ROGUE ONE | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION 

It's not blurry, it's soft focus! =)

Thanx for saying that. I uped my laptop to 1080 and ran a speed test, I was about ready to fling my pc onto the street when I read ur post. 😅

It still turned out well!

Hugs sweet lady. We all have things not go as planned. Love your reactions.

I assumed my eyes has gone all wonky.

Same. For a short time I was twelve years old again and the joy I experienced in 77 returned.

Somehow it adds to the fun seeing people who haven't known the ending for forty years get to experience this movie.

Ditto! I felt the same way for both films. In watching Rogue One and getting to the end when you realize it's connecting with A New Hope, my heart jumped for joy back to my childhood and seeing Star Wars for the first time (when it came out in 77).

I was there in '77 as well. My 8th birthday party!

have you seen "Andor"?

Before Disney went all in on the "Not so Secret Gay Agenda"

@@lokithecat7225 What does that have to do with anything?

@@lokithecat7225 Disney didn't go on a secret gay agenda. They refused to stay silent about the political rights efforts to take away gay people's right to not be treated like second class citizens.

@@FreddieHg37 Get Woke, go Broke. Because you start replacing competent people, with Tokens and insert "Not so Secret" Gay nonsense everywhere, even if it makes a Garbage Product.

@@lokithecat7225 Pretty sure they are a looooong way off being broke you sensitive petal.

He's really quite formidable - the amount of subtle emotion he gets into K2's simple words when Jynn gives him a gun is really impressive...

I like too when Dawn quoted K2 SO before even seeing the movie when she was talking about her chances of being confused and said " the chances are high " and repeated it , not the exact quote but enough to make me smile ..

You have to see him Alan in his new show - Resident Alien. Brilliantly Funny....

@@Sillydogification Oh, yeah. Resident Alien is teriffic!

His best role, Hoban Washburn in firefly.

Yeah - Dawn totally missed that , it was done really well !

@@jonsey156 I missed it too, the first time I saw this movie...and I saw it in the theater!

Yet it's still bad.

@@andymiller6661 That's a deep cut review. I like how you weave through the semiotics and the narrative structure of the film, not to mention the apt critique of the mise-en-scene.

@@mysticsaxophone4181 I can go even deeper.

@@andymiller6661 I'm not sure if my mind can take it. Psychoanalytic semiology? Do you intend to use Peirce's or De Saussure's theories as a basis?

@@mysticsaxophone4181 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. 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.

I'm with you on this.

Same here. In my opinion Empire Strikes Back is the best sequel ever made. Turns the whole thing upside down, its really dark, moves the plot forward and every single character has development. Brilliantly done. The other 2 on my top 3 is Terminator 2 and Aliens. Not a bad group if you ask me, all done 20+ years ago lol The second on my list is this movie then Episode 3. The sequels were a mistake, its like a turd in a bed, you dont want to see it but you cant forget that its there. The only new stuff in those movies are the various new ways they come up with on how to assasinate beloved legacy characters. Absolutely disgusting.

Clone Wars, Rebels, and Bad Batch are required and highly recommend before watching the live action shows excluding a few episodes

@@gionova1 I didn't watch those but I know there are many references to them. Also I forgot about rebels.

Except if you pay close attention it doesn’t match with the opening crawl really or the dialogue in episode iv.

Thank you. I'd never seen that Reimagined video until now. I had no idea it existed. That was EPIC. I thoroughly enjoyed that. I watched Star Wars as a kid in 77 and I was mesmerized with those images. That video gave me a bit of that again.

I totally agree that Rogue One is the best of all the Disney made Star Wars movies, but it still doesn't make it a good one in my opinion. It suffers from the same lack of originality as most of the prequels because it's just describing how a thing we know has happened did happen, done by people who against all odds makes it to the right place in the right time to push a button or pull a lever, just to be blown up after that. It almost felt like they didn't want any essential characters involved in this to survive, so it wouldn't complicate further productions.

And speaking of the reimagined Scene 38; imagine how epic it would be if Disney remade ep. IV-VI. Wouldn't that be fantastic? They could make all the characters CGI and it would be so good! I'm just joking sarcastically, but writing this made my innards churn with unease. It's just a matter of time I think.

No. Rogue One is the *only* Disney Star Wars worth watching. Everything else makes the prequels seem good.

I like it but preferred the original script where some of them survive if just because it causes some issues with later films.

Yet still bad.

the problem is those characters in the old extra universe had some meaning now they all die here. I think the script shouldn't have been rewritten yeah its more impactful that they all die but it creates some issues even in the old films.

@@jacksmith-vs4ct AGAIN, you have absolutely no clue what a War Movie is.

@@jansenart0 26 May 2019 - "It's [Star Wars] a family soap opera, ultimately. We call it a space opera, but people don't realize it's actually a soap opera - George Lucas. Heard of him?

@@lpgibbo7463 After what he did with the prequels, it became obvious as to why Gary Kurtz kept him on a short leash. He's a thief of creativity who was only effective when someone was in a position to tell him "fuck no".

Rogue One is basically The Dirty Dozen in space, and it's awesome for it

more like the only good movie they made...

Grand Moff Tarkin isn't directly military. Moffs are actually regional governors.

What admiral was in A New Hope? And are you referring to this scene? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-k_4_NNHRjb4.html

Another one missed, I think, is the character beside the one “with nuts on his chin”, is the same one in the canteen who threatens Luke, saying he’s got the death sentence on however many planets, then loses an arm to Obi-Wan. I could be wrong…

@@katyb6979 Yeah, I think they are meant to be the same characters. "He doesn't like you. I don't like you either!"

I love Red Dwarf 👍

Yet still bad. Vader being incompetent is great?

Agree, to fully enjoy from this point on you you need to watch the clone wars (the movie to start then the series)

That’s a wormhole. But I’d gladly follow!

This movie is bad.

You like bad characters and movie making?

Why?

Great movie. The Dirty Dozen is one of my favorites as well

Why?

It's the only movie in a franchise called Star WARS that actually feels like a war movie.

Yet still bad.

@1984 is now. indeed, we have had decades and watcehd them hundreds of times so yeh these little things are mainly missed, like with Peter Cushing (which is a shame that she doesnt know him). :)

There's no movie called Rouge One. *Star Wars

@@andymiller6661 I was going to correct my mistakes but I kind of like how it sounds now. I am so glad there are people like you to point these things out. Thank god lol 😂

So bad, then.

@@andymiller6661 I was just gonna block you for being an insane contrarian asshole, but go head and find me one literate negative review of Empire.

Yes, I agree. That would just require people who understand not just the story but the fandom have more saying than people who did last Trilogy. I mean it wasn't bad but it wasn't treu Star Wars. Biggest problem was final part. You can clearly feel the tone shift from last minute changes. All the build up and... the lame end. More studio intervenes, more Star Wars will fail. Case: Solo.

Nothing strange about saying Rogue One being bad. Vader was breathtakingly incompetent.
