Now the start of Episode IV is hilarious.
"We're on a diplomatic mission to Alderan"
"Bitch I just saw you escape from Scaraf like 5min ago"
Leia: "Nuh-uh, wasn't me."
"Er... no, it was the other Alderaanian senator. We have the same model of ship."
"Naw, I'm a computer simulation, that was the real me!"
@@jmhaces They did not know Leia was on the ship only that the ship had the plans it makes more sense why they blew up Alderaanian now while they knew she was lying to them they knew for sure the planet was with the rebels
It was never a particularily good excuse, but it can't be just minutes. The ship speeds away and there is no way to track ships through hyperspace. The time between Rogue One and IV is unknown. Could be hours or days.
My favorite fact about this movie is that the writer wanted to do a bolivian army ending (kill all the protagonists) but thought Disney would never let him do it. So his first draft had Jyn and Cassian finding a ship and escaping. Disney came back with “It’s great, but shouldn’t Jyn and Cassian die in the end?”
He’s just like, “… 👍 You got it!”
Bolivian?
@@ElKamaleon777
Look it up on TV tropes. It’s named after the ending of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, where the protagonists are gunned down by the bolivian army.
War has a cost. Killing them all gives more value to what they did. More poignant and, again, this is the “War” in Star Wars.
And if they had gotten away you would have to explain why Jinn Erso and Cassian Andor weren't fighting with the rebels in the original trilogy.
@@johnjogerst5919 In episode 4, the senator said that many people died to get the Death Star plans
I love what this adds to Vader and Leia's interaction at the beginning of Episode IV. Like, they just followed her ship from this battle and Leia's standing there going "I have no idea what you're talking about." right to his face.
Well Leia's ship jumped into hyperdrive after getting the plans so when Vader's ship caught up with her she was in a different system. So while the excuse was kind of weak what else was she supposed to say?
A true father catching his daughter moment.
Kids, am I right
As far as she knows, the Senate is still a thing, so she just has to maintain the lie.
Just like a man's daughter to lie to his helmet like that. /s
Both of your reactions during the hallway scene was just perfect! Exactly how I was when I saw it in the cinema.
When I sow this movie in the cinema it was so overwhelming to me. It was a few days after Carry Fisher past away.
We finally got see why everyone soils themselves at the sight of Vader.
And silence.
First time view, the whole theater was just silent for like the first 10- 15 seconds. Such a weird experience for everyone to be moved so similarly.
It's a fantastic piece of directing and visual/sound design. After succeeding in making the audience feel so depressed after watching every major character die one by one we are smacked in the face with this horrifying scene. Such good cinema.
I'm old enough to have seen Episode IV back in 1977, when it was a little ol' movie called "Star Wars." What I love about "Rogue One" all these years later is how all the details are filled in, of the people whose story deserves to be told and yet never lands on the front pages. After all, the Star Wars saga is complete and satisfying without "Rogue One." So, what gives?
This movie reminds us it's all too easy to forget history is written on the back of so much sacrifice, and the story of those sacrifices is worth the telling. People die believing in the cause, unsure their cause will ever come out winning. To me, that is the compounded tragedy; these deaths are deeply sad, but to not know if your death amounts to anything is the further tragedy. This film reminds us how ennobling it is to simply do the right thing, even at the gravest cost.
For instance, consider all the Allied soldiers who died on D-Day, June 6, 1944. Within a year, of course, the Allies has won WWII. I grieve their deaths and I think about them every Memorial Day and June 6. But I also grieve that they never got to know that their deaths amounted to defeating a genuine evil in the world; they died not knowing their sacrifice helped win the war. I love "Rogue 1" because it celebrates the spirit of those fallen - those nameless, countless heroes whose story tends to not be told.
It is so suitable that the last line in this movie is "hope," because it is what those fallen rebels would have wanted: they died to carry hope forward.
Well said. I repeat: Well said.
Now watch "Andor" - and see Tony Gilroy's version of Star Wars get due justice; a 12-episode TV masterpiece which has one more season greenlit to show how it ties up with Rogue One.
Andor is proper Star Wars taken to the ultimate level.
Imagine Rogue One - but with even better acting, set-design, music and real-life Andy Serkis not in a mocap suit ... [and no - he's not Snoke "before he went bad" - just a prisoner in one of the Empire's many penal hard-labour facilities]
Intrigued? You should be.
ANDOR is AWESOME!
"Did he just shoot his friend?"
Welcome to the dark side of rebellions. Since he knew the guy would be captured, he did the only thing he could to protect the rebellion..... make it so he can't be tortured and questioned. Because under Imperial torture, he would crack and spill everything he knew about the defector, and his contacts inside the rebellion.
He was a spy for the rebellion; you don't let a talkitive sort survive if he would be interigated
Swag money
Members of the British Resistance were going to kill their recruiter if Britain was invaded because he could identify them if captured.
Even better reply after Andor because we get to see his background before he shot that guy.
That's why I love this and Andor so much, it's the exact aesthetic and perspective I've wanted from Star Wars since I was like 10 years old, the Jedi were always cool to me but I was just bored of them. Before this, the best I had was the later seasons of the Clone Wars, and I'm so glad I've finally got an equivalent for the OT era. Andor is unironically the best Star Wars entry since Episode 5 imo
I love that they didn’t have a love story in this. By the end Cassian and Jyn were just two people who liked and respected one another and this was conveyed with a single hug. 🤌🏻 perfect. Not every movie needs a love story
“Be careful not to choke on your aspirations.” is one of my favorite line in any media. It is a double pun! Both choke and aspirations have double meanings that fit in the sentence. I've always known he was dramatic but damn all that sass.
Honestly it kinda is like a James Bond pun.
@@embran8486 It was a dad joke. Vader is a father after all.
@@hanng1242 Obviously. I'm just saying the line could very well be from a Bond movie.
No time to point out how terrible the pun is when Vader is about to crush your windpipe.
I agree. I love that they didn't shy away from giving him a bit of a dry humor here. :D
Rogue One is one of my favorite star wars movies, and certainly the best of the current crop made recently.
Easily the best of all the new films IMO
29:25 on, when George finally "gets it". Yes, this leads IMMEDIATELY into Episode IV. And, yes, both your reactions to Darth Vader's long-awaited scene, where you finally get to see what he can REALLY do, you are so not alone. Everyone reacted the same way.
Donnie Yen is not a Jedi, he was a guard of the Jedi Temple who were forced sensitive but not enough to become Jedi. Love yalls reactions
Chirrut was part of the same group (guardian of the whills) that the priest Kylo Ren killed in The Force Awakens
He survived the Betrayal, but it may have cost him his eyesight
He killed the other informant because he was too injured to escape with him. Couldn't risk him falling in imperial hands.
Yep. A little cold, but absolutely pragmatic.
I don't think it was about the guy being injured, but he being too loud and apparently incapable of discretion, at that point.
Honestly, it was probably the kindest way to end for the guy. This way the guy avoided prolonged torture. Especially considering the Empire's methods...
not to mention, dying by a surprise blast in the back would have been a lot better than what the Imperials had in store for him.
@@ShadowsintheEyes And the empire would've killed him after interrogating and torturing him, so he was actually giving him some mercy.
In addition to using the CGI Tarkin (RIP Peter Cushing) and the CGI de-aged Leia (Carrie was still alive when this was filmed) they also used footage of Red Leader and Gold Leader from the original Star Wars film. One guy in Rogue One who was not in A New Hope: Red Five. When he checked in, you know he is dead meat as his call sign is available to be assigned to Luke.
There's a scene in Rogue One when Bail Organna (Leia's dad) is talking to the leader of the Rebellion (we saw her character back in Return of the Jedi) about his friend "The Jedi..." - that's Obi-Wan and that he'll send his daughter to bring him to the fight. So that's why Leia was going to Tatooine with the plans to get him. I love how this movies goes right into Ep. IV, and the opening crawl of Ep. IV, the first paragraph of it is in fact, this movie... Many fans call this movie Ep. 3.95...
He talks about obiwan AND Leia with Mon Mothma asking about Obiwan the jedi then Bail says he trusts HER with his life, meaning his daughter Leia.
"How many years were between episodes 3 & 4?" Luke & Leia were born at the end of 3 and are about 18-20 at beginning of 4.
19, to be exact, since Episdoes 3 and 4 are exactly 19 years apart.
Oh, and some background: Galen and Krennic were old college buddies and ambitious charismatic Krennic was sort of obsessed with the introverted genius Galen and roped him into his various machinations. Lyra, Jyn's mother, was a geologist researching kyber crystals and a faithful of the Force (and an ex-Jedi in an earlier script draft). Chirrut and Baze were both Guardians of the Whills, holy guardians of the Kyber Temple, but Baze lost his faith when the Empire occupied Jedha and pillaged the temple. Chirrut's demise clearly made him regain some of it. 😪
As for Cassian, his story will be told soon in the form of a Disney+ series 'Andor'.
Now that Andor is playing out, the whole "I've been a part of this fight since I was six years old" seems a bit of an exaggeration.
Some of the footage of the rebel pilots are unused shots from A New Hope. Amazing way to connect the two
So in the current canon of star Wars, among the defenders of Echo Base on Hoth is Rogue Group (often called Rogue Squadron by fans) was commanded by initially Commander Luke Skywalker. They took their name from the group known as Rogue One who made the impossible, possible (and seeing how Rogue Group comprised of survivors of the first Death Star battle and the Battle of Hoth, it seemed fitting. There will be a upcoming movie directed by Patty Jenkins called "Rogue Squadron" and in the pre-disney Era Rogue Squadron under Commander Wedge Antilles made a name for themselves in the books for being the top Rebel fighter squadron.
The first 4 of that book series was pretty good. Never finished it after I got into Wheel of Time and Dune.
@@bobbybobbatunday9959 That's too bad, you stopped right before it got good.
@@bobbybobbatunday9959 The spin off series, Wraith Squadron, by Aaron Allston, was better, I think. You might want to check it out.
Really loved the Rogue Squadron book series, hard to pick one but i really enjoyed the direction it went for Wraith Squadron and the two books after which followed those characters.
That has to be one of the best Star Wars movies ever. It absolutely shows that the rebellion had to sacrifice every resource, their entire fleet and every hero in order to get those plans.
This is, IMO, the best Star Wars right after Empire Strikes Back. Definitely the most visually gorgeous (I sincerely hope the only reason Greig Fraser didn't get an Oscar nom for his masterful cinematography is because he was nominated for another film that year) and emotionally hard-hitting one -- I'm a life-long SW fan but the only other Star Wars stories I can think of in the same category are in the realm of video games: Knights of the Old Republic II and Jedi: Fallen Order.
Also 'Your Father Would Be Proud' on the soundtrack... instant waterworks every time.
yup. Couldn't agree more.
@@Mr.Ekshin thought solo was actually pretty good
Agreed.
I'm more of a fan of ROTS.
For me it's
1. ROTS
2. TESB
3. R1
1. TESB
2a. R1
2b.RotS
3. ROTJ
4. AOTC
The rest are decent (Anh,pm,solo and the last one), or complete crap.
One more vote for ANDOR . Do it, guys. For real.
I'll say this on every reactor video I see for this movie:
The way they pulled off attaching damning emotional resonance to the stupid Death Star weakness is the most impressive retcon in the history of mainstream cinema. The empire was once again taken down by a parent's love for their children. I still tear up.
My step-daughter was working for Lucasfilm (on a top secret project that I think was figuring out tech needed for Mandalorian) when this movie was screened to the employees of Lucasfilm. Apparently they introduced it with the introductory crawl from a New Hope, and when it go to the part about a small team stealing the plans it froze there and said "This is their story." I wish they had kept that in the final cut of the movie but probably didn't feel it was an appropriate way to start what is essentially a dark movie. But this is definitely my favorite Star Wars movies.
PS: LOVE the tapestry (if that is what it is) of Middle Earth in the background. Where did you get it? My brother and I once had a poster of the original map of Middle Earth from the books. Wish I had salvaged that when he died.
I honestly think it was best this way, because then we the audience do not know for sure if they'll succeed in anything. For all we know, they might all die *and* fail to send the message, so by the end even though they all die we still think "At least we know they didn't die for nothing." because we know how much having that information helped the rebels. But I knew for sure e they would succeed on that, I would only be sad by the end of the movie seeing all of them die and not achieve anything beyond what I was expecting them to.
I'm so glad you guys got the connection with the original Episode IV, A New Hope. This is my favorite of all the Star Wars franchise because when I saw A New Hope when I was a kid and the rebels received the Death Star plans, they say, "Many died to bring us these plans." They were talking about the entire cast of this film dying to get the Death Star plans out to Princess Leia. I always wondered who that was, this Episode answered that for me. Notice too, that Red 5 X-Wing pilot dies trying to take down the shield in this one... Luke is assigned the Red 5 call sign in A New Hope (that's my favorite reference in this one).
You're thinking of "Return of the Jedi" when she says "Many Bothens died to bring us this information." - Wrong Death Star, wrong plans, wrong spies
@@seannovack3834 Meh! You're obviously way more versed in the story line than I am. To me, this leads right onto the opening scroll for 'A New Hope' where Leia entrusts the plans into R2D2 to get them off the ship and Luke unknowingly finds the partial message, "Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, your our only hope." I may be wrong but that's where it remains in my week understanding. Thanks for pointing that out tho.
@@wollysammoth, you're absolutely right in that this leads directly into the opening of Episode IV. In fact I remember going home after seeing this in the theater and having to re-watch A New Hope for the thousandth time just to view it through the lens of Rogue One. The first thing I noticed is that at the beginning of the film Darth Vader is PISSED. He really isn't anything but coldly competent or dangerously ironic throughout the remainder of the trilogy, up until the duel in front of the Emperor in The Return of the Jedi. The writers of Rogue One took a single portion of the opening crawl of the first film and turned it into quite possibly the 2nd best Star Wars Movie ever made, in my opinion (Behind only The Empire Strikes Back)
The line you are thinking of was spoken by Mon Mothma when the Rebels were getting briefed on the second Death Star in Return of the Jedi. The information that the Rebels managed to obtain from the Bothan spies was the location of the second Death Star, and the fact that the Emperor would actually be going there and when. Many Bothans died to obtain that information. ;-)
It's a common mistake. No worries.
It's been 19 years between ROTS and ANH
@@rickardroach9075 Not as badly as Vader though. He's only early-mid 40's in return of the jedi.
@@rickardroach9075 Sunscreen > The Force
The Clone Wars animated Television show does a lot to tie up loose ends and plot holes in the prequels and original Trilogy, much like Rogue One did. Dave Filoni is a genius when it comes to stuff like that.
As well as The Bad Batch
This movie felt a lot like a classic WW2 movie the Dirty Dozen, great film. you two should watch it, its easy to see its influence on this films structure. When i saw this in theaters i really liked how it actually put the "WAR" in Star Wars, it was more grim and "realistic" in its depiction of warfare. Almost Gundamesque really. i digress.
+
More reactors should delve further into the classics and Dirty Dozen is a great place to Start.
It's fascinating that now we know the story behind that very first Star Wars movie opening crawl!
I first saw this in the theater, four days after Carrie Fisher died. I was not prepared for that last shot. I was sobbing in the theater. And the model sitting square in the uncanny valley just makes it easier to hate Disney for this.
Jimmy Smits plays Senator Bail Organa, he was in the prequels and was the man who helped Yoda and Obi-Wan escape the Purge. They also did a very good job on casting lookalikes for several characters, like Mon Mothma.
So glad yall jumped on this early before other SW films. It's really a good one.
IMHO, one of the best Star Wars movies -- and probably THE best so far of the Disney era. It was true to the original Star Wars credo: an adventure movie with a ton of heart to it. The performances were great, the characters were totally likeable. The plot was straightforward and moved along nicely. Few or no extraneous elements. Lots of fun, lots of feels. Star Wars at its best.
Rogue One is the best film in the Star Wars Universe. It is a damn near perfect film. Jyn Ors and the Rogue One crew are perhaps the greatest heroes of the rebellion, saving the galaxy with what they all suspected was a suicide mission. Glad you all appreciated its brilliance as much as I did.
I love the moment when it HITS that it’s right before the original Star Wars movie
The Voice of K2SO is basically a reprise of Sonny (I-Robot) for Tudyk.
Just with more manacing lines^^
This and Empire Strikes Back are the two best Star Wars films by a wide margin. Slight edge to Empire for its two most iconic moments ("I love you" "I know" & Luke meets his dad)
The Rogue One story happens just about 19 years after Revenge Of The Sith. It's the story of the spies who procured the Death Star to the Rebellion. By the way, George Lucas has said the the last scene with Carrie Fisher was actually a scene that was shot for episode IV A New Hope and was enhanced digitally for this scene to give the viewer a true continuation to the story.
The text crawl was taken by Lucas from the old Black & White 1954 Flash Gordon TV Series. Also, even though it's "talked about" there is no mystical force element in this movie.. It's almost a pure gritty grime vibe throughout.
I remember watching this and just being like holy shit this is one of the best Star wars movies I've seen outside of the original trilogy. Like even as a kid Darth Vader was cool but he was never overly scary to me. I don't know but this movie, that one scene at the end just makes him this ruthless terrifying monster and I think it's fucking amazing and probably my favorite Darth Vader scene of any film including the original trilogy. I'm not one of the Star wars super fans although I really really loved it for a couple years when I was younger but I still enjoy them immensely and I don't think I will see a Darth Vader scene that I like more than that
"These are prisoners. [...] I am taking them...to imprison them...in prison." 🙈
This was amazing. I saw a screening and everyone was happy to see her recreated because it was so recent.
And if you go back and read the original scroll at the beginning of Episode 4, it’s literally the plot of this movie.
There's no text crawl because this is the visualization of the text crawl for A New Hope.
Fun fact, the entrance way the shore and stormtroopers come out of was filmed on the platform of London's Canary Wharf Tube station, they filmed a lot of scenes there but they were cut from the final version of the film. The area shows up in one of the trailers
The time lapse between III and IV is about 19 or 20 years. That's how old Luke is at the beginning of A New Hope. Rogue One could be considered to be Episode 3.99.
Masterfully done film. Among other things that took me back to childhood - notice they used unused footage of the pilots from the original Star Wars movie during the space battle.
The woman y-wing pilot is also supposed to be the one y-wing pilot who survived the battle of Yavin
Rogue One is in my opinion the best Star Wars film because it depicts honour, courage, and valour for this ordinary collection of rebel soldiers that are used as canon fodder in the main Star Wars series.
I had just watched the reactions for episodes 4, 5, and 6 recently. Happy to see this one out now!
Loved the realization of where exactly in the timeline this fell. Proceed to episode 4 and loop.
The beginning drags a bit, but they finally got the tone of a movie right, for the first time since Empire. You can still have a few moments of humor but keep it dark. Everyone dying showed they didn’t take the easy way out. And the panicked pace of the finale feels authentic.
This, there's humour but done with an excellent amount of restraint at just the right times.
If there's an opportunity for a SW fan service film in the future, hope they make a Rogue Two that shows the Bothans getting the pans for the second Death Star. Imagine how broke up Mon Mothma must be to have seen so many killed under her watch as the Rebellion went on for five more years after Ep 4.
Imperials keep making weapons with design flaws.
I'll Pass. Disney will just use it to give backstory for purple haired leadership and fill the rest of the plot in with fixes for the kiddie cartoon plotholes
@@bobbybobbatunday9959 show me on the doll where the bad mouse touched you.
@@1stCainite Besides Bobby being spot on, your comment made me laugh so hard... 🤣😁😂👍
@@ReadersOfTheApocalypse :D
George's shocked face at the Darth Vader scene was the exact audience reaction
Never quite got why the Rebels wanted to kill Gaylen. Andor already told them the weapon was ready so what did they expect to accomplish by killing one scientist? It's almost as if they read the script and knew he was super important to the project. And I agree with RLM on the Krenek killing the other scientist move. It was a typical bad empire man kills his men to show how badass he is, with no thought to what could happen if some aspect of the station broke down in the future.
That entire Vader sequence, with the lightsaber in the dark hallway, is probably the greatest two minutes of Star Wars that I have ever seen! I never get tired of watching it!!
29:34 I just love the polar opposite reactions happening there
George loves Rogue One AND the sequels 7 and 8 even if they are different to his vision for 7 and 8 and stated in interviews he still learned to appreciate what JJ and Rian did.
the time between episode 3 and episode 4 equals Luke's age at the start of episode 4: around 17 years.
also i love how many charters or robots and behicles are legit just toys from the 75s.
Yall gotta watch Andor. takes place 5 yrs before this. One of the best Star wars series out.
Remember in episode 4 -- many lives were given up to gain these plans. Rogue One is the story of those many lives.
I am glad you liked it. I think Rogue One is underrated.
you sure that wasnt said in ep 6
not by me I love this movie the only one I that Disney has made that I love the others I could throw away but this movie is amazing
@@wolf99000 What's not by you?
this is the best movie of the star wars franchise, it actually makes you understand the dire situation instead of a paragraph that rolls up in episode 4
Yet still a bad movie.
I enjoyed watching you figure out where it fitted into the Star Wars chronology. It's definitely one of my favorite Star Wars movies.
28:20 - The irony of Krennic's own creation being what killed him is only part of what is being conveyed here. What is really being driven home is how fast a bootlicker will be discarded when there is no further use of them. Same in episode III when Darth Vader killed the separatist leaders.
Time between Episode 3 and Episode 4 = Luke's age.
There are more exact answers, but for the casual viewer, that's all you really need.
I love how this movie perfectly dovetails into the beginning of A New Hope.
The last thing I did in 2016 was watch this at the cinema and the first thing I did in 2017 was watch A New Hope.
The way this movie takes your emotions on a roller coaster is probably similar to the way life in the Rebellion feels. If you get too close to people, you might soon have to get used to going on without them as people die, and for many reasons. You can understand Cassian's coldness towards people when he tells Jinn that this has been his life since he was six years old. Just about anyone he's ever gotten close to in his life is either dead, or is so far out of his life that they may as well be.
When George was freaking out over Vader's shadow I was sitting here like "oh just you wait" knowing the scene in the ship rebel ship was still to come.
People often forget that “Technically” while the Rebel alliance were the “Good Guys” they were fighting the dominant power within the galaxy, which would define the Alliance as Terrorists by definition and function seeing as they had multiple Cells working together across the galaxy and almost failed entirely multiple times.
Love how Simone’s face during the Vader scene was horrified, George had the hugest grin 😂
We were attending the premiere with a few decades-long Star Wars buddies, all decked out all nerdy in Imperial merchandise, and we just whooped at the hallway scene... while sitting next to a family with their kids dressed up as Leia and a X-Wing pilot.
Bunch of nerds holding beers hollering at how those kids' heroes were slaughtered by the boogeyman himself.
The looks on the parents' faces, man. Literally two Simones looking at a gaggle of Georges.
To date my favorite cinema audience interaction, if you want to call it that..
I'll be honest. This video was the first one of yours to be recommended to me and I thought your name was "cringe binge" lol.
Loved the reaction. Definitely will come back
Rogue One is my personal favorite Star Wars outside of the original trilogy. I thought the writing and acting were both top notch and seeing believable CGI characters (rather than the atrocities that were added to the original trilogy) was fun. I'm with George, I got a huge crush on Felicity Jones when seeing this in theaters.
That guy who's "so familiar" Is Jimy Smits, who plays foster parent to Anakin's daughter.
That droid was like the highlight of the movie for me.
And 10 minutes after the end when Vader has a chance for an encore.. he tells you his troopers - you go in first this time, I pulled a hammy before.
The final scene with Jyn and Cassian gives me vibes of 'On the Beach'. Check out that movie reference.
That no-look shot at 4:21 was perfect! K-2SO's arm flew up like he was thinking, "Nope! Not today!"
Without a doubt the best modern Star Wars film that evokes the same feelings as the original trilogy.
When Bail Organa was asked who if he could trust the plans with someone he replied, "I would trust her with my life." He was referring to Leia, then he went to Alderaan.. which was blown up. Kinda funny. Very tragic.
You say, "that was such a bad-a$$ line", I say Vader gave us a dad joke.
I saw this in theaters with my family. While on the way there, we heard the news of Carrie Fishers passing. All of us started uncontrollably crying when we saw Leia's face at the end.
Rogue One is so amazing!! It was the missing puzzle piece that puts the whole picture/story together!!
Please, Disney, try to remember: DROIDS DON"T DIE. They're machines, they can be repaired. R2-D2 had his friggin head blown off, he's fine now. C-3PO gets blown apart on a regular basis & it never takes him out of action for more than a day or two.
K2SO saying congratulations you’re being rescued gave me Ebony Maw vibes
Yeah, this is a fantastic movie that never got enough credit. I love both that jyn and cassian were smiling on the beach because they knew they'd accomplished what they needed to do to destroy the empires biggest weapon
And that Vader had his most badass lightsaber trick ever, walking down a hallway of enemies and summarily executing all of them without breaking a sweat.
This movie completely holds up as much as the originals.
Yet still bad.
Vader being incompetent is badass?
The greatest of the Disney Star Wars films and right up there with the OT overall.
This really was an amazing movie. Though I've got to say that the novelization blows it completely out of the water. Each character's final scene is told from their own internal perspectives. For K-2SO, you get his running internal diagnostics and processing, re-routing functionality around damaged areas, while he's constantly calculating probabilities, and how to give them the best chance at success... and then Chirrut... his scene is punctuated by repetitions of "I am one with the force, the force is with me"... and it is absolutely beautiful. It really is amazingly done. And, to be completely honest, this movie hits me so hard that even as you two were watching through the battle on Scariff, I genuinely started crying, myself. Because I knew exactly what was coming.
Rewatched this after watching Rogue One with my kids. I noticed Vader's chest apparatus was off, so he essentially held his breath while hacking through the rebel soldiers on the blockade runner?
Last minute and a half went from science fiction to absolute horror. Loved this movie!
You know, I was 12 when I saw Star Wars (they retconned Chapter IV; A New Hope) when it was first released to theaters. When I saw Rogue One for the first time, it felt like I was 12 again! For me, this holds with the first three films, and the EU for me!
Bail Prestor Organa of Alderaan is the adoptive father of Princess Leia Organa.
He served as the First Chairman and Viceroy of Alderaan, and served in the Galactic Senate as the Senator of the Alderaan sector.
Bail is also one of the main founders of the Rebel Alliance.
He and his wife Breha were killed when the Death Star obliterated Alderaan.
This is one of my favorite Star Wars movies, it’s so well done I wish they’d put the same thought and effort into episodes 7-9.
The ending took us all by surprise. 💔
Donny yen’s character is a force adept. He’s force sensitive but has not had Jedi training
Luke was born at end of ROTS and was around 19 in New Hope so about 19 years between time-lines.
29:25 The reaction to the Darth Vader scene is marvellous. This scene was instantly a most memorable in movie history in my view.
How?
@@andymiller6661 It's both terrifying and awesome as George said. The sound and lighting is amazing. The timing is perfect. We've just unexpectedly witnessed all the people in the film we have grown to like die one by one, then without time to think we are smacked with Vader's power which was also unexpected. Wonderful cinema. It's jaw dropping - just look at their faces.
There's a quick line of dialogue in A New Hope, something along lines of a lot of good people died to get us those plans.
And here we see that.
A long time a friend of mine had a catchphrase, It was a great movie everybody died. So when I saw this I called him up told him I just come seeing from seeing Rogue One, I told him It was a great movie everybody died.
Even without knowing anything beyond what is shown in the film you can guess how much time approximately passed between episode 3 and episode 4, because Luke was born in the end of episode 3 and was a teenager or a young adult (e.g. 20 year old) in episode 4.
Will always think of this as episode 3.5. The script for this is fantastic.
If you watch the clone wars cartoon(takes place between attack of the clones and revenge of the sith) and the rebels cartoon it shows why Saw becomes paranoid in rogue one
Some of the in cockpit scenes in the final battle were out-takes (cutting room floor) from Star Wars (ep 4), they were cleaned up, digitized and used to make it feel authentic to the timeframe.
My favorite SW movie. So well done. So much warmth. Vader was a beast.
George's face at the Vader hallway scene is just everything about star wars fandom. Even though Vader is the villain, we love to see him just fuckin destroying dudes. Vader in his comic books is like this, I would suggest checking it out.
10 years between Episode 1 and 2.
3 years between Episode 2 and 3.
19 years between Episode 3 and 4.
3 years between Episode 4 and 5.
1 year between Episode 5 and 6.
Rogue One takes place immediately before Episode 4.
Solo takes place 9 years after Episode 3 (and 10 years before Episode 4).
The Mandalorian takes place 5 years after Episode 6.
So many Easter eggs in the movie, with references to Star Wars Rebels (you can see Chopper in Yavin IV, the Ghost is in the battle, and you can someone page "General Syndulla" there.)
