BEST Star Wars movie? *Rogue one* FIRST TIME WATCHING 

Tested over the power AND THEN BECAME DEADDD DDDDD BY THE END OF STAR WARS 4!

single reactor ignition to be specific

Still surprised by the number of people that seem to miss that part. They aren't blowing up these planets, just making a mess of them.

Wasnt it that the Death Star was build in a Way that you either could output enough Energy to blow up the entire Planet, and also lower the Lasers Output enough that it only devastates the Surface, though this still means the Laser cracks open the Planets Surface and makes a giant Area around it uninhabitable

@@Sheppart92 It probably does

I cired everytime Jyn was with her father. No shame in crying!

If you don't cry at _every_ Star Wars you're not paying attention.

@@SwiftJustice Yep. I even cried when I watched the Sequel Trilogy because of how godawful they were

I honestly felt the same, It was so painful and upsetting to see her for just a moment. A moment in time, when all things came round to Star Wars again in 1977. That feeling that I dont think will ever come again.

“Help me Obi-Wan, you’re my only hope.” 🥺🥺🥹

*Darth Vader

Big SW theme: Don't eff with a Skywalker in a hallway!

But it’s because of that ending that it makes it not Cannon otherwise, it would fuck up everything else.

@@MamadNobari Cap it’s Darth.

It’s 100% darth

well no shit 😅😂

But the ending is terrible. It breaks the cannon that the original Star Wars movie established.

@@imaginarycorgi7312 What did it break? Everything tied into A New Hope perfectly (or do you mean the tiny continuity error with C-3PO and R2?)

@@imaginarycorgi7312 of Andor or Rogueone?

@@imaginarycorgi7312 cause you r wrong ya ja!

Legend of an actor too

He died in 1994 .. which is technically "some time before the film released" but .. :D

@@EiriUesugiKun lol I wasn't sure when and forgot to google it to amend this comment. I thought it was more recent than '94. Wow

He's feared because of his violent incompetence.

Agreed and for me Andor has made Rogue One even better.

You do inded NEED to watch Andor - it's well, really good!

Yet still bad.

@@andymiller6661 Never share your opinions again❗❗

@@ColonizeMARS-hb7qy Why?

@@andymiller6661 Your opinions are trash🔥

​@@andymiller6661Because they're shit...

Yet still a bad movie. I most definitely didn't put Star Wars on.

Same. This was the first movie that felt like it conveyed the full brutality of living under a totalitarian dictatorship like the empire & fighting a war against it. The only other moment I can think of that was similar was the clones turning against the Jedi in the prequels, and that was just a montage.

And Clone Wars

@@lukescrew1981 Why not?

you have no say in anything star wars if you only like rogue one cause mads is in it lmfaoo

I was wondering when someone was gonna mention that

Edit:

Actually the ending is right before new hope

The problem with the greenscreen technology back then was that it was _bluescreen_ instead. There's a particular film stock that does not react at all to blue light, so anything shot before a blue background will show up on an otherwise-transparent negative. Then you can cut a matte over these frames and use an editing machine to compose them into the print.

He said in the video he's already seen them last year and posted them on the channel. He just doesn't remember the plots very well after all that time.

@@thenecrosanct4906 Yeah he did say that. Not surprised he doesn't remember the opening scene from the original trilogy. There's a fan edit of the Vader vs. Kenobi when he gets killed by Vader, and the fan edit is so much better than the original! Showing two powerful force users instead of a doddering old man trying to look impressive

@@ctakitimu Isn't that the point, though. Two old masters, one slowed by age and the other by his crippled body. They fight slowly, unsure of the others power or mystical abilities they may have mastered since their last duel. Vader looks almost hesitant to fight his old master, while Kenobi carefully dances around him for his final fight. Don't get me wrong, I love SC 38 Reimagined, but I like to think of it as a reinterpretation of that fight rather than an improvement.

@@cinemagoose "Two old masters, one slowed by age and the other by his crippled body." Interesting idea, but definitely retconning, wherever it originated. Time/budget/wardrobe constraints made that scene what it was. No time to hire athletic stunt double sword fighters for the pair, one 6' 6", no time/budget to build a Vader costume that would allow for "swashbuckling." It was fine as-is, though. A swordfight had never been done like this, future success of the movie was a *huge* question mark, and Lucas (wisely) trusted Dykstra/ILM to sell it. To steal from Christopher Walken's line in _Catch Me If You Can,_ "The audience couldn't keep their eyes off the light sabers." 😀

@@rollomaughfling380 yeah. I have read a couple fact books of star wars from before the Disney buyout (before Darth Vader became OP) that seem to support my argument. Over the past decade, Vader has appeared so often as an extremely powerful force user that I feel like the original scene has become outdated, now that my old explanation no longer works. SC 38 reimagined was kind of necessary to address the new canon now that Vader has been shown to easily overcome his cyborg implants. In a way, that original recon has now become retconned again, even if only unofficially

Just because they aren't seen later in itself doesn't mean that they had to die. Yeah, beautifully bad.

​@@andymiller6661 You clearly don't understand a tragedy. That's the point. None of these people had to die. But they are normal people fighting an active war. They aren't special in any way, like Luke, Leia and Han are. So when the Force cannot protect them anymore than getting them to do what needs to be done to get the plans to the Rebellion, they are left vulnerable to the active war around them.

@justinalicea1590 No, I fully understand tragedy. And I get that people die in war. But it'd be tragic if the rebels used better tactics and actually tried to live, or at least tried to perform their objectives better but died anyway. Alas, they used suicidal tactics and subpar vehicles when better vehicles and tactics were available. They don't need anyone special to do that, just someone to think things through for more than half a second.

@@andymiller6661 And your proof of this is what? Every rebel either was fighting to survive the moment they activated the detonators to draw out the Stormtroopers that would otherwise be in the way of reaching the actual plans or was fighting to cover someone else who was completing an important objective. Like the rebels who made themselves a target so that the pilot could reach the ship. None of the planet level combat involved kamikazes from rebel ships, they either blast their targets or were shot down themselves. Above the planet was the same.

@justinalicea1590 They're all to aware in writing and pacing that we know generally how the movie ends. But instead of dealing with the forgone conclusion that they will steal and deliver the plans no matter what by slowing down and developing the characters, they're violently propelled from action to action with no real actual or natural progression in relationships. Jyn goes from yelling at Cassian to quoting him passionately and Cassian goes from cold blooded killer to organizing a suicide squad for her because he chose not to kill the one person he was specifically ordered to kill, which was her father. And he had good reasons for not killing him, I'm sure Bor gullet was used, despite him making people go crazy, to learn the truth. Yet nothing comes of that truth gathering scene. When the X-Wings attacked Jyn's fathers position, we're told that they can't be called off because they're already committed. Nonsense. No shots were fired yet, and there's apparently instantaneous two way interstellar communications in Star Wars and with that squadron, so there's plenty of time to call them off. Even if there wasn't, there's nothing to prevent one of the X-Wings from hovering over the pad for a few seconds and sweeping the pad clear of enemies while his squad mates covered him. The end battle scenes went from "Cool visuals, I guess," to, "Seriously?" The inclusion of Red and Gold Leaders, obviously limited to what they could cull from cut angles meaning the almost the same exact lines from A New Hope was jarring. Then there's the out of place Mos Eisley jerks somehow being on Jedha, being jerks on Jedha because they have to cram some random cameo in the movie, just for them to leave Jedha immediately after being jerks and going straight to Tattoine, without freaking out over almost being killed by the Death Star. Pretty much everyone died in an explosion immediately after serving their one purpose in the movie, which was to flip a switch. And some of those switches were outside and exposed to the elements for no reason. And the antenna was out of alignment for no reason, and somehow transmitted to everyone yet just the rebel flagship, which had Leia's ship in it for some reason. And let's not forget that C-3PO and R2-D2 were in the Yavin hangar when everyone left yet on Leia's ship when it got boarded not much longer later. Also, the battle scenes was ridiculous. The rebels had the element of surprise, yet they didn't immediately start shooting everything on sight upon exiting lightspeed. There was no general plan and at most minimal coordination. Orders were given sporadically, instead of rapid fire. There was no shooting between the capital ships and minimal firing from the capital ships. There was no bombing or bombardment of the Imperial structure surrounding the shield opening. There were no squadrons of fighters firing volleys of torpedoes, just random fighters almost casually flying about and shooting at the occasional target. There were a total of 3 star destroyers in orbit around Scarif and yet not one deployed any troops to reinforce the surface. Instead, they just let the surface fend for itself and eventually Tarkin destroyed the Empire's own base, despite only some rebels being on the surface and despite the rebels already getting the plans. And fuck the rest of the data stored there, right? That's not important anymore for some reason. Vader's scene at the end was supposed to be orgasmicilly amazing, yet it's a let down and shows him to be incompetent. He dramatically took his time and turned off his life support and almost casually walked down the hall killing fools, instead of being mister badass sith and using the Force to brush everyone to the side and at least trying to Force grab the plans or using the Force to at least try stopping Leia's ship. Then he's standing in the vacuum of space like his suit is rated for that. The opening crawl in A New Hope mentioned spies, yet there weren't really spies. Just some people sneaking into a base. Sure, that could constitute spying, but barely at that. Vader mentioned that the data was beamed to her ship; sure, the satellite dish transmitted the data, but not to her ship. If they're going to have Vader eage against the machine and her ship be attached to the flagship for some reason, have Vader mow down the rebel scum and get the plans, only to have Leias ship leave and the communication officer on the flagship transmit/beam the data to her. That can be arranged since the data was transmitted to the flagship and copied to the case but not necessarily deleted from the ships computer. The one of Leia's officers copies the data to the disc and then deleted the data from the her ships computer. Or better yet, have a spy team on the surface. Then Leia's ship arrives to take on supplies for a "mercy mission" (as vaguely mentioned in A New Hope). The spies bribe a bunch of people (Leia mentioning the price they paid), and beam the data up to her ship. Vader happens to be in the system, somehow catches on to that, then gives chase, leading to the beginning of A New Hope. The exhaust port doesn't need a flaw purposefully built into it; it just needs to exist. Closing an exhaust port at the wrong time can lead to bad things happening to complex machines.

Even with all that, it's still a bad movie

I second that!

Third

Hey, I'd like to see that supercut.

Yet still bad.

23:09 Not necessarily. However the Snow Speeder Blasters were simply to weak so they had to fall back on the cable solution. The Laser Cannons of an X-Wing are quite a bit more powerful, but on Hoth they had to escort the Transports. Also they aren't actually fighting AT-ATs here as far as i know, but AT-ACTs, the less armored Variant with more Space for Troop Carrying.

28:37 Originally, Jyn and Cassian would have found a spaceship and barely escaped at the last minute. However the test audiences commented that that felt... wrong, that they were supposed to die after finishing their mission and not miraculously survive.

Yet still bad

They got Vader’s voice perfect for Obi Wan Kenobi, but it was awful.

*death star How is Vader being incompetent epic?

Yet still bad. Vaser wasn't perfect, he was incompetence

Yet still bad

Just because they weren't in the originals in itself doesn't mean that they had to die. They weren't even mentioned in the originals.

Yet still bad

What was said to hint the cost?
