Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) REACTION! 

Those walkers on Scarif are AT-ACTs, a little bit larger cargo transport version of the AT-AT. It wasn't meant for combat action and wasn't as heavy armored like the AT-AT, but still could defend itself with its two laser cannons. Also the rebels used X-Wings which have more potent weapons as the Snowspeeders on Hoth had. So the rebels could defeat them easier here.

This movie was really well done and it might be my favorite Star Wars movie

The ABSOLUTE BEST of ALL the Star Wars films!

This is my absolute favorite Star Wars movie.

What I love about this movie is it explains why Vader was so pissed at the start of A New Hope, he literally saw that ship escape with his own eyes and the princess had the balls to look dead at him and say no clue mate, yotcha talking about lol

Rogue One & Andor = best prequels ever! Andor season 2 will litetally complete the (prelude) Trilogy leading into A New Hope.

Thanks, Two! 💽 Since you wondered, ANDOR began about 5 years before this. And remember when you finally get around to SOLO, it takes place a decade before this (just before OBI-WAN KENOBI). I'm glad you noticed "mustache guy" a.k.a. 'General Merrick' a.k.a. 'Blue Leader'. He's Ben Daniels. I first noticed him as 'Tony' in BEAUTIFUL THING (1996). #TwoReacts #StarWars #GarethEdwards #RogueOne #RogueOneAStarWarsStory

Different lines and scenes from Andor hit home differently after this, dont they? "You'll die fighting..." Nemik, "climb!" K2, "Climb." Andor in the prison, "no one is listening!" In R1, "think anyone is listening?" Theyre able to take out the AT-AT easier because the fighters are more heavily armed then the speeders. Fun fact, in Episode 4 they had to have Red and Gold squadrons because Blue contrasted with the Blue screens. They put Blue Squadron in Rogue One but had them get wiped out to explain why they arent present when attacking the Death Star.

Fun fact the rogue one call sign probaly inspired Luke's Rogue Squandron :D

27:13 Because on Hoth they use hover speeders that only have laser gun, good against infantry or light vehicles, AT-AT got better armour, X-Wings had a lot better laser but rebels used them to defend escaping ships.

“They are just killing everyone”. Hey it’s not Star Playtime, it’s Star Wars

27:05 Those are AT-ACT / All Terrain Armored Cargo Transport

He says _"FIND _*_HIM!"_* -- that's why he does not recognise Jyn at the end.

Yes, Melchi is the Scottish guy from the prison in Andor; and those batons on Jyn's back??? Well I think they're used as 'signal paddles' to guide ships onto the landing pad (I think they were used as the stolen shuttle landed as well as when the star fighter squadron was scrambled to strike Eadu. They're supposed to be like the LSOs from aircraft carriers.

Saw chose to stand his ground because he's known nothing but war for 20 years. First against the Separatist, then against the Empire. He's had his body and his mind carved to pieces

Yes Grand Moff Tarkin is CGI because actor Peter Cushing who played Tarkin in Episode 4 A New Hope died in 1994

The walkers at the end were easier to destroy than in Ep 5 because these were the cargo carrier version AT-ACT, not the heavily armored assault version AT-AT.

If you want more information about this time period (between Andor S1 and Rogue One), I would suggest watching Rebels 😉 It has, in the background, actually quite a few ties to Rogue One and even some to Andor S1 (and probably a lot more to Andor S2 once that is released). For example, it shows us part of the story how Mon Mothma ends up heading the Rebel Alliance When it comes to StarWars Project at the time for me: Best Movie: Rogue One Best Live-Action Show: Andor Best Animated Show: Rebels So yeah, I like that time period 😂 26:02 Bix we don't know since she was a new character created for Andor but Wedge: Oh yes, he is there almost for certain since he is already recruited for some time and the squadron he last served under (Phoenix Squadron) is also involved in that battle 34:00 That is the literal "sunrise" Luthen said he will never see. It looks like one and it was a major milestone of the Rebel Alliance against the empire since it was the first big battle they actually won against them

As others have mentioned this is top tier SW universe....

great reaction from the perspective of seeing andor first and this film that definitely has more weight to it after that show. Also will you be reacting to star wars 7-9, they are divisive but at least should be watched to finish off the saga.

But did You do The Holiday Special??? That would be a good holiday episode!!!! So bad it's good. The Animated Sequence is worth the torture. If not, The WTF did I get myself into look on Harrison Fords face is!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I LOVE ROGUE ONE!!!!!!!!

I think one of the biggest tells that Leia at the end was CGI wasn't even anything wrong with the physical details... It's that weird smile she had on that didn't seem particularly fitting for everything going on around her right then. It'd have been maybe twice as believable if they'd have just given her more of an anxious expression instead. She's literally just left a major battle and is literally running from Darth Vader, having just been handed the biggest responsibility anyone in the rebellion has ever held in their hand. Never mind Vader, who's right on her heels, getting hold of it, even if she just accidentally breaks it she dooms the galaxy and wastes all the sacrifices that were made getting it just minutes ago. But she smiles like she doesn't have a care in the world just to say "hope", because she's not real. A person would've played the role with contextual awareness, but some team assigned exclusively to animating a CGI person who says "hope" might be working without a lot of the context.

interesting that you thought about Biggs and Wedge possibly being there. Biggs would have been on Tattoonie (or on his way at least) for the deleted scenes with Luke, from A New Hope. Wedge could be there, but we don't see Red 2. (We do see Red 5 bite it, clearing the call sign, tho) You may not have noticed that Red and Gold leaders were the same actots from the original. They reused the footage and audio, plus some unused material

You need see rebels before ahsoka because ahsoka is searching for a revels character

Ok movie that make no sense to the plot. The Death Star has a fatal flaw made on purpuse. A bunch of rebels will die in order to get it. Then the Rebels can master a plan to take it down. Wonderful. And how can we do it? Easy: we need to stall an Imperial Fleet and get wrecked while a guy blessed with the force (we have a really shortage of that at that moment) put a couple of missiles to the most riciculous spot in the most guarded imperial station (yes the flaw is in there, very clever) guided and protected by another beast ghost use forcer. You understand now that acquiring the info was so vital right?

Two.... this movie is going to blow your mind. I saw it in theaters, and I'll come right out and say it: It took me back to being 10 years old, watching the original Star Wars movie (before it was A New Hope). I'll comment with some timestamps (as I do)... because there are some things you don't catch on the first viewing. I've seen this movie close to 100 times since it came out. I absolutely LOVE it! IMHO, this is the best "Disney Era" Star Wars movie to come out yet. Yes, "Solo" is good, and like I commented on another person's comment.... it's good to watch that AFTER Rogue One. Not just because it released a bit later (even though it takes place about 10 years prior to this).... but it's a more lighthearted movie/story... so it will be a nice change of pace between these really "Dark" movies/shows. 1:20 - The first season of Andor takes place 5 years before this movie. Season 2 will cover the 4 years between Season 1 and Rogue One (according to all reports we've heard). Andor Season 2 will also take place at the same time period as the animated series "Rebels", although we don't know if they will cross one another. Also.... Jyn Erso at the start of this is quite young. So there IS a "time jump", but we don't really know exactly how long. 2:00 - The "black clad" Stormtroopers are called "Death Troopers". They are similar to " US Navy Seals" in their skill levels. 2:47 - This is Saw Guerrera. He fought in the Clone Wars, and without spoilers.... he suffered a lot of loss, which is what turned him into such an extremist. You'll have to watch the animated Clone Wars series to find out exactly what I mean by this. He also appears in Rebels. You've also seen him in the Andor series (which takes place a few years prior to this movie). So you already know he's a bit "paranoid". Remember, this movie takes place (mainly) right before A New Hope. Granted, the early part of the movie is a "flashback"... and we don't know exactly where it takes place in the timeline. But considering Jyn's age.... I'd hazard a guess it's around 13 BBY. Once we get to 0 BBY, she seems to be in her early 20s. Which means she was likely born not long before the rise of the Empire and Order 66. Of course, this is just a guess..... so take it with a grain of salt. 3:45 - Actually, he saved that dude from Imperial interrogation. An interrogation that is REALLY brutal. Not that I question the guy's resolve to not divulge information... but Cassian couldn't "take the chance" that he would reveal what he knew. In "other media", we get to see how far the Empire is willing to go to in order to extract information from prisoners. That is part of the reason you can't consider the animated shows "children's shows". They can get quite brutal at times. So, killing him not only prevented the information from getting into Imperial hands, it saved the guy from having to endure the torture that would extract it. 4:05 - Yes. That's the "Imperial Pilot" that defected... but more on him later. 4:10 - It was an ancient statue of a Jedi. Fallen over and left to decay. Similar to some ancient statues here on Earth, if you think about it. 4:36 - Yavin 4.... the 4th moon of Yavin. That name should ring a bell, as it is where the Rebel Base was in A New Hope. So, at this point, we're leading into the original movie. 5:30 - Senator Bail Organa. The man who took Leia Amidala-Skywalker as his daughter. 5:55 - K2-SO became a much loved droid at this point of the movie. He's such a snarky little shit. LMAO! 6:15 - Heh... he's not checking "speeds"... he's logging incoming and outgoing ships to the base. If you watch closely, you'll see this happen in many places all over the galaxy. 6:22 - We don't know exactly everything that has happened to Saw. But it's good that you noticed that he's not fully human anymore. 7:00 - Yes. Grand Moff Tarkin's actor died in the late 1990s. However, his family (through his "estate") granted permission to use a stand in actor to do Motion Capture and overlay a digital recreation of him for this movie. For what it is, and the level of technology available at the time... it was fairly well done. At least Lucasfilm was respectful enough to ASK for permission to do it, and the family had a lot of input over the appearance. I'll grant you, even on the "big screen", Tarkin reminded me a lot of the "G-Man" from Half Life 2 in the way it was done. I overlook the obvious "CGI effects"... but that's mainly because it WAS fairly well done, I respect Peter Cushing, and am glad they were able to include him. 7:36 - No. Bor Gullet is not a Rancor (what Jabba had). While not much is actually known about Bor Gullet, it seems to be "Force Sensitive" in some way, that it can "read minds" to ensure that the person is actually speaking the truth. 8:00 - You'll have to watch the animated series' to find part of that out. But anyway, it seems that Bor Gullet will only fully scramble your mind if you're attempting to be deceitful. You'll still suffer from the "mind probe" if you're being honest..... but that effect seems temporary. But if you're lying... you're screwed. 8:20 - Actually, yes. While not the same actor(s), it was the same characters from the Cantina scene. 8:43 - Chirrut Imway. Yes, he is Force sensitive, and yes, he was raised in the Jedi Temple. However, (according to sources), he failed to become a Jedi Knight, so was posted (along with his BFF) to be a guard at the Jedi Temple on Jedha. 9:15 - Remember this little girl in a few minutes..... 9:43 - Jyn was taught a LOT by Saw Guerrera. Up to and including hand to hand combat. Jyn is a legit badass in this movie. 10:10 - You didn't include "The Slap" from that scene. Fun fact: During filming that scene, the "slap" actually connected with Cassian's face. If you rewatch it, you'll see that he covered his face, because he was laughing at the "botch". After "CUT!" was called, Alan Tudyk (K2-SO), apologized to Diego Luna (Cassian), and they both ended up laughing about it. However, it was the "best take", so it was left in the movie. 10:45 - No. He is Cirrut's BFF, Baze Malbus. I'll continue in a reply to this.

interesting that you brought up the WWII movie idea with moustache man. This really reminds me of a WWII movie I have some issues but just stupid little things. Jyn Erso is not really fleshed out. What is her life like? Is she a hardened criminal? Is she all about just revenge? What life does she want to return to should the Empire fall? We are introduced to a rebellion that doesnt really know what it is. Is it a terrorist organization? Is it a coalition of different anti Imperial interests? We know that contemporaneously with this movie, the Emperor is dissolving all pretense at democracy by dismissing the Senate - but no one is talking about that.

Rogue One: EveyONE dies.

Oh no, you skipped Solo which takes place before Rogue One. It's a fun, lighthearted Star Wars film that is a nice break from all the heavy drama of the other films before and after it.

Unpopular Opinion : Rogue One is overrated and actually a half boring half perfect Star Wars movie. The battle of Scarif in the space, air, and land is perfection. But the story and the inteoduction scene is just boring. The Vader hallway scene is absolutely what the fans want but that's what it is. A fan service. Easily the best Star Wars Movie from Disney, but not even the Top 3 SW movie of all time in my book.

It would be a real bummer if you didn't watch the Sequel Trilogy. It is a part of the Skywalker saga.

Well, to be fair, what else to call a child than "it" if you don't know the gender?
