Everything GREAT About Rogue One: A Star Wars Story! 

Better make that 50 wins...

oh my sweet summer child......

HerHollyness that scene was freaking amazing but one thing bugs me why couldnt vader use the force on that ship and prevent the rebels from escaping?

HerHollyness he passed out on the button.

RedArmyRockstar everyone did

Everyone apart from attention seeking critics did! Some evidence to how much of a badass Vader was.

this is why i dont listen to critics or anyone else for that mater i was giggling like a little school boy when that saber lit up. oh and loved batman v superman and the suicide squad all were marvelous.

#1. Re-Watched the Darth Vader Part of this video 13 times. #2. The Villain Fans dreamed About........ (Showing my age) I (Mostly) Had Nightmares about Vader! (SW: 5 Years old. Empire: 8 Years old. Jedi: 11 Years old.) #3. If that scene or something like it (back in the day) was in the Original Trilogy, those movies would have been R-Rated. However, #4. We 1970s and 80s' kids to teenagers Imaged Vader (A lost art with most kids today) doing a "Rogue One" Style Massacre of rebel solders at Echo Base on Hoth (Empire). So........ 36 or 37 years later, our Imaginations and Nightmares of Darth Vader ARE Vindicated! PS.......Long live Kojima's Metal Gear! #%%#$$69 Konami!

My brother and I agreed it was our favorite part of this already spectacular movie.

That honestly puzzles me.

Some people just really don’t like popular things. The more popular something is, the worse/dumber it must be. Honestly I’m the same way about a lot of things (not the vader scene holy shit that lighting effect was mind blowing) and so I like watching this channel to keep me from being too cynical about things

@@brilliantlysplendid Yeah, get those hipsters out of here.

I guess some people are just empty inside.

It’s not so much about being a hipster, i.e. hating things because they are/became popular, it’s more like you look at really popular things like pop music (I don’t like that) and then popular youtube channels (I generally haven’t enjoyed those) and there is a trend that makes you think that popular things must be for people who aren’t yourself. Also, there’s something of a desire to be different. There are 7 billion people on this earth and you want to be someone who is unique, so you’re not allowed to like popular things, since that would rope you in with the popular crowd. It surely makes no sense, since as I said before, there are 7 billion people so you’re going to have a lot in common with SOMEONE, but I digress

I forget where I saw it but I think it's only at 2% power for these shots.

@@callmeshaggy5166 Damn.

I wonder at the specified order of _"...single reactor ignition..."_ Does this mean the activation of a single high-impulse reactor tied into the superlaser... ...or does it mean "Forget about any of the high-impulse systems. Power up the superlaser with energy drawn from just the main reactor core." Because 2% implies they didn't crack open the high-octane stuff. They just cranked off a shot using the starter battery, as it were.

@@BogeyTheBear I'm guessing it means the Death Star needs multiple reactors powering the superlaser for it to have enough energy to blow up a planet, while if you only use one of the reactors it just blows up a part of the planet's surface.

@@octodaddy877 Yes-- but what was that reactor? Just one of the many high-impulse reactors that are dedicated to powering the weapon? Or are they firing the weapon with _zero_ of the dedicated reactors, using just energy drawn off the main core reactor that is used to power the normal systems and hyperdrive of the Death Star?

But Does Vader can force freeze a blaster bolt and same time freeze a good guy and then kill some villagers?

BrickBuilt Creations Can Ren hold a guy on the ceiling while reflecting laser blasts and slashing trough ppl? No, he can't (no hate btw, I lovs them both)

Ormi Ader No I think not but he can stop a blaster then deflect it with his hand and jet the kill while throwing someone up on the ceiling and slashing through them then killing fifty more rebels Can Kylo ren do that ? 😂

How about we agree that Vader was awesome, and that Kylo Ren, whilst being a prodigy (it takes some power, talent, and cunning to wipe out Jedi), still can't quite compare to his grandfather. In fact, that's one of the things that irks Kylo, he wants to be so much like his grandfather, but he just can't reach his level. Hence him being seduced by Snoke.

Darth Vader>Kylo Ren

rick rogue completely agree. Didn’t like the other new Star Wars movies very much. There was so much winning and you didn’t connect with anybody. A lot of obvious politics, too.

I just finished reading it, and it's not even my favorite book by Alexander Freed. He's an awesome writer

@@yoshiyahatano6365 My favorite of his was Twilight Company. I loved it because behind all the not-moons exploding and other heroic moments, the Rebellion was made up of normal people who fought, killed, and died. No one was guaranteed to survive and Howler, Charmer, and Roach, among others, were no exception. A very gritty and well written book imo.

I love that book! My second-favorite novelization of the movies (right behind ROTS)!

@@SFisher1993 The prequels did have good novelizations, which... almost makes them more bittersweet for me. They kind of leave me with a sense of what could have been with the prequels. Not that I'm a hater of the prequels, just someone who was old enough to be let down by their execution when they came out, and I'm not sure that reading the novelizations before I saw the movies exactly helped XD (always felt weird that they released the novelizations... even the audiobooks before the movies came out)

Yes!!! Have read through the novel many times, never get tired of it. I loved the metaphor about the bunker in Jyn's mind.

@@coolmanyeet4031 no, 55. It went from 99 to 154

Vader is an incredibly dramatic character. Anakin's mannerisms show through that mask frequently and there are plenty of instances of it in Rebels and the comics. In one scene in Rebels, Vader is standing on top of his TIE Advanced as it descends below the surface of a planet. Not only is he flying his starship with the force, his cape is flapping in the wind, except, he's below the surface of a planet and there is no wind. He's using the force to make his cape flap. Because's he's dramatic and all about theatrics. Because he's Anakin Skywalker.

@@shredforceone Couldn't be truer. It's probably the only reason Anakin lived in Vader. Why he could come back. Not to mention Ahsoka and his encounters in Rebels. All feeding to Anakin overcoming the mask that was Vader and stopping Palpatine.

Vader was dropping one liners left and right even in the OT

@@Gxact And then having a son, having someone he could manage to love again, allowed Anakin to fully come through and destroy both Palpatine and Vader

That "scar from lion king" vibe is funny when you remember that Vader's voice is also Mufasa's

Favorite movie of mine and my dsd too! It is the most adult film of all of star wars in my opinion and I think it is why my dad likes it too. Cassian Andor killing his terrified friend in the ally is the most realistic and dark moment in Star Wars. I know there are other dark scenes but here you have a innocent human character killed on camera. In contrast to Anakin killing the children off camera.

Empire Strikes Back is better

Just like the younglings

SleeplessRonin I remember my jaw dropping gasping and having a HUGE shit eating grin on my face.

How the hell could anyone hate it??? It's everything I ever wanted to see from Vader, I personally never really thought Vader was that great of a villain I always felt it was more his voice & his look that made him so iconic. But after watching the hallway scene I would definitely say he's one of the greatest! THAT was the Vader I wanted to see, the Vader in his prime & it went above & beyond my expectations!

If you want more, just read the Vader 2016 comics. Thank me later.

Yes, the Darth Vader hallway sceme was the best Darth Vader scene of all time, pure hate and pure evil.

The scene was really badass and cool to watch but kind of tonally dissonant. It felt a bit like fan service at the expense of the tone and story of this film. I didn't hate it but it was bit weird hearing people cheer a villain slaughtering good guys after what was supposed to be the downbeat emotional climax of the film.

Frankly, you're the most decent commenter I've ever read. A fellow hopeless romantic, so that makes me biased. But I don't care. Force be with you, sister.

Each Rogue One squad member dying one by one hurt me and still hurts just as much when I rewatch it. I was crying. Rogue One without the Vader scene was a 10/10. This movie went way beyond my expectations.

He's a Skywalker. Those reckless idiot's are the biggest drama queens in the galaxy. Except, perhaps Obi-Wan "I'll dramatically drop my Jedi robe before any fight" Kenobi

@@exasperatedsigh1432 Obi-Wan was so committed to that drama he even did it as he died

The cape is fluttering from the air escaping the ship...(I guess.)

This is not the first time he's done this. It also happened in Rebels when he was standing on top of his TIE as it descends below the surface of a planet, cape flapping in the wind. Except there is no wind and he's flapping his cape with the force, in addition to flying his starship with the force. He's dramatic as hell and all about theatrics. Because he's Anakin Skywalker.

Vader loved a good Drama.

but my light saber is yello- ow ow ok sorry ow I'm sorry ow stop!

@@GamingWithCalvin1 Lol!!!!

ZAFARIA RED RED RED

Those weren't soldiers, though; they're rebels/traitors.

My first ever lighsaber was Vader's, one of those plastic ones that is semi-retractable. I've had it for years and the entire saber part came out of the hilt. I still have it and I refuse to throw it away, I want to fix it because I love that old thing.

Andor and Rouge One are 2 of the best I think of all the movies and shows. Short of Empire Strikes Back.

DarknessIsTheTruth if there's nothing for old fans, people cry. If they do something like the Vader scene, people complain about "fan service" or "pandering". What happened to just enjoying movies? Everyone has to be a critic these days.

I'd rather watch vader buying some skittles from the snack-machine on the death star, than him being a total badass with slaughterin his way through rebel scum.

not... to be serviced? yeah, i dont get it either.

I guess when people complain about fan service they simply prove that they are in fact not a true fan.

I don't like fan service when it's blatant and doesn't belong in the film whatsoever. Reason why I liked the Darth Maul Obi-Wan duel in Rebels was they didn't make it pander to fans at all. But the hallway scene is really a prime example of how much of a ruthless demon Vader is to the Rebels

Except for that twat who called it "the worst sequence in the history of the Star Wars." Also, "the Star Wars"

Actually, it's because there are people who are terrible enough to honestly say that they didn't like that scene, that proves to me that Humans will ALWAYS have wars and probably end up causing our own extinction... I'm mean, fucking seriously, that Vader hallway scene was awesome! And there are people who say they hate it? Fuck off. That's not even an optional opinion from my perspective.

i bet the people that hated that scene are fucking purists who never enjoy anything new and just stick to the original like its the best thing ever... looking back at the OT it had some cringy stuff

I totally agree. It's CLEAR who vader was and that he didnt fuck around when it came to killing rebels and Jedi. To FINALLY see that on the big screen in such a way was amaZing. They want to hate it just to hate it. They have no real reason.

If you are a fan of Star Wars, than you'll praise the Vader scene. Most of the fans who said they hate it, are just original Trilogy fans, who can't go open minded into new SW films. Since they are not the ORIGINALS. I love the Vader scene, as it shows us the real lord Vader!

With an attitude like that, Dylan's got a great head start on leading a forgettable life.

Harrison Mcarthur absolutely agree. In the book Lords of the Sith, there's a bit where Vader boards a ship operated by the Twi'lek resistance and I remember reading it and thinking "too bad we don't have a movie version of this." Then of course Rogue One gave us that. I mean, when Vader closes to melee range, that first brutal overhead cleave almost makes me flinch myself. And the guy who grabs the plans just kind of stands there for a second because even though there's a lightsaber sticking out of the door, he's just in shock.

Then it's a shame you evidently lack both.

Harrison Mcarthur Agreed!! Totally!!

Dylan Murphy just making sure you know that "critical thinking" doesn't mean "criticizing everything."

If you haven't yet you should go watch the clone wars. There are many episodes mostly focused on the war

@2020Surya S315 oh yea no idea why i did that, edited now

I love how it puts the focus on the "little guys" in the fight. They were not powerful Jedi nor have strong political influence.

The more that Star Wars has focused on Jedi, the worse it has got. Seems backwards, but these films work better when there are less Jedi and very little explanation of them. It forces the scripts to focus on the human element, which is what makes it great and dovetails nicely into war movies, war is hell, and sacrifice.

@@ccricers My favourite episodes are the clone episodes. (see the one with the traitor Jedi and the training planet under occupation) So fucking good.

It was from the thrusters on the ship that left seconds before.

Noah Daglio My dad was 8 as well when he first saw ANH :P

hahahah

I was 7 when I saw the original ‘77 Star Wars in the theater, and my name is Chad !! 🤪

I was 3 1/2 when I saw it in early 78 (it didn't come out til much later in New Zealand). When I walked out of seeing Rogue One I said the same thing, the closest experience to what I remember from so long ago.

Fenrir Wolfe as soon as what's his face landed on the citadel I had this scene in my head.

I somehow still read this in my head with Howard Wolowitz's voice.

How does one top Princess Bride? One does not. No film will ever top Princess Bride.

They made them a squadron

It's actually a nod to/reference to the squadron Luke Skywalker would be given command of not that long after the Battle of Yavin. Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles would form Rogue Squadron, a group of rebel Pilots who would become among the elite of the Rebel Starfighter Corp. On Hoth, the pilot who finds Han and Luke is Zev, who's call sign is Rogue Two, much like Luke's in the Battle of Yavin was Red 5. Luke himself was Rogue Leader/Rogue One, as he was the squadron commander. After The battle of Hoth, Wedge would become the new leader of Rogue Squadron, as Luke would go on to further his Jedi studies and found the New Jedi Order. Here in this movie, I think it's Gareth's way of giving a nod to the fans, because Rogue Squadron in the EU were well known for their exploits both in the air and on the ground in aiding the Rebel Alliance, alongside other squadrons like Wraith Squadron. So he created the idea that they started off with Jyn and Cassian on Scarif.

@@TechLeafRanger oh cool, that’s pretty interesting thank you!

@@dandaropa You're welcome. star Wars always has been one of my all time favorite franchises, thanks to my dad and mom. I grew up on the original VHS's of it, before the special cuts, and I spent a lot of time dreaming about being an X-Wing pilot. So stuff related to all the spacecraft and vehicle battles, I dive into whenever I can. Honestly, that's part of what i love most about this movie, is the entire Battle of Scarif. It's amazing from start to finish.

oooh you done goofed

Ignacio Correas the hate on TFA is just ridiculous. It shows it's plot through its visuals. From Rey's introduction scene, without saying much, I get exactly what she's about.

While I don't hate TFA, I do see a lot of problems with it, the sory elements are way to similar to A new Hope, Rey is a bit of a Mary Sue, Leia huging Rey instaed of Chewie and other things. But still while watching it I had my fangirl moments and all things considert a good time I never loved the movie and I never started hating it with the backlash. I liked Rouge One a great deal more actually, it is my favorite Star Wars movie since Jedi, but still the Characters are not very well flashed out ( and there are so many of them to get to know in just one movie). But I loved K2SO and I think Alan Tudyk did a brilliant job. All in all I can see why people would dislike either movie.

Ignacio Correas f

Well, the thing about TFA is that, as cool as it is, it does commit some serious sins, of which copying the ANH material is by far the biggest. It made the movie too predictable. The second biggest sin is that the big bad guy isn't very big and bad due to some unforeseen happenstances (being mentally weak, getting injured). We measure the heroism and the struggle of the protagonist by the power of the antagonist and the terror he causes. In the end all we know is that Kylo was unlucky and is a crybaby, while Rey didn't really get tested. So they were both weak, that's not very exciting in the final battle of a movie. Yes, there's also the First Order with their big fuck off space gun, but there's a problem with that - Rey had little to no control over her destiny, as I'll explain in a moment. By far the biggest heroes in the movie are Finn and Han Solo. Han faces Kylo, risking his life and testing his emotional strength, because he thinks Leia might be right, which gives him hope and courage. Finn fears the First order with every fiber of his body, but he decides to quit running and picks up the sword against all odds because of his beliefs. Now that's a strong man! The third sin is that Rey is inconsistent, partially because her motives are unclear. On Takodana she tries to convince Finn to stay and fight, then after seeing visions she says to Maz "I don't want any part of this". So she wants Finn - who wants to run from the war - to be a hero, but she wants to run from her destiny herself? Uh-huh Rey, you fail, sit down. After that, most things that happen to her are a result of the plot moving forward, her decisions are largely irrelevant. Then Han dies, and somewhere out there there's Luke, but why would Rey care? Didn't she want to escape the whole thing and go back to Jakku? What happened to that? So after the whole debacle her motives don't make sense, and it remains unexplained. Now, I know that the fourth sin is very controversial. Some people say that Rey is too skilled, others say that it was very much the same with young Luke Skywalker. I'm torn on the issue. I can live with it, but I think her abilities could've been made more believable. Ah whatever, it's fine. Lets say both Luke and Rey are too skilled, I'm ok with that :) It's also the reason why I'm convinced that Rey is Luke's daughter. She has to be, her powers don't make sense otherwise. I just would've liked it if her powers got more acknowledgement in the movie. If I was Rey's companion I'd constantly be wondering who the fuck she is and why she can do all these things. The fifth sin is absolutely undeniable: Captain Phasma should be imposing, but she's a laughing stock. Why does she lower the shields? She should just refuse and risk getting killed. This was so bad, terrible, unacceptable. I'm removing one whole point out of ten from my personal rating just because of that one scene. Now, TFA does some things absolutely right. As in many other SW movies, the robot unit - BB-8 - almost steals the show. It's my favorite character. General Hux was my second favorite. It's amazing how well he played the villain. The Millennium Falcon chasing scene was incredible, one of my favorites. And the opening scene with Kylo and the stormtroopers, just superb. Han Solo meeting Leia, loved it. The big fuck off planet destruction scene followed by Hux's speech was mostly how I would envision it. I could go on, but I'm too lazy right now. It's a great movie, it just commits some big sins, that's all.

I hate TFA with passion. There is not a single original bit in it. 60% of it is A New Hope ripoff, 40% of it is elements outright stolen from Legends, just named differently or in a slightly different coat of paint, including the characters, which happen to unfortunetly be flattened - they took rich and complex characters from Legends and made them Mary Sues or completly two-dimensional tropes. When I left the theater I thought "I've seen all of this already". Sure, it was visually impressive, but we don't watch movies for visuals alone, right? On the other hand, Rogue One has to be one of my favourites.

How are you liking the series now that most of it is out?

@@jackryan8938 The series itself is brilliant. It's probably the best series Lucasfilm has put out with Mandalorian coming in very close behind. In regard to my earlier comment though the problem is that the show isn't really about Andor despite being named after him. It's like Mad Max: Fury Road. Things kind of happen to him but it's not really his story. He's reactive not proactive. You know? Like Luthen came looking for him. Luthen paid him to help with the heist. He got thrown in jail for being in the wrong place. Things happen around him more than to him and I'm none the wiser how he got from where he is now to where we meet him at the start of Rogue One. Presumably the final episode of season 1 will have him actively join the rebellion since I assume Luthen would kill him otherwise. Season 2 is supposed to be set up with the same structure, having 3 episode mini arcs only between each block it jumps forward a year so that the final episode of season 2 is supposed to flow right into the first scene in Rogue One. Hopefully season 2 will have more answers regarding Cassian himself. As far as seeing the inner workings of the Empire and the early days of the Rebellion I love it. That's probably more words than you wanted. If you make it to this bit I'll ask you the same. What were you expecting before it started and does it live up to them or is is a let down and if it's different do you like what they've done?

@@uosdwiSrdewoH it far exceeded what I was expecting, I was initially surprised that someone who I thought was a throwaway character was getting their own series but they did an amazing job. I wish this level of thought was put into kenobi or book of boba. Instead of making another starwars series they created a unique and full story with starwars stuff in the background, they didn’t force cameos or fan service just for the sake of it. I actually think I enjoyed this more than Mando season 1.

NebulaPond what about vader using the force to make his cape billow moodily in the vacuum of space?

I figured that was some of the rebel capital ship's atmosphere venting into space past him. A nice touch, actually.

NebulaPond was it an abandoned tube station? Because I've read that filming on active stations is illegal.

Excellent work here

12:11 for the one about Red 5

Chris Jackson my 2nd fav

I do not disagree at all, but half the reason this movie is so fantastic is BECAUSE of all the other movies, sometimes I feel like it's hard to really compare the different star wars movies cause for the most part you can't have one without the other, they've all built off each other into something that shaped the century

For me if say fourth as for me all the OT are flawless, then revenge of the sith and the this, but to be honest it is really hard to decide which if all of these i like best.

For me it's right behind the greatest Star Wars movie, The Empire StrikesBack. Ever since I saw it, I have said that Rogue One is the Star Wars movie, for those of us who grew up on the Original Trilogy, deserved. I respect your opinion. And glad to see others loving this dark but grandiose war movie.

Chris Jackson I agree!!! Same here

I mean, Vader dropped one liners through the entire ot, so don’t understand why people think it’s out of character for him

@@christianlarssen9046 also does the same thing in the comics. One of my favorite Vader likes is „all I’m surrounded by is fear and dead men“ right before slaughtering hundreds of rebels that were surrounding him.

"ally" is a strong word. asset might be a little closer. Liability is probably the most accurate

Vader has no allies...

Exactly.

He uses that hate to make himself more powerful. It is also a place to reflect.

It may even rival Darth Maul's hate bubbling xD

Its more like he is a phoenix.He rose from his own ashes.

BizarreHD i

it's also the place he thought Padme had betrayed him and where he thought he had killed her, a place where Anak in died and Vader was born. a place where his painful past fills him with hate and anger and the Darkside can flow freely within him.

😂😂😂😂😂 K2SO was the best comic relief in Star Wars ever!!! K-2SO: You’re letting her keep it? Would you like to know the probability of her using it against you? It’s high. Captain Cassian Andor: Let’s get going. K-2SO: It’s very high.

K2 and chirrut were my absolute favorite characters, a sarcastic droid that isn’t just helpless and is absolutely done all the time with these rebel shenanigans but doing it anyway because his boss said to, and a blind badass trusting entirely in the force to guide every action he took, they were amazing

ALAN FRICKIN TUDIK as K2SO was A-MA-ZING

RIP K2SO

It was unexpected

It is so accurate and that Vader scene gives the same emotions as when Long Night of Solace was destroyed and immediately any hope of victory was crushed by a covenant armada.

@@enclavesoldier769 That Vader scene must have been horrific for the rebels.

Accurate

What line? How does it carry more weight? What does Return of the Jedi have to do with Rogue One?

@@andymiller6661 "Many Bothans died to recover these plans." They likely did the mission knowing what happened to the crew that went for the plans the first time and the Empire likely increased security since then.

@@FlyinMunky The two are mostly unrelated. And the bothans died because of the info that the emperor was at Endor.

Disney PC quota is always given to minorities. Chirrut might be gay for no reason? So whenever Asians make friends they must be gay? WTF? Lando Calrissian is Pansexual now? Interracial relationship must be between nonwhites only? Finn and Rey can't get together, he must get distracted away from it with stupid Rose Tico who Disney cared so little about, they got a random minor actress from CollegeHumor with no experience in film. Oh, and Asian Rose Tico has to shoulder the Fat Quota.

My personal ranking is that it's the 2nd best Star Wars

I think that Rogue One is the best because its the only movie I ever got lost in and had such an obvious ending catch me by surprise. TBF I was only an infant for Empire's initial release.

KitKatHD the original trilogy as well as revenge of the with was better than rogue one and I might even say force awakens was better but still it’s a good Star Wars movie

@@Cubby9196 Depends on what your 1st ranked SW movie is.. but I might completely agree with you.

Norman Roberts Yuuuuup

+

Agreed!

Rogue one: second favorite movie is SW 5/5 graphics 5/5 action scenes

@truongtu0191 I didn't.

Number of reasons. For one there isn't that much happening. It's an incredibly long story that largely boils down to "That's why the deathsstar could be taken down like that". Then some of the CG stuff, like Tarkin and Leia. Then some of the character undermining. Leia got pretty much all of the credit for stealing the death star plans, yet she just sat on the ship and had one of the guys who actually stole them hand her a thingy with the plans on it. Same with Tarkin. He was portrayed as the guy who orchestrated the death star in the first place, but now we learn that he merely pinched the idea from some other imperial admiral. And Darth Vader was on the ship behind the tantive IV, watching it leave, yet Leia just five minutes later tried to tell him that she is on a peaceful mission and a part of the galactic senate, when Vader just saw her ship taking off from with the death star plans inside, yet he doesn't call her out on it. The movie basically makes a lot of the original characters seem way less impressive than they were, and a lot of people didn't like that.

People dislike it because the first chunk of the movie jumps to fifty planets and is alright movie. People love the movie because of everything after they get to scariff

@@TheRoboticLog A lot of the reason you stated is part of the character's motive, I could try to explain it to you but there is other sources that can do much better job. Honestly Tarkin CGi is incredible for what they have been given. Lastly, if your gonna complain what makes character makes less impressive please check with your sources to confirm your ideas. Also nothing wrong with a slow movie.

Except exhaust ports aren't flaws.

Nice idea!

That would be funny

If you want that, rogue one is for you!

I mean, his odds were true. They all died in the end XD

@@MeTaLISaWeSoMe95 And also the only time where the line of "I've got a bad feeling about this" gets interrupted, and everyone dies... Coincidence?

We were on the virge of greatness, we were this close. Are we blind?! Deploy the garrison!! Farming? Really? Man of your talents? We stand here admist my achievement!! Not yours!!

@@rsdillbot3646 and this part of that one conversation "You can stand, to see the Imperial flag, reign(or rain, idk) across the galaxy." "It's not a problem if you don't look up"

Weeeel, they knew about his "force connection" he aint a user but i BET he can basicaly remember the way they walked without any error through that, so realy they should have liftet him up. Force user is one thing, but everyone has a conection with it AND can listen to it. Thats whats basicaly called Serene Mind, some of us call that state Ultra instinct these day's, a level where your completly calm, and thats whats needed to listen to the living force anyway. Wield it is a different thing, listen to it as it tells you things is something else, and jirot did listen. Being striped of his eyes (wich would be imposible given bacta can heal ANYTHING in SW) he uses his other senses, and for his hearing he needs to be calm AF.

Mine is ‘ that was a lot of explosions for two people blending in.’ K2SO had the best script in the film, IMO.

Lol yes

That scene shows his incompetence

@@andymiller6661 do you just not like fun? It’s Darth Vader going all Darth Vader on a bunch of helpless rebels, what more would you want?

@dybo3793 I love fun. I want him to be competent and to do his job, instead of playing with his food

He should be made to apologise - then we get to go: "Apology accepted, Captain Needa." 😎

Who said this?

I was gonna say I totally agree with you, then I read NoobsailerRBH remark, and laughed hard and sound as never before...

No, this critic should be fired literally. Then he could start looking for a new job.

wait.. some people didn’t absolutely love the hallway scene? how is that possible

I got real tired of cinema sins after YEARS of his existence :/ some of the sins just seem stupid and pointless, not as many critiques and the plot or acting and stuff. It seems like he did more of that back when he started but now he does more snarky commenting and it makes me not enjoy watching him anymore.

exactly what ive always thought!! its so much better just haveing a more positive approach to it

Gravestone999 well that is my comment, so I don’t know what to tell you.

Gravestone999 it was probably just me commenting on another cinemawins video

Sins is a comedy but he does point out real critics and if its a movie you like the critics could bug you but I agree this is new and refreshing but I like when both do bad movies or publicly known bad movies ones laughing at the flaws the other is seeing the little moments its like a ying yang lol

Shogun_Turnip Yup.

He never seemed that threatening to you in the original films? Seriously? Within the first 10-minutes of him appearing on screen, he lifts a man into the air with one hand and crushes his throat! He uses the force to strangle another man! In EMPIRE, he chokes several men to death using the force, and he stops blaster bolts with his hand and uses the force to snatch Han's weapon away from him! He wasn't flashy, but he was still pretty damn threatening.

Darren Z I think he meant that the special effects back then were limited, so it was hard to see him as powerful.

To be fair, I could've worded that better. I meant to say that he was threatening, I just think that the way the hallway scene was filmed kind of felt like it put me in the rebels shoes. It's a fairly subtle difference, but if I was a rebel in ANH, if I saw Vader I'd probably be like, "It's Vader! Run!". Whereas Rogue One's is like "Oh God! I'm going to die! Please Help!" Hope that clears things up a bit.

Travis Donald Stanley I'm pretty sure they did know it was Vader, seeing as he is kinda their Enemies Apprentice, and is the one who the Emperor sends to do the dirty work.

And arguably, if there was one character in all of Star Wars (at least, before the Marketing Trilogy) that could do with being a little more unsettling, it would be Tarkin.

Agreed. Also. when i first saw the movie in I believe 2016 was, when it came out, i lost my shit when we first saw him because i wasn't really aware that you could just cgi faces (i was 15 then) and thought it looked really good. Only after, when I learned that it was cgi and some people thought it looked weird, i realized that it looked weird at times. So, what i'm trying to say is, even if it's not perfect, it really doesn't ruin the movie experience, at least the first time around.

People always focus on the CGI, but I think Guy Henry's mocap and voice work was great!

I thought the CGI Tarkin worked better than the CGI Leia. Mostly because they kept Tarkin in the shadows. Your brain knew something was off but couldn't pinpoint it. Leia fully bathed in light and you can pinpoint it clearly.

@@Banzai51 I don't really see anything wrong. Then again I'm not a details guy. The only thing that stuck out was the shiny look of his forehead. For some reason that made it look like a game cutscene. Too smooth.

I find myself repeating this line randomly throughout the day 😂😂

I also really liked this line as a kid because my name is Garrison and it made me so happy to hear my name in a Star Wars movie

i was watching a youtube clip of that scene with subs on and found my new favorite line "Are we blind? Deploy the garbage can"

Yet still bad. You were glad to see Vader being incompetent?
