I see "Rogue One" as the best made Star Wars film. It was for adults. There was no pandering to children via cute and cuddly aliens and creatures. The story, script, acting and drama were serious. K2SO provided some good levity, so the story wasn't always somber and depressing. Felicity Jones was outstanding as Jyn Erso. All the actors gave great performances. Film making wise, I give "Rogue One" an A+.
The only reason Star Wars is (quotation) for kids is cause there’s no blood. Lightsabers-so hot it evaporates your blood, blasters-beams boils you blood, etc. saying it’s for kids is kinda dumb I don’t get it honestly. Clone wars: we see clones dying left and right and we see how the clones are forced to become slaves and kill their Jedi generals while aware of their actions but can’t stop it Prequel: we see anakins mother die in his arms and her head literally falls as it becomes lifeless, we see anakin get burned and getting surgery while still awake Originals: we see a planet literally get blown up twice (rouge one which ties in) Sequels: it was bad but they destroyed multiple planets (4-5) I strongly find people saying Star Wars is for kids extremely inattentive
@@dwbi16 ... I never said that Star Wars is for kids. I said that "Rogue One" didn't have any pandering to children via cute and cuddly creatures. When the first two Star Wars films were released, they were for all audiences. Lucas then started adding SOME children-friendly elements to the Saga. He didn't make all of it for children.
@@Stogie2112 no I didn’t mean to imply that I’m just saying that Star Wars has always been violent it’s just simply not blood and but we do see people blow up and etc. Other that I was just saying how I think of it and personally don’t know why people say that
@@Dakblasta It is so good that I suspect that after it was filmed, someone accidentally put it Kathleen Kenndy's outbox instead of her inbox such that it went to distribution before they could DEI it to crap, and Disney was too busy making failing Star Wars attractions at Disney World to be bothered to correct it.
Rogue One and Andor are basically the only ones I love other than the original 3 (Theatrical release versions) I basically hate all the other star wars. Andor is my favorite other than return of the jedi and empire strikes back.
When Senator Organa says, "I would trust her with my life," it's not only a reference to Leia, but also a refernce to him being blown up on Alderaan because Leia wouldn't give up the location of the rebel base in Ep IV when she gets captured. He trusted her to keep the secret and died for it.
In the first appearance of Darth Vader, he was in a Bacta Tank. He used to do it, to heal his body for the serious injures in Mustafar. And as you can see, he constructed his dark tower in the same volcanic planet.
When Mon Mothma asks Bail Organa about the hidden jedi, it´s referring to Obi Wan Kenobi. And when he said "I would trust her with my life" he is talking about Princess Leia, his adopted daughter. He arranged the plan to bring the plans to Obi Wan through Leia.
In the rebel attack to Scarif, the Red Five pilot died trying to enter in the base. The rebellion chose later a new red five pilot... Luke Skywalker as we witnesses in episode IV and the following. For me, this is one of the best Star Wars films ever. The whole film is incredible: complex characters, narration... and the last fifteen minutes a brutal rollercoaster. Darth Vader here show us how terrific he could be.
13:28 The Death Star does not destroy any planets in this movie. They didn't fire with full energy capacity, they only used (comparatively) low energy - enough to wipe out locations on the planet's surface but not enough to destroy the planets. The only planet that is destroyed by the Death Star is Alderaan in Episode IV. 21:52 No he is no Jedi. This is Bail Organa, the representative of Alderaan in the Senate. And Leia's adoptive father. He never was on the Jedi Council; he was in the movies because of his position as senator.
Remember in the first Star Wars Episode 4 A New Hope when the Deathstar plans are turned over, during the briefing the commander gave credit to everyone here when she said many good people gave their lives to get the plans to them. What a great homage to those who made the first series possible.
I love this movie. Now y'all need to watch the series Andor which leads up to this movie. IMO, it's the best of the new Star Wars series. Amazing acting!
My all time favorite Star Wars movie is The Empire Strikes Back. This film and Revenge of the Sith are tied for second. Yes, Episode IV, A New Hope starts IMMEDIATELY where this movie ends. And yes, George Lucas has explicitly said that the first 6 movies were all about the redemption of Anakin.
The Alderaan destruction in the original Star Wars movie was the first full test of the Death Star. In the shots here, they specify single reactor ignition only. So it acts as a nuclear bomb or an asteroid hit.
The blast from that single reactor was as big as Kansas! 😲 We could see on Jedha how it lifted up billions of tons of the surface and swept it away like an ocean wave.
The obliterations of Jedha City and the Scarif base were more thrilling and terrifying than the destruction of Alderaan, in my opinion. Alderaan was gone in three seconds. What we saw at Jedha City and Scarif Base was much more detailed and realistic. High quality terror!
Even though it wasn’t originally in the massive trilogies rogue, one actually tail end writing into the original movie, which is now episode four a new Hope it should be a numbered 3.5
This was a really great reaction I love how they took it seriously as they watched I’m a life long Star Wars mega fan Team Jedi forever ♾️ ❤✌🏽 I’ve seen the force in real life it’s real May the force be with you
@@dylankerr2411 …. K2SO slightly reminds me of Marvin the Manic-Depressive Robot from “Hitchhiker’s Guide to The Galaxy”. Dry, sarcastic, a bit nihilistic, …and he knows that he’s smarter than everyone….😆😆
I've seen a lot of reactions to this, and you two did a great job of connecting the dots back to the previous movies. Your excitement and enjoyment with this is contagiously fun!
The "rest of" the SW movies are good, contrary to what you've been told, imo. The ppl that don't like them are the ones that are hardcore, bc the movies went in a direction different from the rest of the films. I don't like that either, but they're still worth watching. Better to see for oneself thn to let other pp tell us what to think. I've also noticed that the haters make the youtube rounds & are a lot more vocal.
If you want to watch new quality Star Wars material I highly recommend The Mandalorian. It’s a fantastic tv show with 3 seasons and it takes place 5 years after The Return of the Jedi. WAY better than 7-9. Also Andor is also great. It centers around Casian Andor before the events of Rogue One. It shows his life and how the Rebel Alliance was formed. The 3rd one I’d recommend is the Obi Wan Kenobi series. The same actors from the prequels play Obi Wan and Darth Vader/Anakin
33:08 now imagine if here there was a Immobilizer 418 Heavy Cruiser waiting for Darth Vader's command, ready to pull Leia and her CR90 corvette out of hyperspace and destroy any chance of the Rebels getting the plans.
Please make up your own mind on the rest of the sequels. They are flawed (no star war is perfect), but have good stuff in them too. They just have a lot of really loud dissenters online. It's for you to decide, no one else. 💖
Marian and Joy, I hope you watch the sequel films, and I hope you have a great time. 😊 The best thing to remember about the Star Wars films is that they're all just entertainment. All the films and TV series serve one purpose: to entertain people. Every Star Wars film has good entertainment value. The constant bickering and arguing over which films are great, good, bad, or horrible is pointless. It is not a competition. So what if some people love or hate the prequels or sequels? So what? It's just entertainment! Enjoy it all. This is the Way. That's all I have to say about that.... 🙂
If you remember, Anakin was considered "The Chosen One", the one that would bring balance to the force. The prophecy was correct, it didn't happen the way that Obi Wan and Yoda wanted, but in the end, Darth Vader was defeated by Luke and Anakin returned and killed the Emperor, bringing balance to the force, as prophesied. The last movie, "Return Of The Jedi", the "Jedi" in the title was Anakin.
Watching two Gareth Edwards movies back to back! He was the director for this and Godzilla 2014! You can definitely see how well he conveys scale in both films. He's also directing the next Jurassic World movie, so I have high hopes! Love watching your reactions and that you were able to piece the timeline and story together so quickly!
The sequels have some bad writing to be sure but i think you should still wafch them anyway. Jsut from an entertainment standpoint, they're definitely worth watching just to be in the SW universe a little more.
This is the story of the opening crawl from the original Star Wars movie from 1977. Agents have won their first victory against the Empire capturing plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon the Death Star. Best Star Wars movie outside of the original trilogoy.
At this point in time, there are no Jedi....they've all been hunted down by Darth Vadar and killed one by one. The only one Darth Vader can't find is Obi Won, who is looking over Luke to make sure he stays safe. As he says in Empire Strikes Back, "That boy is our only hope." One of the criticisms of Star Wars was, "Why would they build this awesome Death Star and allow it to have such a terrible flaw." This movie was to answer those critics. You are thinking of Darth Sidious. I find it amazing that you guys didn't notice how synthetic Leia looked. She looked plastic, as did the evil commander guy, the one who was in charge of the Death Star in Episode 4. They CGI those characters and did so pretty poorly as well.
The Death Star has three settings...Alderaan was destroyed using the third and most powerful setting. Jedha City was hit by a blast on the first setting. In the opening crawl of the original Star Wars film, it says that: "Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the Death Star, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet. Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the secret plans that can save her people, and restore freedom to the galaxy..." So, this movie is essentially giving us the details of the battle in the opening crawl and showing how the plans were stolen. It also retcons the battle at the end of the original Star Wars film, by providing an explanation for why the rebels only had a few mismatched fighters to throw at the Death Star, and why they would allow some kid from space Nebraska to pilot the Star Wars equivalent of an F-22 with no prior training. The entire rebel fleet and most of its fighters and bombers that were stationed at the base in the Yavin system were destroyed at Scarif. That means that they would have had to pull lightly wounded pilots out of the med center, recall anyone who was off duty, and ask around for any volunteers with flight experience in order to man and fly a mismatched collection of fighters and bombers that were most likely down for maintenance at the time. The squadron of volunteers in their shitty space craft named themselves, "Rogue Squadron," in honor of the volunteers who died on Scarif retrieving the plans. This also sort of brings attention to the fact that if the Death Star had destroyed Yavin IV, it wouldn't have destroyed the rebellion which, by now, was spreading rapidly. It would, however, kill off some of the most important leaders of the rebellion, such as Leia and Mon Mothma (who goes on to become Supreme Chancellor of the New Republic after the war ends.) Also, the Disney+ show, "Andor," which is a prequel to, "Rogue One," turned out to be one of the best pieces of Star Wars content available. I highly recommend.
Just so you know, you guys didn't finish Star Wars... you didn't watch the entire third trilogy and there are multiple shows as well, the best being The Mandalorian famous for "baby Yoda" and Andor, about Cassian Andor from Rogue One.
This is the only good Disney Star Wars movie. The reason why is it was actually written by John Knoll of Lucas Film who had the idea for years. Disney simply financed it. The later movies made completely by Disney are unwatchable nonsense.
Watch the T.V. Series: Andor. It's Beautiful and Amazing content for you. It would be great for your channel.Its one of the few things in Kathleen Kennedy's StarWars as Cannon.Would love to see your reaction!
This is one of the few Star Wars projects since Ep. 3 "Revenge of the Sith" to measure up to the SW franchise. Everything else has been a titanic disappointment.
Most of the lovers of the original trilogy really like Rogue One. Why? Rogue one is gritty like the original star wars. But the prequels are not nearly as gritty and dirty.
What they did to Luke and what they did to Han was unforgivable. And what they did with Leia was just plain bad. Those three characters are humans with human lifespans. There was no good reason not to make the sequels take place after they had passed on. And considering how badly Disney treats existing characters, somebody should have insisted on that.
