A Flawed Masterpiece - A Rogue One Video Essay
Рет қаралды 648,938
Күн бұрынMore than any video so far I have a feeling people are going to really DISAGREE with a lot of things I said here no matter how many times I state that art is subjective and these are just my opinions.
RIP the comments section. And yes I forgot to clarify that only the city of Jedha gets destroyed, not the whole planet. But that planet definitely is not stable or live-able after an event like that anyway so :/
Also this video had a lot of technical issues so....any weird audio blips that happen...just know I tried.

I guess if you are not into real Star Wars, seeing them all die is a good thing. George Lucas, "By killing someone you alienate the audience." He did not believe that by killing someone you add more emotional impact. He also said Star Wars is a fairytale, and everyone is supposed to live happily ever after. Of course, some died in his films to serve the plot, but not to subvert expectations or to add unnecessary weight to a scene, which is what most of Disney Star Wars has done.

Something I find beautiful in this movie is how every one of the main character’s deaths has a personal triumph. -K-2SO protected those he loved. -Chirrut’s faith was rewarded in making it to the master switch, and his love rewarded by Baze’s arms. -Baze comforted Chirrut, got revenge, and chose his last sight. -Bodhi proved to himself that he truly was brave enough, and that his actions would set at least some things right. -Cassian put his guilt to rest and made a real human connection. -Jyn reconnected with the good in herself, her parents, and the Rebellion. It’s part of what makes their deaths all the more heartfelt to me.

I really, really loved how Jyn and Cassian's last scene was done. I love that they didn't kiss. How they looked at eachother, completely at peace with their fate knowing that what they accomplished MIGHT just help bigger people save the galaxy at some point in the future, and how they hugged, was so much more emotional than any kiss could ever be. It was just the purest, most heartfelt expression of companionship I could ever hope for. Even though I have no problem seeing them in a romantic way, because their dynamic was built very organically, I hate that romance is so often portrayed as deeper and more important than friendship. In this scene, this is not the case. Their bond is not about friendship or love, it's just the unbreakable companionship that comes with being brother and sister in arms. They love eachother, and they are content to spent their last moments of life with eachother on that beach, and that's everything they need, and everything WE need. I want more movies to do this.

@user-zf4qv4mu3p 11 ай бұрын
I think it works best with them dying. We see near misses all the time in these movies. It's typical of heroes and we love them for it. But what gets missed at times is why the Rebellion is fighting (the exploitation and slavery shown in this movie) and the true cost of fighting against it. We were personally invested in these people who would be considered battle fodder in other movies. Everyone else dead and the Death Star coming over the horizon really gives you that hopeless feeling. And then Vader. As soon as that lightsaber ignites all I could think was "run dude!" It made me see that the empire was ruling with an iron fist, whereas before I knew they were the bad guys but had only seen it on a military level.

I think the most powerful part of the Battle of Scariff is that each member of the group has a mission critical to the success of the whole, but as each of them die, they don't know if their part, their sacrifice, actually mattered at all, because they don't know if anyone else succeeded. It drives the idea of duty to a cause to a whole new especially poignant level, especially after they realize they are trapped and very likely destined to die. Yet still they fight on. There is a sense of desperation that pervades the movie and yet, by the end of the movie, it is no longer a desperation to survive, but a desperation to succeed. When life is acknowledged as forfeit, the cause takes center stage, and everyone fighting for it, and dying for it, becomes a hero. And that, is why, this movie is so beautiful.

In Rogue One, the dead rebels are successful in their job, in Reach, the UNSC is battered and almost completely loses with almost all its fleet, most of its spartans and its second most important planet gone for no reward, if reach had been invaded later, Red Flag would have gone ahead or/and the UNSC would have found Halo anyway

I love how pointedly this movie avoids any outright romance. Baze and Chirrut have a pretty obvious romance, but it's only alluded to and never shown on screen. Jyn and Cassian have the perfect setup for a romance, but they hug at the end rather than kiss. It's like the romance is there and it is important, but it doesn't need to be directly said or shown. It feels more powerful this way. It's the classic "show instead of tell," but we don't always see it, much less see it done this effectively. Cassian could kiss Jyn at the end. Baze could say "I love you" to Chirrut at the end. But it's not needed, because the story shows it to us

How many years do you think it would take to make a moon size base?) The second Death Star does not have the exhaust port weakness that was put in by Galen.

The "widening of the eyes" by Cassian just before he died was brilliant. I heard someone say that it must have been a blooper, like he was looking up, expecting to hear "cut." I don't buy it. It's how someone would die. Even if it was a blooper, it was smart to leave it in.
@sigmacademy 3 жыл бұрын
The widening of the eyes can be interpreted as a realization that your moment of death has arrived as a character (which makes the embrace of a fellow soldier so much more potent as a visual), or the realization that you have finally found whatever you were looking for - sharing a private "intimate" moment as the end approaches (i.e. not dying alone, which has more of a meaning for that character, because he mentioned at the beginning that he has always fought for as long as he can remember - and would have lost many friends and family along the way). Think of it as a moment of sudden revelation, like finding a sense of peace in his final moments.

Been a while since I watched it so don't remember too many particulars. But I kind of enjoyed Jin's transformation. Wasn't one to write home about, but certainly not bad. That sudden transition felt like the beginning of her arc, not the end. It was the first part she was emotionally challenged, and it caused a shift. Her world changed from 'my parents died for nothing' to 'my parents are still fighting'. She chose to join them. The middle of her arc for me is her turning to the rebellion for help, watching that fail, and then going anyways. Watching random 'useless lifeforms' become her adopted family, and convincing them to join her. The finale and closure was sacrificing herself, and her 'adopted family', for the cause that was greater than herself... just like her mother did in saving her, and her father did in fighting the empire. Maybe was a bit sudden I guess, but I felt like I could empathise when I watched it. That's good enough for me.

Some of the things I liked about Rogue One was how they treated the old characters with dignity. Vader and Tarkin acted as they would and should have. Call it fanservice, call it a tribute or call it character concistency, I liked it, and it didn't hurt the story. Though on a sidenote, I just think they should've just gone without the CGI-uncanny valley. The real actor, Guy Henry certainly looks the part well enough. Lastly they created a lot of new characters, adhered to previously established rules, and did something new in making the movie darker, grittier and with actual main character deaths.
@vonhule 3 жыл бұрын
They made the original Darth Vader look stupid in comparison to how "bad ass" he is in RO. That is not how he was in the original! They did nothing new and interesting with the characters to justify the existence of the movie other than making fans masturbate. It's nothing more than a stupid action movie with unnoticeable characters. The characters you underline are not characters in this movie, like they were in the originals, they are props made to make you say "wow". TLJ did something new with the characters, which justifies it's existence. Darker and grittier!?! Just because characters die doesn't make it darker or grittier. If they did something thematically with the deaths, like for instance making them pointless, see that's dark, but no, they didn't die in vain. That's a very light-hearted theme. TLJ on the other hand establishes thematically that all the characters, which die in the beginning of the film, die in vain. Making Luke fail as a master, that's darker than anything that happens in RO. (You can barely call them) Characters dying ≠ darker and grittier.

@vonHule TLJ accomplished two things. One; it made the new characters irrelevant, specifically Poe, Finn, Rose, Hux, Holdo, and Snoke. Finn was the star of Force Awakens and was the best thing to come out of that movie so it was that much more of a disappointment that his role was diminished and pointless. Two; it divided the fan base. Dark and gritty you say? Hardly. It was confusing, it lacked identity and it was praised for breaking all the rules of Star Wars and shattering expectations. I will agree that it was “unique and different,” which begs the question however; why even make a Star Wars movie if it doesn’t feel like Star Wars?

Also, Johnson didn't make the characters irrelevant, he made them fail which is a theme of the movie; failure (and not in that way, haha). Two: dividing the fanbase is a well accomplished thing to do, it makes the movie worthwhile being able to discuss it. TLJ did feel like SW while at the same time doing something new and more thought out with it. Making something that doesn't feel like SW in the way you'd expect it is an accomplishment. Also, SW is a very limited, obsolete and burned out franchise which needed something new to be done with it to make it more relevant, which Johnson accomplished.
@ColonelGoogy 3 жыл бұрын
@vonHule Rey was written to be the star and while I did like Rey, the character I thought most about after seeing the movie was Finn. How bad are his injuries? Is he going to be okay? Is he force sensitive? What was his background as a stormtrooper like? Will we get to see any of that? How will it affect his future relationships? With Rey it was like, “okay so she’s a jedi, she’s super powerful, she can’t be defeated, etc.” All I wondered was who her parents were. So yeah, in my opinion, Finn was a bigger deal. Having a character fail is all well and good and certainly builds on a story but the characters did nothing to progress the narrative or set up for the next movie. A better example of failure would be The Empire Strikes Back. No one can save Han and then Luke shows up but he fails, and gets his hand cut off, and loses his lightsaber. Yet it still manages to set up for a third movie. Rian Johnson certainly thought dividing the fan base was a spectacular accomplishment. I'll admit the guy is a really good writer/director (not for Star Wars though). Brick is still one of my favorite movies of all time. However, his ego is so massive now I can’t stand the guy. When your goal is to divide a fan base, saying nasty things to those that didn’t like what you created is petty and hypocritical. TLJ isn’t new or thought out. Act for act its actually pretty much Empire Strikes Back. Finally, if you think SW is limited, obsolete and burned out you really should read some of the novels, maybe check out a galactic atlas or vehicle/location compendium or play some of the video games or maybe even watch the Clone Wars animated series. Heck if you’re brave enough you could find yourself a game master to take you through a Star Wars table top rpg adventure. Then again, based on the idea that you think SW is limited/burned out/obsolete, I get the impression you’re only a fan of the movies, and that’s okay.

And sadly, they don't function well as individual films, as a unit forming a trilogy, or as a continuation/conclusion to the 6 episodes that precede them.....and frankly, if they did even ONE of these things really well, most fans would be much more forgiving.

As someone who really loved Rogue One, i think that the focus on the characters misses the point slightly. This movie is a war movie with more in common to Saving Private Ryan than A New Hope. The characters don’t need a lot of development because they aren’t the point, their mission and the overall war is. We don’t need to know their favorite colors or childhood crushes, we just need to know the war their fighting, their mission, maybe how they feel about it, and then how they ultimately attempt to carry it all. I don’t think they died for shock value, it only feels like that because its a Disney movie where characters have more plot armor than Fort Knox. They die because they aren’t Heros, they’re soldiers in one of the largest conflicts the galaxy ever and in the grand scheme of things they’re expendable if it means making progress in the war effort.

My headcanon is that Jyn had been hopeful in the past. It was her default as a child. But over time she built up indifference as a defense. She lost her mother to the Empire. She lost her father in an even worse way - one that left out hope that he'd come back for her. I think she held out faith on that for a long time. She lost her second father figure to the rebellion, and more specifically to the most extreme part of the rebellion. He chose to turn away from her towards something more important. And then she was on her own. She had to survive in a hard world. She could have chosen to just take a job and become a small cog in the imperial society. But even though she didn't choose to fight them, she couldn't just fit in. She wasn't a Rebel, but she was rebelling as a thief. She kept away from the rebellion because they had left her just like her father did. Yes, it's an immature action, but Jyn hasn't had the chance to become mature. When she sees the message, it shows that her father always thought of her and reignites her faith in him. She learns a little of Saw's reasoning and it bring out the hope that she didn't have before. Cassian sees this and this hope releases the hope that he had to bite back when he had to do wrong for a cause. Jyn faces a rebellion that doesn't have enough hope, but Cassian keeps it alive brings in the others.

I honestly think you summed up my thoughts about this movie perfectly, I love it but I also have my problems with it and I totally see the lost potential. It's a beautiful film but there's a lot more they could have done with it. Loved that you also included the headcanon part!! Jyn is a cool character but I also filled many of the gaps in her character arc with my own headcanons. You're totally right about the fact that it feels unfinished. I think a character going from a loner criminal to a freedom fighter is a really neat idea but they didn't do exactly a great job with it. Your analysis on Cassian was great too, hadn't even thought about some of the things you mentioned. (Also love whenever people mention Cassian and Jyn. To me they always had such a great chemistry, and what's tragic about them is that they never really got to explore what they could have meant for each other. Really wish we could have seen more of them haha) After this I honestly think I need to read the novelization and some of the comics too, just to get everything that I can get out of these characters. Them and their realitionships really weren't as fleshed out as I hoped they would be. The ending is already really impacting but it could have been even more if we really got to *know* the characters. But great video nevertheless, I need to check out some of your other stuff too !

*"Be careful not to choke on your aspirations"* Seriously, those who think this Vader's joke is out of character are idiots. They forget in ESB Vader made morbid jokes like: *"Apology accepted, Captain Needa."* as he kills someone for bearing ill news. What's really stupidly written is how a lowly Director, being as smart as he is to climb the ranks to that position, even thinks it's not suicide (politically and literally) to shout at directly into the face of the one and only Grand Moff Tarkin.
@rmm2370 4 жыл бұрын
It made more sense to me after reading Krennic's backstory in Catalyst - those two had an insane rivalry (i.e. Krennic started a small war to get Tarkin off his back / retain control of the DS at one point). He was smart, yes, but he wasn't very rational. And he really, really hated Tarkin - when Tarkin finally took control of the DS it made sense he'd go a bit manic. I did find it pretty hard to believe he'd grovel to Vader, though. THAT'S suicidal.
@rantingrodent416 4 жыл бұрын
I'd note that our impression of the absolute authority of Tarkin is based on A New Hope, in which he establishes that he *just* disbanded the Senate, so the whole context of their rivalry was built up while Tarkin likely had some kind of political leash on him.

To be fair, "Apology accepted, Captain Needa" is one of my favourite Vader lines for it's delivery. It's humour, but it is bitter, poisonous humour. There's a little quaver in James Earl Jones' voice that shows Vader choking on his anger and disgust. You can practically hear him grinding his teeth, and it's that unchecked anger that drives Vader to keep killing officers. I like how the scene shows what happens to decent men in the Empire. The line to Krennik is fine, but it's not A+ material, I feel.

Gabriel I’m gonna have to disagree with you, buddy. Was that line necessary? Probably not, but it isn’t at all out of character for the man who said “I find your lack of faith disturbing” to the guy who criticized Vader’s belief in the power of the force; as well as “We would be honored if you would join us” to the guy he just disarmed and blocked blaster shots with his bare hands; and of course “Apology accepted, Captain Needa” to the man who he just force choked to death. Basically, Darth Vader utilizes cold sarcasm whenever he’s delivering a point to someone. To Needa, it was that even apologies will not save you from failure; to Solo, it was that he was helpless and under Vader’s control to do with as he pleased; to Admiral Motti, it was that Motti’s criticism was hilariously misguided; and to Krinic, it was a rather literal warning, and in my opinion about as kind of formal courtesy that Vader could possibly give someone. Vader’s depiction in Rogue One is what I have always wanted. Before this, we’ve only seen Vader fight other force sensitives with the exception of the time Han shot at him at Cloud City, which again, HE BLOCKED WITH HIS FREAKING HANDS! Obviously, Vader is considerably more powerful against regular folks than he is against force sensitives. His depiction here makes him so much more menacing and respectable as a villain. I now watch the OT with more awe of his character knowing what he’s capable of. And as far as his having to be in this movie, I hardly feel I even need to debate this. This ending fits so seamlessly with the beginning of A New Hope that i always want to watch these two movies back-to-back. Vader is an absolutely necessary component. If you think he isn’t, then I’m surprised you don’t object to Tarkin, Leia, Mon Mothma, Dodonna and every other character who appeared in the other movies too. I just struggle to understand your abhorrence for Vader in this movie. It was one of the best parts, in my opinion.

Personally I liked that Bodee’s death wasn’t known by the main characters. Rouge One gets dark with the amount of people died for the plans. Bodees quick and unexpected death really hit me with the cost of scarrif. This movie showing the Battle of Scarrif showing that the rebellion lost a large portion of their fleet is so underrated. This puts so much more on the line for Luke when he goes to kill the Death Star. 100% this movie needs to be shown to people first before seeing episode 4

Keep doing whatever you’re doing, because you matter. You make a difference in a world where people are still trying to figure out how to find their own voice. You inspire by simply following through. And you are touching lives you’ll never know-not necessarily with your point of view (which, even though I mostly completely agree with, is just as valid as someone’s view dialectically opposite to yours [ours])-but rather, because you found a way to share that point of view with the world. Respectfully. Unashamedly. Boldly. Honestly. You did something. You didn’t just talk about doing something. For that, you’re my hero of the day! I’m a grateful new subscriber and I’m looking forward to seeing what else you have to offer! Well done.

Tom Ffrench I disagree that it does not have great characters. In fact characters are better developed than in any other Disney SW movie. I actually genuinely cared about them and was pretty sad to see that they all gave their lives in the end. In fact that is what I like most, the movie shows you that choices you make have consequences not like mindless crap plots from the other SW movies Disney made where no matter what happens good guys win, beat all odds and sail away into the sunset.

While the characters not having clear and fleshed out character arcs makes the movie feel less complete, I’d argue that it makes the characters more human because people don’t generally have clearly defined arcs. People enter and leave your life, not always with clear backgrounds or personalities. In my opinion that makes Rogue One more real.

I agree with this, plus (and this is sort of a huge elaborate reason that I love this movie) the fact that they aren't completely fleshed out makes them feel like background characters and I love that the fact that they sort of seem more like background characters because it drives home that these are normal people who just decided to pick up a blaster and fight for their beliefs, they know that they're likely going to be martyrs in the dark who don't get the same plot armor that main characters do or recognition or respect, but they do it anyway because it's the right thing to do. There is something so beautiful about that to me.

Both of them remain solidly in my top 5 favorites of ANY fandom EVER... so thank you for giving me more, true-to-character, authentic-feeling Jyn/Cassian to drop dead over. There's a quote from Alexander Freed's novelization of the movie that I think "Of Stormy Seas and Galaxies" really carries through: "It’s become fashionable in some quarters to claim Jyn Erso went to Scarif intending to die a martyr- that she realized she had lost everything and chose her path by its inevitable end. I will dispute this claim until my own dying days. I think Jyn fully recognized who she was and sought a way to channel her best and worst impulses, her darkest moments and her brightest, toward a cause worthy of her true incandescence. In a kinder universe, she would have walked away from Scarif. I cannot imagine who she would have become, but I think she would have been extraordinary."

There are so many reasons why Rogue One can be considered the best one of them all. It hits all the highlights exceptionally well: good vs evil, great score, solid cast, fun and adventure, epic ground battle, epic space battle, epic saber fight (albeit not a duel, this time), characters and events you care about which have clear setups and payoffs not to mention motivation. And while it brings some unique aspects to the table, such as (obviously, of course) their deaths and the almost Christopher Nolan-esque touch of Jyn's childhood nickname (no joke, my heart was in my throat when she found the plans and told Cassian how she knew) what this movie does that places it at the #1 spot for me is that it transcends Star Wars. It isn't so much about the good vs evil which is the infamous criticism of all of Star Wars in its entirety (namely that it's basically just philosophy for children) but instead it's about the cost of waging that fight. When the credits rolled during my first screening of it in theaters (and there were multiple) I sat there for a good ten minutes and simply digested how close to mirroring reality this story may have been. Imagine if in reality, unknown to the masses (perhaps unknown to *all* those in living memory) that the victory of WWII was just that close. A defector w/ information, smuggled to carry his warning over to the other side, perhaps himself and every single soul who helped him deliver that message perished mere minutes (perhaps mere moments) after their success, which is what turned the tide of the war. I sat in that dim theater and considered the odds of just how much our world depends on events such as these, where dumb luck, chance, coincidence or willful betrayal of the conscience tipped the scales in our favor. And of course the beauty of the imagery, from the attention to almost every detail (costume, architecture) to the artistic expression of Gareth Edward's vision - of note are, naturally, most scenes w/ the Death Star (particularly reflections on its floor), Vader's entrance, the beauty and awe of the devastation caused during Jedha's destruction, Galen Erso's message (one of the most touching and beautifully written monologues in recent memory), the witty and purposeful dialogue wherein nearly every single line that every character says has both a clear connection to events preceding it (and a connection to the larger Star Wars mythos) as well as sheer entertainment value, and the determination of a team that faces near certain death, and once it becomes certain - persists to succeed. This is a rare gem that combines a well written, meaningful story w/ real heart and gorgeous imagery.

Not Star Wars related, but a fun war coincidence based on luck: During the American Civil War, General Robert E. Lee planned an invasion of Maryland. The Confederacy was starving and needed additional help. Lee was going to use Maryland to bring the starving Confederacy more food. During the planning for this, he wrote out his battle plans in a letter which was found discarded in a field by Union troops. Unfortunately, the Union general who it was brought to, General McClellan, was a bumbling idiot and waited too long to use them to their full potential, but still used them to effectively stave off Lee's invasion. The letter was used to get the upper hand on Lee, who had been a brilliant strategist and one of the main figureheads of the Confederacy. Their pursuit of Lee lead them to Maryland and into the bloodiest battle of the Civil War, the battle of Antietam. Lee lost 31% of his troops and all the food that Maryland could have brought. The Union "win" at Antietam lead to the Emancipation Proclamation and the end of Lee's invasion of the north. It also is seen as one of the turning points in the Civil War. Without that letter, America could be in a very different place right now.

A friend got me to see it. We both love military history. He said it was excellent, and it was about the Special Ops leading to the beginning of the first movie. I paused, and stated don't tell me any more, because the only way that happens is if the Special Ops went very, very bad - you would NEVER use Princess Leia unless all of your other assets were gone. Speaking of which, being offended and playing on Diplomatic Immunity was all she had at the end. What else could she do, and it was a good bet if you believe Palpatine is still playing the public fig leaf bit. We buried my sister's husband in 2004, who was deployed in Iraq. He'd joined after 9/11, and was expecting to be deployed to Afghanistan to fight al Qaeda. He was shot July 2, and the military had a delay getting his remains out of theater. The delay let me find a last minute standby flight out of Cincinnati to Dallas-Fort Worth. It was only on the way taxiing out of the terminal, that I realized it was the exact same flight, by day of the week and time, that we had used, with the exact same $168 fare, to attend their wedding two years earlier. I was a different person, just a kid, when I saw Star Wars in late 1977. Nearly 40 years later I'm middle-aged, and I don't believe in wars and the happy ending bit. Somebody ALWAYS gets an unhappy ending, it's just who, how many - and if they made a difference. The last part is why Rogue One works so well.
