Rogue One was what the sequels should have been.

The only Star Wars good movie under disney.

I love Rogue One and still watch it a few times a year. I'm not sure how such an enjoyable film slipped past Disney and got released!

Rogue One is hands down my favorite Disney Star Wars movie. I remember having hope for the future of the franchise after watching it. Unfortunately it's been one disappointment after another since then. Disney has no plan and no vision. They just produce uninspired content.

Preaching the truth. Rogue One is a damn fine Star Wars film.

Rogue 1 had “the feels” of the original Star Wars trilogy. Nothing else has. The original ‘trilogy’ is now four movies long. 👍🏼

I enjoyed Rogue One a lot more than the Skywalker sequels. It had a great aesthetic. Not perfect but there was a lot to like.

Slight correction, he simply made the reactor highly unstable, but the exhaust port was a normal design choice, which the Rebels had to find with the plans a way to get to it

This is the best Star Wars movie since the Return of the Jedi

Great retrospective. 100% agree with everything you said. Until Andor, Rogue One was probably my favourite 'new' Star Wars. There have been good entries on the streaming and animated sides, but the thing about Rogue One was it gave me a different feel for this universe. It gave peril, trudgery, oppression and for the first time made me feel like I understood what people were fighting for in A New Hope (rather than being told it). It's a rare prequel that adds colour to the previously release film. Do I want all Star Wars to be like this? No. Do I want some to be like this? Definitely. Rogue One showed you could branch out and tell different types of stories in this setting and make it work, and that's what I really hoped for and this film gave, variety.

I watched Andor with my dad who never saw Rogue One. We watched it after and that series DID give a ton of depth to the film.

First: I love Rogue One. The only Disney contribution to Star Wars that was Star Wars. Second: I freaked out laughing when the little sequence was inserted where classic actors had over 10 terabytes of data for their digital selves and Steven Seagals was 19 kilobytes. Good shot.

Rogue One is also one of my favorites of the entire Star Wars collection. Man did we have it good before the sequel trilogy

I worked at a movie theater as an usher when this was out and every day I would go in a few minutes early to watch the Darth Vader hallway scene, it was great and so much fun

As someone who is the right age to remember the rebel heroics of the original trilogy at the time I came to the disturbing realisation while watching Rogue One that the rebels were depicted as terrorists from a certain point of view 🤔

This movie is so good that it is almost impossible to believe Kathleen Kennedy green-lit it. I own it on DVD and I've been re-watching it every few months.

I was in my late Thirty's sitting in a theater watching this film. When the Rebel Fleet comes out of hyperspace and you see Gold Leader and Red Leader I turned into a 12 year old boy. Thank you Mr. Edwards and to your team this film is Star Wars Gold. If your a Star Wars fan and most of what Disney is disappointing you Rouge One and now Andor is our hope, our Luke Skywalker.

This was the only Star Wars movie I'd seen since TESB that gave me _that_ feeling, the one Star Wars movies are supposed to give you. If the original had come out in 2016 instead of 1977, I think it would've been very much like Rogue One.

I love how Donnie Yen reprised his Zatoichi role in John Wick. With a Chris Walken flair.

I enjoyed Rogue One so much that I made the prescient decision to no longer watch any more Star Wars films. I felt that it was so good that nothing made subsequent to it would match it. Such a great film to end the Star Wars universe for me (I was 8 when I saw the original back in 1977)

It would be great to see the Gareth Edwards's directors cut.

I loved this movie. Beautifully shot.

I'm sending Steven Seagal a gallon of ointment. That was a savage nerd-burn. 🤣

Superb acting, story. I'd say it's just behind Empire Strikes Back. I freaking love Rogue One

This is the only Star Wars movie I wish I could watch in the theater. It is way better than what some claim

The main thing that bothered me about the CGI Peter Cushing was the fact that we were denied the chance to see Wayne Pygram as Tarkin for a whole film.

Loved Rouge One!

Rogue One proves that if Disney wanted to, they could make good Star Wars movies. Sure it's not flawless but overall, I really love this movie. I wish every Disney film had its level of execution.

One part I always enjoy watching is when Jin steps up to lead the crew to get the plans. She says "Saw Gerrera used to say ..." , and if there was ever any doubt in the men following her, it was gone with that line.

It has spy games like the cold war, role playing like D&D, mission briefings like SW1, a beach assault like apocalypse now!. Is a suicide mission that you know how it ends and were it goes from there. I LOVE IT.

I love this movie and it sits right on the shelf next to the original six...unlike 3 other movies that shall not be named. I wish Andor would get released in a physical medium.

After the prequels and sequels I was done with SW, they were films where you were looking at your watch to guess when they'd end, something you should never find yourself doing in a theatre. Then came R1, when it ended I looked along the seat rows as the lights came up and the collective gasps of joy from the audience was highly palpable. I'm old enough to have watched all the SW films, at launch, since 1977 and after the initial trilogy I always left the cinema thinking of how I would get my own personal copy; R1 is only the 4th to make me think that way. At 54 yrs old I eventually got a tattoo...'' and I fear nothing, for all is as the force wills it..'' That's what Rogue One means to me.

Andor made me appreciate this movie even more.

Thank you for giving the actors each their own nod cause that’s why this movie is so good they made it so. And you see it cross over to Andor ands it even better because of it

Its a great movie for sure. I really wanna see the sequences that were cut, they need to bring out all the deleted scenes

Rogue One is a real movie. It can stand alone on its own. An Art masterpiece with so many subtle layers that makes you want to watch it on and on...

This has become my favorite SW movie, but ESB is still almost tied.

The Stephen Seagal dig is GOLD 😂

If I remember correctly, Galen Erso did spell out the weakness he had created. That the reactor could be caused to detonate the entire station if the Rebellion could set off an explosion in it or near it. The reason they needed the plans to the Death Star was so they could find a way to introduce the explosive... which they ended up doing by exploiting the exhaust port.

Great review Stam. Once i saw that Donnie Yen was cast in this film i just knew it was gonna be a winner. and i had proven right

Rogue One is great. One of those films that you just put on every now and then.

Yup, my favorite disney star wars movie

As far as I'm concerned, Rogue One was the final good Star Wars movie after ROTS.

I wholeheartedly agree that K2SO is the best comedic touch of this movie. He and the blind dude were my favorites when I watched this

THE PREQUEL WITH No EQUAL - I like the phrase here very fitting!

Absolutely, the best. Thanks for the fantastic research and presentation

It's so quick, but the Steven Seagal 19Kb gag _destroyed_ me, rofl 🤣🤣🤣

Rogue One is by far the greatest "Star Wars Feeling" movie since E6 ❤️

Great movie. One of my absolute favorites 💓

Yes, agree. This was my favorite modern Star Wars films. I like the smart ass robot and how it dovetailed into a new hope.

Apparently in the next Disney Star Wars movie the main baddie is called Rom De Slantis!

I've lost it at Steven Seagal floppy disk. Awesome review, you got a subscriber.

This video "was a surprise, but a welcome one to be sure." Entertaining, it was. New sub!

Best of the new Star Wars films

Rember when I saw it in theaters it was the Star Wars movie I’ve been waiting decades for

The reality, let's be honest, the best original Star Wars scenes, such as the attack on either Death Stars, the battles on Hoth and Endor's Moon, the capture of Tantive IV, anything with Han Solo, were all Rebel scenes. Rogue One is a culmination of what was really the most fun elements of the original trilogy.

The ultimate tease by Disney. A really, really good Star Wars film.

My love for this film cant be describe

I'm not a big Star Wars fan, but I really enjoyed this movie.

My third favorite Star Wars movie, beating Return of the Jedi. It was the one that got my hopes up, Disney might have a clue what to do with Star Wars… what a fail! Even the Mandalorian turned into a boring watch. But surprisingly, Andor is really good. Maybe they should try an Urso show…

My third favourite of all Star Wars films, only behind A New Hope and The. Empire Strikes Back.

I read the book. Galen Urso was working on a cheap power generation tech using kyber crystals. He didn't know he was working on a weapon until Saw Guerrera told him he was which is when he fled. The flaw in the Death Star was placed there because the radiation risk when they weapon fired to the people onboard was extreme. Krenic didn't see a problem with that until he realised that senior imps could be killed. The solution given was exhaust ports to vent excess hard radiation into space. A retro-fit. The exhaust ports lead to the weapon's kyber reactor and not the Death Star's main reactor.

imo R1 is the best of the universe since Empire.

Best Star Wars film by a country mile

Easily my second dav film of the franchise. This movie was so close to perfect. Such a tragic tale, but one of arguably the most important event for the rebellion. Without those plans, the rebellion would surely be lost. Chirrut Îmwe is best boi.

I'm so glad "Rogue One" gets such acclaim. There is nothing to fault in it.

Best Star Wars movie EVER.

I was told that Alan Tudek was actually on Set the whole time. Apparently he was wearing electrician, stilts and stomping around. I heard him joking about it one time. He said that an unforeseen complication of him being on the stilts is that his crotch was right at everybody’s eye level

Was very impressed with Rogue One. Honestly I rank it #4 out of all the star wars movies, right after the original trilogy (in order).

great movie- great commentary.

Rogue One and Andor are the best products of Disney's StarWars, Period.

Two things: 1. The Imperials nuked Scarif because their repository of secrets and plans (like the Death Star) had been breached, and so decided to annihilate it to prevent further breaches and thefts of information. It's not like that place contained the only copies, after all. 2. Darth Vader was so tired and out of breath by ANH's opening simply because of his murderous rampage just before in RO's climax, which makes perfect sense. Don't forget, Vader is also not as young as he used to be.

Great summary. Rogue One is the only Disney Star Wars movie that respects and adheres to George Lucas’s legacy. And the only one I own on 4K Blu-ray.

Doctor Krenick- "The man that thought he got Matthew Quigley."

Definitely in the top 4 star wars movies - with episodes 3,4&5

Here here!

Andor was a great prequel to this prequel

Rogue One became my favorite Star Wars movie

One of the best Star Wars fan fiction movies! We all know of course that it really was Kyle Katarn and Jan Ors, who stole the death Star plans, but whatever.. great and epic fun!

Thanks for reviewing Rogue One 👍🏻 Better for having no Skywalkers in it. 😂

And we also got a themed SW BF 2 Scarif map and skins.

The irony that Cassian dies by the tech he helped build.

I said this the day I saw it, R1 was excellent but there were still people who said it was terrible. Now, everyone praised how good it was. It doesn’t take genius to see the story was good, the characters were likable and flawed, the comedy was on point and not silly or over done, and the action was really well done. No it’s not perfect, but it’s damn good.

Great movie, my favorite

The best Star Wars movie

Rouge noun is the StarWars/Holby City crossover we didn't no we needed.

I saw the originals as a kid but RO is in my top three now great pic

Tony Gilroy 🏆

13:00 😂 Segal’s floppy disk

Rouge One. I meant...yeah...typing too fast. Seriously, this is the best modern SW movie for me. It feels crisp and modern, despite being set to fit a movie that came out in the 70s.

spot-on review. My only issue with Rogue One is the clumsy insertion of R2D2 and C3PO who are meant to be on Leia's ship.

Funny story I dropped my car at a shop and walked by a theater. Opening day they sneaked in an 1130 showing that wasn't sold-out, so I thought what the heck! I had chills leaving the theater. Thought it was the best thing since Empire. The next show was packed!! People in line could see I liked it.

Great video! This might be an unpopular opinion, but I believe Rogue (sp) One is better than that Star Wars film with the care bears in it.

So sad watching Andor and knowing it will end like this. Is at least the only SW Disney movie they did good.

Yes Stam, Starboard is down. (In Space) lol

I love this movie, possibly better than The Skywalker Saga films.

"Look ma, no Jedi" Chirrut Îmwe: "Am I a joke to you?"

I loved it, R1 was such an interesting view and take on the SW Galaxy

Great vid and great opinions
