar from the girl playing Jyn, the scene of the blind warrior saying "im one with the force" as hes going through blasterfire, and then, Darth Vader's infamous hallway scene, which imo is the greatest scene in Star Wars and perfectly emulates the tone of how much of the underdog the rebels were. All scenes made me cry in the theatre 8 years ago.
You GOTTA watch Andor. It’s a brilliant show that’s connected mainly with Rogue one, but the pacing and character development is way better in my opinion, because unlike with Rogue one, they had the time to fully explore their vision
7:20 "What happened to don't shoot the messenger?" If you don't shoot the messenger, the Empire will torture the messenger for any information he has on the Rebellion, learning about the defector pilot and how much he knew about the Death Star. Then they would have shot him.
I was lucky enough to see this one in the cinema when it came out. I love this one so much, showed how much potential there is doing one-off stories within SW universe. And then Disney took it personally as a challenge and decided to mess the whole franchise altogether 😢
btw stormtroopers arent clones the clones were abandoned a few yrs after ep3. stormtroopers r conscripted people and people who signed up. some stormtroopers r also people who the empire kidnapped as babies and raised as soldiers
@@andymiller6661 bro not the movies the bad batch shows the clones all being abandoned and imprisoned and i believe in force awakens or summat finn talks about how he was taken as a kid or summat like that or maybe it was in the books
@jbomber4416 I don't care about that. I b specifically asked where it's stated in the movies, not in Star Wars. Yeah, but that's for the First Order. In the same movie, Kylo said they should have stuck with clones, which implies that the Empire used clones as stormtroopers.
Also, fun fact, Vader was actually the one who orchestrated the downfall of the Death Star. In the Vader comics, Sidious and Tarkin tried to keep Project Stardust a secret from Vader, but he went detective mode and followed the trail back to Galen Erso, and while investigating Galen, he found out about how the Empire was secretly harvesting a shit load of Kyber. And, being an engineering genius, Vader deduced that the only reason they would need that much was for some sort of massive laser. Now, it's important to note that, at the time, Galen thought the Kyber was just a power source for a massive space station, he didnt know it was a super weapon in the beginning. So, Vader confronted Tarkin about it and and Tarkin started bragging about how after the Death Star was completed, the most powerful force in the universe would no longer be Vader or the Force, it would be the super weapon of the Empire. And Vader absolutely hated the idea of some blasphemous technology eclipsing the power of the Force, so he sent an unmarked droid to Galen's home, the droid found Galen's wife and told her that a benefactor wished to inform them of the true nature of Project Stardust and after telling Galen's wife what the space station was really meant to become, the droid self destructed. Galen's wife told him what the droid had said, and Galen attempted to leave the project since he was essential to it, which is what we see in the flashbacks of this movie. And then when he was hunted down and forced to return, he decided to do the next best thing, make sure the Death Star would have a fatal flaw. Not only does it add a really cool layer to this whole thing, but it also helps to retcon/explain why Vader doesnt really seem to try that hard to retrieve the plans or stop the Rebels during A New Hope. Especially given how easily he outsmarted them and whooped them in Empire Strikes Back. There are actually lots of cool things like this where Sidious and the Empire try to supplant the Force or supercede its power with technology and pretty much every single time, Vader shows up and destroys whatever new thing they were working on because he believes so strongly in the strength and purity of the Force.
29:25 wait.... i thought comunication in hyperspace is not possible 0_o edit: 53:30 an Imperial I-class Star Destroyers had over 37,000 crew on board- 9,235 officers and 27,850 enlisted personnel. The complement of 9,700 stormtroopers added to a total of 46,785 crew and passengers. thats just one of those 2 destroyers
Seeing Leia at the end in the cinema really hit the feels just a few days after the actress (Carrie Fisher) died. RIP and may the force be with you, always.
@@lukescrew1981 lol are you kidding? The final 4 episodes of season 7 clone wars is some of the best starwars we have ever seen.. plus all of tales of the Jedi is fantastic.. and season 3 of badbatch is arguably on pace to be the best starwars season out of any of the shows.. and how tf is season 2 of mando bad? Are you one of the clowns that think just because they had a little bit of “fan service” it makes the show bad? I like andor and it has fantastic cinematography and writing but give me a break lmao
The actor who did K2SO was also hilarious on Firefly. If you somehow haven’t watched that, it’s a popular show for reactors, has a dedicated following, and it’s not too long: 14 episodes and a movie. Pretty sure you’d like it by the end of episode 2 if not right away.
As something approaches the speed of light, time does indeed move slower for it in relation to the rest of the universe. Theoretically, if it WERE possible for something with mass to reach the speed of light, time (from its perspective) may even freeze entirely. For example, if you were to put an atomic clock (basically just an extremely accurate clock) on a spaceship and send it 100 light years away, the clock would (theoretically) read the exact same time on arrival that it did the moment it hit light speed. What's crazier is that exceeding the speed of light may even reverse the flow of time. That being said, everything we know of physics tells us that nothing with mass can ever reach the speed of light. Source: Astrophysics major Also, the faster-than-light travel they use in Star Wars is actually just entering a sort of alternate dimension where distances between objects/planets are much shorter, so all this time dilation fuckery doesn't apply in this case.
For the first time we saw Vader fully unleashed in live action. Because of limitations back in the original trilogy they were never able to convey how powerful he really is. Not anymore. You have no idea how much people cheered when he pulled up in the final scene in theaters.
The blind badass, Chirrut, is played by Donnie Yen, who is an incredible martial artist and talented actor. If you wanna see more of him in action and in a leading role, check out the Ip Man movies. They're about the life of the man who trained Bruce Lee.
34:03 stormtroopers are not clones!! The empire discontinues the clone trooper program, stromtroopers are normal people taken from homes or who volunteered etc.
The stormtroopers are humans and the clone troopers are clones if you watch the bad batch you will see that they don’t want to use the clones anymore and bring humans instead.
I love how saw gerra appeared in many Star Wars things even a game and shows he is more aggressive leader then the actual rebel alliance good character tho
storm troopers aren't clones, during the turn from the galactic republic into the galactic empire, the empire started phasing out clones due to a lot of them being disloyal and also their rapid aging. all stormtroopers are human/other humanoid races, that either willingly signed up or were conscripted at a young age.
13:30 it would cost $100 quintillion dollars to Build just one realistically speaking and to keep it functioning it will cost even more. 28:19 traveling at the speed of light slows time down for you but everyone else's time remains the same and they age the same but you will age slower.
Realisticly speaking, the Death Star would take more metal to build then we could mine from the entire planet. So, it is literaly beyond cost for us to build.
“If you travel at the speed of light, does time slow down?” Literally on the level of thinking of Albert Einstein. His work in his “Theory of Special Relativity” spawned the theory of “Time Dilation”. The theory is that time moves relative to the observer, so an object (in this case the object is the observer) in motion experiences time dilation, which means that an object moving really fast experiences time more slowly than when it is at rest (not in motion)
Yes, planetary rings do cast shadows. Moreover, these shadows would create seasonal, months long twilight/eclipse areas on the planet, with completely different climate, flora and fauna. And in the other parts of the planet, that would be completely backwards, as rings would reflect sunlight during the night, making the sky almost bright as day for months. Planetary rings generally make climate, seasons and daylight cycles quite complex, and it would probably be a total nightmare to live under such conditions. I love space
Clone Wars. Then Bad Batch. Then Obi-Wan Kenobi. Then Andor season 1. Then Star Wars Rebels. Then Andor season 2. Then The Mandalorian seasons 1-2. Then The Book of Boba Fett (which is arguably Mandalorian season 2.5). Then Mandalorian season 3. Then Ahsoka.
@@FrozenxDeath you honestly think by the time he finishes seven seasons of Clone Wars, three seasons of Bad Batch, Obi-Wan, Andor season one, and four seasons of Rebels that season 2 of Andor won’t be out?
@@LeChaunceConsidering it's still March, and Andor's release date within 2025 hasn't been announced, that gives him anywhere from nine months to over a year and a half. So.... yeah. I don't think it'd be terribly difficult at all, let alone impossible.
@@FrozenxDeath Even if he does two or three episodes of CW and Rebels a week, I'm willing to bet he wouldn't finish everything earlier chronologically before needing Andor season 2. And even in the unlikelihood of him finishing all that up before then (remember, filming has wrapped... they're well into post-production at this point and I think we can confidently say we can expect it early in 2025, taking the spot usually reserved for a new Mando season), there won't be that much of a wait.
Don make sure to watch the shows in release order soo u don’t get confused . I think it’s like MANDO s1 s2 then boba s1 then MANDO s3? I think anyways but just search the release order
13:30 So if we assume a Star Destroyer (the white empire ships) to be equivalent to a Gerard R Ford-class aircraft carrier, which costs about $13B, and we estimate the first Deathstar is about 100 Star Destroyers long on the diameter… I don’t even know the proper unit of numbers to be using but lets just say its somewhere around $8,874 TRILLION 💀💀💀
Yes. Those guys in Jeda that gave Jen a hard time and told her to just watch herself... Same guys who bothered Luke in A New Hope and Kenobi cut his arm off.
Stormtroopers are NOT clones. Clones were phased out when the empire took over, with real regular people trained as storm troopers. Right after the empire won, they phased them out in the following years. Watch the bad batch once you've gotten through clone wars, etc (whatever order youre watching in, canonically i assume) It will go into much more depth on the empire taking over after the defeat of the jedi

7:20 "What happened to don't shoot the messenger?" If you don't shoot the messenger, the Empire will torture the messenger for any information he has on the Rebellion, learning about the defector pilot and how much he knew about the Death Star. Then they would have shot him.
I was lucky enough to see this one in the cinema when it came out.
I love this one so much, showed how much potential there is doing one-off stories within SW universe.
And then Disney took it personally as a challenge and decided to mess the whole franchise altogether 😢
Don you aint wrong, the faster you go the slower time is relative to the stationary point.
If you watch andor the ending of this movie is even more impactful
btw stormtroopers arent clones the clones were abandoned a few yrs after ep3. stormtroopers r conscripted people and people who signed up. some stormtroopers r also people who the empire kidnapped as babies and raised as soldiers
When do the movies state that?
@@andymiller6661 bro not the movies the bad batch shows the clones all being abandoned and imprisoned and i believe in force awakens or summat finn talks about how he was taken as a kid or summat like that or maybe it was in the books
@jbomber4416 I don't care about that. I b specifically asked where it's stated in the movies, not in Star Wars.
Yeah, but that's for the First Order. In the same movie, Kylo said they should have stuck with clones, which implies that the Empire used clones as stormtroopers.
“We haven’t seen a lightsaber his whole movie”
Bro bout to find out…
Honestly, these movie watch along reaction vids are actually entertaining. Maybe this trend will blow up. Its kinda like cozy vibes.
Don Townsend 🐐🐐🐐
Best thing is this happens Literally RIGHT before a new hope.
That hallway scene with Darth Vader is just the best
Him being incompetent is the best?
Not Dom casually saying Stardust at 1:28 !! PLAYED
this movie made the opening paragraph to "a new hope" so much more meaningful!
Just for extra info, the black storm troopers are called Death Troopers
Yeah, those are the 2 from episode 4 at the bar. The guy that tries to start a fight with Luke then Obi Wan has to cut them down.
Btw storm troopers aren’t clones, they are conscripts.
When do the movies state that?
Nice catch. Those were the same guys from the bar scene in A New Hope at 16:28
Yes!!!! I was waititng so long for this
Also, the show andor is about cassians backgtound into the rebel alliance , (the guy who died with jyn at the end)
Stormtroopers aren’t clones, the clones got phased out shortly after the empire started and were replaced with conscripted soldiers
Right, and LOTS of them. Probably one of the reasons why the majority of Stormtroopers are so rubbish.
When do the movies state that?
By the way in Empire Strikes Back, Zev “Rogue 2” Senesca picks up Han Solo and Luke Skywalker after they get trapped by a snowstorm on planet Hoth
Ravyn lenae sticky is a banger lol. You say sticky all the time and it starts playin in my head 🤣🤌🏽🔥
Do Andor. Do Andor. Do Andor. Please do the Disney series Andor. It's 12 episodes.
Your like the first reactor ive seen that realised Vader was going ontonthe ship.
Rip blue leader his mustache was glorious.
25:05 The shot where the death star eclipses the star, beautiful.
Don stormtroopers are still not clones
Also, fun fact, Vader was actually the one who orchestrated the downfall of the Death Star. In the Vader comics, Sidious and Tarkin tried to keep Project Stardust a secret from Vader, but he went detective mode and followed the trail back to Galen Erso, and while investigating Galen, he found out about how the Empire was secretly harvesting a shit load of Kyber. And, being an engineering genius, Vader deduced that the only reason they would need that much was for some sort of massive laser. Now, it's important to note that, at the time, Galen thought the Kyber was just a power source for a massive space station, he didnt know it was a super weapon in the beginning. So, Vader confronted Tarkin about it and and Tarkin started bragging about how after the Death Star was completed, the most powerful force in the universe would no longer be Vader or the Force, it would be the super weapon of the Empire. And Vader absolutely hated the idea of some blasphemous technology eclipsing the power of the Force, so he sent an unmarked droid to Galen's home, the droid found Galen's wife and told her that a benefactor wished to inform them of the true nature of Project Stardust and after telling Galen's wife what the space station was really meant to become, the droid self destructed. Galen's wife told him what the droid had said, and Galen attempted to leave the project since he was essential to it, which is what we see in the flashbacks of this movie. And then when he was hunted down and forced to return, he decided to do the next best thing, make sure the Death Star would have a fatal flaw. Not only does it add a really cool layer to this whole thing, but it also helps to retcon/explain why Vader doesnt really seem to try that hard to retrieve the plans or stop the Rebels during A New Hope. Especially given how easily he outsmarted them and whooped them in Empire Strikes Back. There are actually lots of cool things like this where Sidious and the Empire try to supplant the Force or supercede its power with technology and pretty much every single time, Vader shows up and destroys whatever new thing they were working on because he believes so strongly in the strength and purity of the Force.
Awesome reaction of my favorite Star Wars movie!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Why can nobody on the Internet spell "Rogue" correctly?
The best of the Disney movies which isn’t hard to be the best but this one rivals the main movies pre Disney era as one of the best Star Wars movies.
At this point, the stormtroopers are not clones. They are normal people that chose to go through an imperial training academy
When do the movies state that?
@@andymiller6661 pretty sure it was in rebels. Also probably stated in the comics
@shermanpeaslee658 So in other words, that's not stated in the movies. Got it.
29:25 wait.... i thought comunication in hyperspace is not possible 0_o
edit: 53:30 an Imperial I-class Star Destroyers had over 37,000 crew on board- 9,235 officers and 27,850 enlisted personnel. The complement of 9,700 stormtroopers added to a total of 46,785 crew and passengers. thats just one of those 2 destroyers
Seeing Leia at the end in the cinema really hit the feels just a few days after the actress (Carrie Fisher) died. RIP and may the force be with you, always.
Best Disney Star Wars thing after Andor
Clone wars? Bad batch? Tales of the Jedi? Mando season 1 and 2?
@@shreksswamp1182 don't even come close to andor
@@jm6406 lol that’s laughable. Rogue one yes. Andor absolutely not.
@@shreksswamp1182 All dogshit except Mando season 1 which is fine
@@lukescrew1981 lol are you kidding? The final 4 episodes of season 7 clone wars is some of the best starwars we have ever seen.. plus all of tales of the Jedi is fantastic.. and season 3 of badbatch is arguably on pace to be the best starwars season out of any of the shows.. and how tf is season 2 of mando bad? Are you one of the clowns that think just because they had a little bit of “fan service” it makes the show bad? I like andor and it has fantastic cinematography and writing but give me a break lmao
The actor who did K2SO was also hilarious on Firefly. If you somehow haven’t watched that, it’s a popular show for reactors, has a dedicated following, and it’s not too long: 14 episodes and a movie. Pretty sure you’d like it by the end of episode 2 if not right away.
As something approaches the speed of light, time does indeed move slower for it in relation to the rest of the universe. Theoretically, if it WERE possible for something with mass to reach the speed of light, time (from its perspective) may even freeze entirely. For example, if you were to put an atomic clock (basically just an extremely accurate clock) on a spaceship and send it 100 light years away, the clock would (theoretically) read the exact same time on arrival that it did the moment it hit light speed. What's crazier is that exceeding the speed of light may even reverse the flow of time. That being said, everything we know of physics tells us that nothing with mass can ever reach the speed of light.

Also, the faster-than-light travel they use in Star Wars is actually just entering a sort of alternate dimension where distances between objects/planets are much shorter, so all this time dilation fuckery doesn't apply in this case.
Hey Don fyi the title is misspelled - it should be Rogue not Rouge. Love the reactions!
For the first time we saw Vader fully unleashed in live action. Because of limitations back in the original trilogy they were never able to convey how powerful he really is. Not anymore. You have no idea how much people cheered when he pulled up in the final scene in theaters.
The blind badass, Chirrut, is played by Donnie Yen, who is an incredible martial artist and talented actor. If you wanna see more of him in action and in a leading role, check out the Ip Man movies. They're about the life of the man who trained Bruce Lee.
34:03 stormtroopers are not clones!! The empire discontinues the clone trooper program, stromtroopers are normal people taken from homes or who volunteered etc.
I love how only city of jedha got blown up by the Death Star was like they were testing the capability of it how powerful it truly was
13:06 still can't believe this guy is CGI because the actor passed away
also saw gererra is a insurgent from the TCW he fought against the CIS (Seperatist Alliance) alongside the republic now he fights against the empire
The show Andor! Trust.
Holy shit, I never realized the movie opens with a shot of Stardust, which is the nickname of the main character 😭
One of the only Disney star wars productions that actually feels like star wars
The stormtroopers are humans and the clone troopers are clones if you watch the bad batch you will see that they don’t want to use the clones anymore and bring humans instead.
I love how saw gerra appeared in many Star Wars things even a game and shows he is more aggressive leader then the actual rebel alliance good character tho
The door didn't get stuck, Vader was keeping it shut with the force as he went an annihilated those rebels in the hallway
"DOOR STUCK! ... PLEASE!!"
storm troopers aren't clones, during the turn from the galactic republic into the galactic empire, the empire started phasing out clones due to a lot of them being disloyal and also their rapid aging. all stormtroopers are human/other humanoid races, that either willingly signed up or were conscripted at a young age.
Bro you need to watch the andor series asap
This is my favorite disney star wars movie. Love it.
Cassian killed "the messenger" because he was injured, unable to escape, and might talk if captured.
Those are the same two guys from movie 1 i noticed my second time watching
13:30 it would cost $100 quintillion dollars to Build just one realistically speaking and to keep it functioning it will cost even more.
28:19 traveling at the speed of light slows time down for you but everyone else's time remains the same and they age the same but you will age slower.
Ah yes, my favorite Star Wars film: “Rouge One” (check the title)
Seriously though it is my favorite, thrilled you’ve finally gotten to it.
Clone Wars, then Tales of the Jedi, and after The Bad Batch.
Realisticly speaking, the Death Star would take more metal to build then we could mine from the entire planet. So, it is literaly beyond cost for us to build.
13:30 It has been calculated ! $850 quadrillion !!!
“If you travel at the speed of light, does time slow down?”
Literally on the level of thinking of Albert Einstein. His work in his “Theory of Special Relativity” spawned the theory of “Time Dilation”. The theory is that time moves relative to the observer, so an object (in this case the object is the observer) in motion experiences time dilation, which means that an object moving really fast experiences time more slowly than when it is at rest (not in motion)
That door didn't get stuck... Vader got that door stuck. It's an unforgiving but a wonderful movie.
Yes, planetary rings do cast shadows. Moreover, these shadows would create seasonal, months long twilight/eclipse areas on the planet, with completely different climate, flora and fauna. And in the other parts of the planet, that would be completely backwards, as rings would reflect sunlight during the night, making the sky almost bright as day for months. Planetary rings generally make climate, seasons and daylight cycles quite complex, and it would probably be a total nightmare to live under such conditions.
I love space
Clone Wars. Then Bad Batch. Then Obi-Wan Kenobi. Then Andor season 1. Then Star Wars Rebels. Then Andor season 2. Then The Mandalorian seasons 1-2. Then The Book of Boba Fett (which is arguably Mandalorian season 2.5). Then Mandalorian season 3. Then Ahsoka.
Andor season 2 doesn't even come out until next year though
@@FrozenxDeath you honestly think by the time he finishes seven seasons of Clone Wars, three seasons of Bad Batch, Obi-Wan, Andor season one, and four seasons of Rebels that season 2 of Andor won’t be out?
@@LeChaunceConsidering it's still March, and Andor's release date within 2025 hasn't been announced, that gives him anywhere from nine months to over a year and a half.
So.... yeah. I don't think it'd be terribly difficult at all, let alone impossible.
@@FrozenxDeath Even if he does two or three episodes of CW and Rebels a week, I'm willing to bet he wouldn't finish everything earlier chronologically before needing Andor season 2. And even in the unlikelihood of him finishing all that up before then (remember, filming has wrapped... they're well into post-production at this point and I think we can confidently say we can expect it early in 2025, taking the spot usually reserved for a new Mando season), there won't be that much of a wait.
@@LeChaunce And it's inconceivable that he could do more than three twenty minute episodes per week?
i saw this movie in the theater when t released. that Darth Vader scene at the end is fucking insane in theaters.
It is insane that he's incompetent
Don make sure to watch the shows in release order soo u don’t get confused . I think it’s like MANDO s1 s2 then boba s1 then MANDO s3? I think anyways but just search the release order
Don... Stormtroopers are human soldiers not clones. The clones were replaced by more affordable human soldiers when the empire came around
13:30 So if we assume a Star Destroyer (the white empire ships) to be equivalent to a Gerard R Ford-class aircraft carrier, which costs about $13B, and we estimate the first Deathstar is about 100 Star Destroyers long on the diameter… I don’t even know the proper unit of numbers to be using but lets just say its somewhere around $8,874 TRILLION 💀💀💀
Yes. Those guys in Jeda that gave Jen a hard time and told her to just watch herself... Same guys who bothered Luke in A New Hope and Kenobi cut his arm off.
I did a tad of research because I was curious as well, apparently the death star would cost arround 192 Quintillion $
Stormtroopers are NOT clones. Clones were phased out when the empire took over, with real regular people trained as storm troopers.
Right after the empire won, they phased them out in the following years.
Watch the bad batch once you've gotten through clone wars, etc (whatever order youre watching in, canonically i assume)
It will go into much more depth on the empire taking over after the defeat of the jedi
When do the movies state that?
