"In 30 years are we gonna get CG Mark Hamill?" Oh Jay, it didn't even take them 5...

Rich looks completely correct in his shirt, tie and hard hat, he could walk into any building site and make them do what he wanted.

5 years later this is still the greatest Half in the Bag opening. I especially love when Mike almost bursts a blood vessel saying "IT BROKE NEW GROUND" followed by Rich's laughter off camera.

“Are we going to get, like, CGI Mark Hamill?” Yes. You absolutely will. And people will record themselves clapping and crying over it.

Rich Evans screaming "AT-STs! AT-STs! AT-STs!" has made an indelible impression on my memory. This is still going to be in my head twenty years from now.

CGI Tarkin is the key to all of this, because he's a funnier character than we've ever had before.

In 2021, I feel confident saying that the opening skit of this review has become more iconic than Rogue One itself.

2021, and people are STILL saying "I clapped", and "AT-ST's AT-ST's".

Kyle Katarn died for our sins.

"I'm picturing in 30 years when Disney is still milking Star Wars...are we gonna get CG Mark Hamill?" Turned out it was only three years

"why does Tarkin look like he fell down the uncanny valley?" glorious one-liner.

Rich Evans dancing and shouting ATST'S has been living in my head rent free for years.

Ya know what fixes the whole thing with Tarkin? You make all of his conversations through one of the hologram things.

Not gonna lie, I enjoyed this more then TFA. 2023 Edit: Ngl Disney Star Wars is incredibly depressing, and all around a miserable experience. All these films are around the same quality for me.

Who would've thought that Cassian Andor would be in one of the best thing Star Wars has produced in years.

Jay is the underrated editor on youtube, he has his own style that’s obviously different, i dont know enough about editing to point out what it is but my brain did

I like to think Palpatine built Vader's castle on Mustafar just to fuck with him.

James Earl Jones is 89. He's not getting up there, he's there.

the opening 3 minutes is probably the greatest thing ever captured on film

Rich's disgust at 21:40 feels more genuine than the entirety of Disney's star wars. And mike's reaction is great.

Here, I transcribed the full cast: Felicity Jones - Gin Erso Diego Luna - Calrissian Endorrian Mablan Morpan - Guvan Dupan Plegnon Phemvon - Blam Suppelbut Jonn Quinn Blabo - Zorgla Fem Blacken

That intro will never not be funny

"In 30 years are we going to get a CGI Mark Hamill" *Laughs in Mandalorian*

The "bad-cgi-Tarkin" trailer at 16:04 never fails to get me laughing.

to this day i still can’t get over “Mon Mothma’s back” or “BASIL OREGANO.”

Darth Vader was hiding in the walls.

Rich's laugh reaches a pitch equal to the Imperial alarm klaxon. The man is underused by the industry in every way.

Jay: "In 30 years are we gonna get like CGI Mark Hamill?" Disney: "You underestimate my power!"

"Guy McAccent"

AT-ST'S AT-ST'S AT-ST'S

Mike’s trailer edit with cartoon Tarkin is gold, along with background laughter..

2:16 I love coming back to watch Jay fail miserably to keep a straight face here

Basil Oregano is my favorite character

Rich Evans chanting AT-STs is one of my favorite things in the world. I come back to watch that every couple months

Oh no he said "Cgi Mark Hamill" You've cursed us, Jay! IT HAPPENED

15:57 “Well if he ran the computers, why does Tarkin look like he fell down the Uncanny Valley” is probably one of the best jokes I’ve heard in a Red Letter Media video

"Go hide in the bunker, and Forest Whitaker will come get you." That's not a backstory, it's a threat.

In 2016, Rich Evans saying the Star Wars universe is incredibly limited was a bold controversial statement. In 2019 it's obvious.

It just dawned on me that Rogue One is pretty much discount Halo Reach

Have I been living under a rock not knowing about these guys? they're hilarious!!😂😂😂

Felicity Jones stars as Jyn Erso Diego Luna stars as Calrissian Andorian Moblon Morpon stars as Goovan Doopan Plegnon Famvon stars as Blam Supplebutt Jun Quin Blabbo stars as Zorgla Van Blacken With a cast list like this how could they have gone wrong?

i dont care what anyone says the cgi rich evans looks pretty good

I wonder how many nerds this episode of Half in the Bag has infuriated over the years.

“He got blown up on alderon!!!!” might be the hardest I’ve ever laughed

Whenever Rich talks about Grand Moff Tarkin, am I the only one who keeps hearing "Gramma Tarkin"?

Darth Vader's lava castle was a Life Day present from Palpatine.

"We have Thor and he's an ass-gaurd" - Rich Evans

13:37.. if only they knew that 6 years later, "Guy McAccent" would be getting his own damn show LOL

2019. This episode is aging surprisingly well.

Whenever Rich laughs, an angel gets its new wings.

Whenever I'm feeling down, i come back to this video.

"Grand Moff Tarkin looked okay..." I can't tell which reaction is funnier, Rich's or Mike's to Rich's

I’m so happy than Blam Supplebutt is back for The Mandalorian.

Aww man, sucks to see you didn't like the film much. I agree with the lack of characterization, that certainly was a pretty big flaw. However as a war film this worked, as a heist film this worked, as a sci-fi film (with some of the most amazing space battles filmed) this works. Sure it doesn't work as a "Typical Star Wars Film" but it wasn't trying to. I felt it hit that "on the line" area that you say the Marvel films hit. And you suggesting to cut the last 2 minutes of the film with Vader? That was genuinely an awesome moment, with or without nostalgia. Ouch. Cut out all the "Space Battle Shit"? ....what. why. You do know this is a story of the Rebellion vs Empire right? It''s also "Star WARS" you know like wars in space and shit? You show Phantom Menace side by side with Rogue One as "THIS IS STAR WARS" (for everyone?), shouldn't you show maybe the Return of the Jedi Battles vs Rogue One Battles for a better comparison? Anyway, I still respect your guys opinion and agree the characters were the weakest part, but disagree on pretty much every other part.

Ironically I’ve watched this review more than Rogue One

LMAO. "It broke new ground!". Five years later and still hilarious!

“Are we gonna get CGI Mark Hamil?” Yes. Yes we did.

The characters have backstories. Available in Disney's™ Star™ Wars™ Catalyst™ A™ Rogue™ One™ Novel™.

“Will it though? Look at the Marvel movies?” Revisiting this in 2023, I wish I could go back in time to burst through the door and say, “hi I’m from the future and boy do I have some news for you”

CGI Mark Hamill was only 2 seasons of Mandalorian away. Good prophetic call, Jay

Legend has it the imperial alarm is just Rich Evans laugh repeated

I dunno. That scene where Vader slices down those soldiers like they're toys while horror-esque music plays was fucking BRILLIANT in my mind.

21:40 - is one of the best laughs I've ever gotten from an RLM video.

RLM's Disney Star Wars reviews are some of my favorite movie reviews ever. Period.

Cried from laughing at that opening. I love you guys so much.

Actually the Marvel movies got old to me years ago...

I love hanging out with my friends Mike, Jay, and Rich. We laugh, and talk about movies, tell jokes, it's really fun!

"Do you remember things that were in Star Wars? Me too!" Still gets me.

... I just got the "Mon Mothma's Back" joke.

Rich Evan's laugh is a national treasure.

"And [that Marvel hero] has a different personality-" _"... sure."_ That little reaction had me wheezing with laughter.

22:15 - They predicted 30 years. And we've gotten CGI Mark Hamill just like 5 years after Rogue One. And to think they were cynical.

IT BROKE NEW GROUND!!!!!!

"The Star Wars universe, here's the dirty little secret, it's very small and very limited, whenever Star Wars tries to expand outside out of Tie-Fighters, X-Wings, Stormtroopers and lightsabers it's bad." Hitting the nail on the head..

I think about the opening to this so often, never fails to make me die laughing. “I clapped!!! I clapped when I saw it!!!!”

Everytime Mike cracks, it's like seeing a unicorn: 21:40

Felicity Jones' character being able to ace an entire squad of Storm Troopers... in fact any of the characters in this movie, and in the Force Awakens too, being able to ace entire squads of storm troopers is a huge problem in what is supposed to be a gritty war movie. It makes the Empire look goofy and mookish. I couldn't possibly comprehend them as a serious threat, or as having the capacity to build Deathstars. When characters die it isn't because life seems fragile, it's because some fucking writer just figured we need drama, and it's predictable and cheap. Look at all the Empires in real life. Like the U.S.A. for example, not only is the US is capable of turning entire cities into a pile of ash, but it commands legions of deadly, well trained, crack infantry and pilots, all armed with the best equipment money can buy. During the war in Vietnam even, were Vietnamese resistance fighters going around with fucking AKMs doing kung-fu flips around their technologically superior foe? NO! They died in vastly disproportionate numbers for every single American casualty they could eek out. Tell me then how am I supposed to see this as a gritty war movie when it doesn't even in the slightest portray accurately the kind of war the rebellion is in? You want to make the characters' struggle relateable? Then have them shit their pants at the sheer sight of a Storm Trooper. Make it so that every kill they get against their insurmountable foe seems earned and satisfying. Don't make me pity the poor bastards in the white suits.

How can people like TFA but not RO and call out RO for being a nostalgia fest? If a movie is a nostalgia fest, then it's TFA.

Randomly rewatched this video and I laughed out loud when he asked “what’s next? CGI Luke Skywalker?” 😂

25:44 They were just goofing around with the beef cuts analogies, but then Rich did so well with it that Mike wanted to hear more lol

"Daisy Riddley is charismatic as hell in that movie!" I nearly spat out my drink hearing that, rofl yes mouth permanently gaping open with eyes wide for every single scene with a blank look of utter empty headedness is VERY charismatic xD

1:49 how can I get Rich's laugh as my ringtone

This movie was mine and my wife’s first date 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I CLAPPED BECAUSE IT WAS DIFFERENT! IT BROKE NEW GROUND!!! You have altered my sense of humor redlettermedia. Thank you

Rich doing the AT ST dance makes me so god damn happy.

This episode never fails to make me laugh my ass off

It's funny when Jay offhandedly says the movie will make a billion dollars because it made almost _exactly_ a billion dollars.

0:48 Jay's muppet movement gets me every time and the whole video, of course.

Disney's™Star™Wars™Rogue™One™A™Star™Wars™Story™

They say this movie's biggest downfall is that it's safe and relies too heavily on past characters rather than standing on its own legs THE FUCKING FORCE AWAKENS!??!?!?!?!!? Everything you give this movie shit for you completely ignore in your TFA Half in the Bag video.

I replay the first 4 minutes of this video regularly. It brings me so much joy 🤣

"In 30 years, are we gonna get CGI Mark Hammil?" Oh Jay, you innocent innocent child.

Rich Evans is a national treasure

21:39 Jay: Grand Moff Tarkin looked okay... Rich: WHAT?! LOL

The opening for this is a goddamn masterpiece.

Jay you got CGI Mark Hamill

I thought this movie had way less fan service than TFA. The only stuff i can think of was the cameo by those thugs from Mos Eisley and our two droid sidekicks. Other than that, though, i cant think of anything. Of course Darth Vader could be considered fan service, but he had every reason to be in this movie. In his first appearance, he was talking to Krennick because there had been several screw-ups lately and Vader was the guy who sorted that stuff out. In the last scene, Vader's Star Destroyer needs to chase after Leia's ship. You know that big opening scene we all love? Vader's ship. Vader is literally in the opening scene to the movie that starts right after this one ends. Why would Vader not be in the last scene.

RLM has made the new SW films more memorable than the actual films.

i come back to watch this every now and then to get my fix of rich saying "AT-STs AT-STs AT-STs AT-STs"

Rewatching this now, it’s so on point! Also some great quotable soundbites in this episode 😂
