They Did NOT Need to Hurt Our Feelings Like This!!! Rogue One Movie Reaction | First Time Watching 

The hallway scene is even better when you realize Vader switched off his breathing apparatus in order to make a dramatic entrance. The part of Anakin that lived for the drama is still in Vader

Yes, you need to watch the Andor series. The Skywalker saga is relatively clean and pretty. Rogue One and the Andor series show how costly and dirty fighting the Empire was for the ordinary people. Lots of sacrifices were necessary.

FUN FACT: in the Moff Council scene in Star Wars- Episode IV: A New Hope where Darth Vader Force-chokes Admiral Motti, there was an empty seat at the table. it is now retconned that that seat belonged to Director Krennic from THIS film. that scene took place days after the Battle of Scarif so no one was appointed to his position then.

Andor, the prequel to this amazing movie, is the best Star Wars TV show ever made. I've watched all 12 episodes twice through, and watched countless reaction videos. They never get old (I'm game if you are Nia!) Its quality adds to, and enhances Rogue One It has been nominated for the Best Drama Emmy (as well as in multiple technical categories) Its quality has often been considered as "Game of Thrones does Star Wars" - terrific writing and acting in every episode. Not a single actor is wasted - even supporting characters. They are all brilliant! It's not the usual Star Wars fare (thankfully) - but neither was Rogue One. It won't be a waste of your time, I promise!

27:09 i love Jyn's character ark, from "it's not a problem, if you don't look up" to "what chance do we have? you mean what choice do we have?" she went into that meeting swinging! this is one of my fav out of the franchise, they did a great job! great reaction, i'll sub for more! 👍

Best darth vader scene of them all!

33:46 so the actor for the original New Hope Red Leader is dead, so they used archive footage for him. But the actor for Gold Leader is still alive. So when the directors called him to see if he wanted to reprise his role as Gold Leader for this movie they thought he seemed really hesitant on the phone. Like he didn’t want to do it. So they said “just let us send you over the script and you can make up your mind. What’s your email?” And he like pauses, “uh… uhm, GoldLeader4Ever.” And the directors are like “oh, we got him.” 🤣

Oh i ugly cried in theaters watching this one, not gonna lie at all! Had me in every cubic inch of my feels that day.

And they all lived happily ever af... oh right

This is my favorite Star Wars movie ever… and if you enjoyed this I highly recommend Andor. Andor and Rogue One are the highest quality Star Wars things on film and I love them so much

I will always remember sitting in theaters, watching Chirrut die and suddenly realizing, "Wait a minute. None of these characters show up in the original trilogy. They're all about to die!! No!!!"

When you hear initially that the "orders" still stand only Saw and Jyn know that Galen set a flaw in the Death Star. And really no one knows for a fact as you saw when she tried to explain it and most didn't believe her.

There are so many Itty bitty details they pack in this movie that you could miss. It almost begs you to watch the original Star Wars immediately after. When you do you'll notice the villain, Governor Tarkin, the same Red and Gold leaders, the Rebel general Jan Dodonna as well as Mon Mothma. Even the death of Red 5, who Luke replaced.

Clones and stormtroopers are not the same people

At 42:08 when you're worrying about Krennic being 'really dead'==don't worry about that, he's about to get a coup de grace in the most fitting way possible.

So many fantastic moments this reaction. 11:53 the fake out was great. You were like oops, then oh shi..then haha 36:29 soon as you said this my heart broke for you for what you were about to experience. RIP: 36:49 K2SO 39:09 Chirrut 39:54 Bodhi 40:14 Baze 41:53 your hope for a happy ending 43:39 Jyn and Andor Just brutal. Loved your reaction to this one.

Love the reaction. The looks of realization throughout is just fab! I think this is one of the best of the Star Wars movies. The Andor series is well worth watching too.

Few people ever give credit to Admiral Raddus. "I need to speak to Admiral Raddus." "He's with his fleet." "He's going to fight."

At this point in time clones are no longer soldiers of the empire, they were all phased out. The stormtroopers are are people who willingly enlisted. Most clones were either killed off by more action after the war or put into forced retirement

As emotionally distraught as you were, that is good. If you knew ahead of time that they all died, it would not have been as meaningful or as powerful.

Yay...FINALLY at Rogue One! Been waiting doe this one!

Possibly the best moment of cinematography I saw from this movie was CUT from the movie - the trailer scene where Jin is standing at the platform and the Tie-fighter pulls straight up from off screen was an EPIC moment - no idea why that was switched out.

Yay!! I've been waiting for you to watch this one!! Darth Vader is terrifying in the cargo bay scene and I'm glad they showed how powerful he was as a Sith Lord. Now that you've seen this, go back and read the opening scroll in Episode 4, it'll give you a whole in your feelings vibe knowing this suicide mission was the Rebels first major victory over the Empire.

Saw Gerrera lost his mind along time ago.

They put "Mission First" and saved everyone - though they didn't live to see it. That's a great plot- and this was the first look at a more realistic Rebel Alliance. A perfect Star Wars movie- it introduced a bunch of misfit characters, had you fall in love with them aaaand brutally killed them off one at a time. Imagine if the original trilogy had done that? Would have been bonkers!

Nia Grand Moff Tarkin played by late Peter Cushing who died in 1994 at the age of 81. Production used new software that can superimpose any faces on any bodies similar to actual actors. They hired an actor with similar voice to Peter's voice. Actor's facial features is similar to Peter's. They did the same with Carrie Fisher aka Leia.

This is my all-time favorite Star Wars movie.

One of the most satisfying moments in all the SW movies: The Hammerhead corvette ramming a temporarily disabled Star Destroyer and smashing it into another Star Destroyer. Which is a tactic the Hammerhead type ships (from corvettes to full on destroyers) has used for over 5,000 years at that point, and it *still* flippin' works! Hammerheads slogan: "This machine kills fascists." 😁

Andor (The TV series) is one of the best things Star Wars has ever done. You have to watch it.

absolutely loved your emotional reaction to Rogue One

Fun fact: the voice actor for K2 is Alan Tudyk (Wash) from Firefly/Serenity.

Alright you are my favorite reactor now cause I feel vidicated for crying so hard at some of these movies. I am glad I am not the only one

The voice if the driod was Alan Tudeck(Wash from Firefly). This is why he left the series. He didn't want to be tied down to any series. The freedom to act or voice act in any show or movie.

FYI the reason that Saw didnt go was he was now at peace knowing he had done everything he could to destroy the Empire. Though him not being to run was also a factor 😉

This is my favorite Star Wars movie.

The Rebel Fleet left from Yavin 4-Their base. The same base Darth Vader tortured Princess Leia unsuccessfully to locate-The same base Luke Skywalker and the Rebel Squadron launched their attack run on the Death Star from, after the Imperials tracked the Millennium Falcon to it. R2-D2 and C-3PO belonged to Captain Antilles. The Captain of the starship Leia was on, fleeing from the Battle of Scarif with the plans-Enter the Episode 4. Rogue One is the bridge between Episode 3 and Episode 4.

No spoilers but Saw has been fighting his whole life. He probably saw his death as his chance at peace, especially knowing Jyn would go to carry on his legacy by bringing the information to the Alliance

The greatest Star Wars film of all time.

They made a whole movie to explain how the death star could blow up from a single torpedo shot. Which is something that SW nerds had been complaining about for decades. They also made it a hell of a good movie while they were at it.

The clones have all been decommissioned by this point. Stormtroopers are just regular people recruited from across the galaxy.

"We all love sassy droids" Oh, if only you knew who the droid in the background during the scene at 32:51 was...

12:24 this is real. Alan Tudyk (K2) actually slapped Diego Luna (Cassian) and it’s totally unscripted. And you can see Diego Luna laughing trying not to break character hiding behind his hand.

41:53 "Andor???? He maaaaaaaaaade iiiiiit!!!!" 😬😬😬

this one was my favorite one that disney made

krennic's death - what irony!shot by the death star!in the face!! 😅

The alternate title for Rogue One should be "Don't Get Attached to Anybody"

Now an original trilogy rewatch lol I love how this movie just leads directly to the start of a new hope!

39:22 “Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them do not. Miss them do not.” - Master Yoda.

Rogue one is one of my favs

Definitely watch ANDOR, it's a brilliant show. And i see the end of rogue one, one of my favorite star wars movies (this and the original 3, as this is right before 4). Sucks that everyone died, sure, but they all fought for what they ended up accomplishing, so i see it as a good death, in the end. It's basically a war movie, no one really thought they were getting out of it. And Vader looked really cool killing everyone in that hallway without even pausing, that should probably count for something.

I really appreciate Rogue One because not only does this film respect the spirit of the old trilogy, but it also shows an aspect of the rebellion that is very interesting. Many rebels sacrificed themselves for the final victory. And in this film it is clearly shown that the rebels are not angels but warriors. People who have convictions and an ideal. The end of the film is both tragic and full of hope. Princess Léa's smile at the end of the film says it all. Because it says all those sacrifices were worth it.

great reaction - watching andor is a must

Rogue One is Legendary. Glad to see you react to it! A crystal never hurt anyone! 🩶 from NY. Look at U with your matching top and 🎧 👽

Bro got squided 💯🤙🏾

This movie is a direct link between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. Call it episode 3.5

Order 86 lmao I get the reference 🤣 thats was good. 👏👍

My favorite movies out of the Disney era, easily. Look forward to Andor, it's honestly peak Star Wars!

I thought I remembered from "A New Hope" someone mentioning that people died to get them information on the Deathstar. So I was kind of prepared for how it ended. I will say, that at the time that they made this movie..if they knew Andor was going to be a series, that he would have probably had plot armor and survived the movie somehow.

*Your insight is underrated...it's like you got some kinda Mommy intuition about things.* 😂

Extra EXTRA excited about this one!!! You crushed it :) Excellent reaction my friend!! ♥

So excited for new uploads

I will absolutely die on the hill that Rogue One is the best Star Wars movie. In this essay I will… Ok reasons. 1. We finally get to see the SW universe without the plot armor of the “Dream Team.” (Luke, Leia, and Han). There’s real risk for these characters. They fail, they make mistakes, they die even. We can see how gritty and real it is for them rather than just breezing through everything as a magical space wizard from a desert planet. 2. We actually get to see the *real* Rebellion. These aren’t some plucky heroes taking the good fight to the Empire and sippin some blue milk afterwards. These are regular people, without powers, in the dirt, in the mud, in the blood. They’re gritty. They’re dark. It isn’t just good vs evil, it’s grey. And, for lack of a better term, them make the rebellion look like the t3rrorists that they kind of are. That’s how you fight an empire. They’re an insurgency conducting fast smash and dash missions. And that’s great. 3. We actually get to see why everyone is terrified of the Imperial Navy. Every time we see the Imperial Navy in the other movies the “Dream Team” always manages to either get away or win against the odds. Every. Time. And because of that there’s no threat behind the Imperial Navy. They aren’t scary. But in the us we actually get to see why everyone is so scared of them. 4. We actually get to see why everyone is terrified of Darth Vader. Let’s be honest, Vader doesn’t actually do much in the original trilogy besides stand around, breathe scary, and maybe wiggle a lightsaber back and forth for a little. But everyone’s terrified of him for some reason. And Rogue One actually shows us why. Because he actually is terrifying.

You may have already known this, but K2-SO is Wash.

Great reaction Nia

Tough to hear you hoping everyone would be ok, knowing that this movie had a zero survivor count, yet very cool to hear you namecheck "hope" with you not knowing how it ends. This is arguably the best of the new STAR WARS movies IMO, only possibly tied with FORCE AWAKENS.

I just thought of something - they’re lucky Vader didn’t use the Force to grab the chip with the plans in that last scene.

As I've gotten older I'm not ONLY a fan of Star Wars the movies, I'm a HUGE fan of the music. John Williams is the ultimate G.O.A.T., but Michael Giacchino came through with this film! The last score , Jyn Erso and Hope Suite get me in 😭EVERYTIME.

Best Star Wars flick outside the original story (well Shadow of the Empire needs a movie), but best thing since Disney bought the rights.

It's the best Disney Star Wars by far. It has good pacing, interesting characters, great special effects. If only all the other Star Wars movies were like this, I would be happy.

Good day Nia! I really HOPE u will be watching Andor next or at least in the near future :)

Never, EVER watch a tv series or movie series out of release order for a first watch.

There is no escape.

This was a very quiet video, I had to max out several audio settings to hear you and it clearly (adverts were ear-shattering as a result). Loved the reaction though.

So i think it is theorized that Saw was using spice (drugs) with that breather set up. 😊

This movie, like the Andor series, was all about normal people without being Jedi or force users standing up and doing what they thought was right even if they had to sacrifice themselves just so others would have a chance against the Empire. It's a tragedy, but one that ends with hope.

Hi Nia!🙂The whole story is very good, but very sad cause almost everyone dies.😭Their deaths explain why we don't see them in Stars Wars projects that follow after this timeline. Alan Tudyk is great as the voice of K-2SO. You know him from "Firefly" as Wash. He is also very good starring in the sci-fi series "Resident Alien". The CGI fake of the long dead Peter Cushing is a little hinky. They have improved deep fakes since then. Great reactions to this well made Star Wars film with a sad conclusion, Nia!!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Saw Gurrera couldn't run anymore. he's been in the fight so long. he lost both legs and has breathing problems. And because they don't have a legit medical facility he has horrible prosthetics

A small outtro would have been nice here... We would have loved to hear your thoughts after the viewing. :)

"I just want a feel good movie where everyone is okay." This was not the Star Wars movie to watch lol.

Haha they got you!

Always watch every single series in the release order it was made never in an updated chronological order. The people making the prequels already know what came before and they always tie things back that will make no sense in any other order. 2000 can't improve based on what is going to happen in 2010, 2010 will include things from 2000 with the expectation that everyone has already seen 2000 back in 2000. I've never seen any story continued or prequelled that doesn't nod to the story that was released before and warranted the sequel/prequel in the first place. Andor has some great hat tips to Rogue One - would go totally over the heads of folks watching it first. Unless the people making the prequel/sequel have never seen the original content and I can't think of anyone to do that other than Joel Schumacher with Batman and look what happened. Give the movie to the "I don't like comic books" guy lol.

Continue to watch the Clone Wars series Nia, you'll learn more about Saw Gerrera.

Ay let's go 🎉 Rogue One!

Best Reaction EVER!!!

Are you going to watch the new movies Eps 7-9 as well?

Finally! A Star Wars movie where the heroes win!

I was so happy when I finished this movie. Because of one person Vader in the former expanded univers that was retconned when Disney took over Vader was a beast the most dangerous jedi killer out there. SO when Disney took i was scared hr would be more comical than ruthless this proved that they were not scared to put on full how ruthless and evil he and the empire can be.

In a war movie all or most die-- for a good cause.

My dream is to be a Jedi one day

36:30 Rogue One is the best Star Wars movie. I will not be taking any rebuttals or arguments. Thank you.

Bravo.

Star Wars is much more than just the Skywalker Saga (the numbered episodes). I LOVED the Expanded Universe (now called Legends) which is all the novels, comics, games etc. So many of them are set around the norms of the galaxy. This movie feels like an Expanded Universe movie. Solo is another decent movie. It's not all lightsabers and the Force. Nice layout BTW. It's difficult to arrange stuff onscreen to look good, and get passed the Copyright Gods.

If you want to know why Saw is so "fanatical", watch both Clone Wars and Rebels.... well, add in The Bad Batch, too..... because all of those give his backstory in their own way. I won't give spoilers, but don't discount those animated shows as "kids shows"... they are not! To a point, they were targeted towards children..... but then again, so was the whole franchise. Just..... "older" kids. Something that adults can relate to and understand as well. Trust me on this one. If you're going to go down the Star Wars "rabbit hole"... go all the way.

'Gold Leader, standing by.' in footage borrowed from ep IV

7:16 Alan Tudyk as K2SO is the best part of this movie.

I love this particular installment of the franchise. Going into it, you don't recognize any characters so nobody instantly has "plot armor". It fits in with the Skywalker Saga without depending upon the icons and using them sparingly. What a great fix to one of the most notable "plot holes" in the original, namely why does this big super-weapon have such an exploitable flaw in the first place?

nia storm troopers are not clones

Nia is so pretty 😍

Other reactors (bigger Star Wars fans) understood this movie far more. And Chirrut doesn't use a light sabre because he isn't a Jedi. Genuine fans would know that.

Watchin Andor is mandatory... you Don't have a choice
