The force is with me and im one with the force.

"Are you kidding me? I'm aleady blind." I died at that joke.

I really dont know why a lot of people were upset with Vader saying "Do not choke on your arrogance" as he was force strangling Director Krennic, i thought it was cool, not cheesy and stupid, i also thought he was being serious.

12:28 i thought that Bodhi's death was great because not all main characters get memorable deaths. in a war any one of them could've died at any time

People weren't happy about Vader choke pun? Vader uses dark humor ALL the time! I'm too lazy to list all of them here but he's done that in all 3 originals.

I lost my mind when I heard General Syndulla!!!

Vader does joke. He accepted an apology very sagely after force choking the now dead apologizer in a prior movie.

"FOR JEDHA"

I almost teared up when red and gold leader came onto screen

i saw chopper!!

My heart ached when they all died

Project "Darksaber" mentioned just before Project Stardust. Just a nod, or a sign of what's to happen to Sabine and Mandalore?

They put C3po and R2 in the movie to still have them in every single Star Wars movie. Just a guess ;)

I hope the final Rebels Episodes will happen at the Battle of Scarif Would be so amazinggg AND ROGUE ONE is L O V E sich a great movie ;-;

I think Vader's joke was reminiscent of Anakin's personality in the Clone Wars. I think it was a fantastic Easter Egg.

For bringing back Peter Crushing from the dead for Tarkin in this film, they did a fantastic job. Yeah you can tell it's CGI, but they did an impressive job, as with Leia. But I actually felt sad when everyone of them died, even though we didn't get much time with them, I still felt sad and I have to say I did tear up when Donnie Yen's character died.

when I got home from the movie me and my dad went straight to watching A new hope lol

I am now imagining that whenever we see Vader meditating or by himself, he's just thinking of jokes to make when he chokes people, and even asks Palpatine for some inspiration. I enjoyed the film so much, and I can't wait to see it again. Glad I'm not the only one who picked up on the Rebels references. Also, those two thugs (I forget their names) from A New Hope must have gotten off Jedha really quickly. K-2SO was easily the best character introduced in the film, and probably the best droid character. And that Vader scene... possibly the only live-action scene that truly depicts how terrifying and hopeless it is to go up against a force-wielder, especially one that has no qualms with cutting people up like Vader. Oddly enough, despite their limited development, I actually grew to like these characters really quickly, and found myself caring more for them than the main casts of other Star Wars films. I don't exactly know why. I honestly thought Tarkin HAD been recast when I first saw it, so he definitely convinced me. Leia... not so much. Rogue One may actually be my favourite Star Wars film, although I may need to rewatch it to be sure. Empire is still hard to overtake.

I don't get why people think the face recreaction for Leia and that other guy i forgot his name wasnt amazing..I actually thought it was them even tho it wasnt lol. 10/10 for me on this movie :) even tho no one cares about my rating of Rogue one xD

that vader scene IS my favorite star wars scene ever. was the bacta tank on mustafar or was it sullust?

I watched yesterday and honestly it's wayyy better than Force Awakens, I loved this movie, when I walked from Force Awakens I was trying to lie to myself saying I loved but I thought it was disappointing BUT this....I walked out wanting to watch it again and again 9-10 from me

Why does everyone complain about the vader joke. Remember "apology accepted"

that hallway scene felt like a horror movie

so... Rogue One > Force Awakens?

I cried watching the end Alex😰

the fact that the castle was mustafar makes me super happy. the prequels references where awsome too😀. but dam, what an amazing experience. was blown away at evrey turn! That ending.. God... the nostalgia.. it was everywhere! the vader hallway scene was THE BEST thing in the film by far!😀😀 vader kicked ass👍. very great review so many good points. 👍

To me ROGUE ONE is THE FILM I have been waiting for almost 30 years.

I see what you mean about the characters not having enough time, but it's supposed to show that the good guys die. It's the price of war.

Biggs was shown in it mate...

Sexiest suit of 2016

biggs was probably with luke on tattoine in that deleted scene

it was a war movie, characteristics and such don't get built up o. look at saving private Ryan.

The ending was the most perfect thing I've seen in my life and I didn't even get to see it that well from all the tears in my eyes!

C-3PO and R2-D2's cameo made sense since they were with Organa. The one that felt out of place to me was the two thugs from Mos Eisley, but it didn't take me out of the film.

The end was amazing! the girl dies killed by the weapon her father created, is like if she was taking the blame. And all the troopers were obliterated by the weapon they helped to build. When the death star was on the horizon... wow... No one life was of value.

You missed the fact that bail goes to get a Jedi veteran from the clone wars (who I suspect is Either Kanan Jarrus or Ahsoka)

the saber in the dark was my favorite scene!

I hated krenic Death I wanted Vader to kill Him not the Death Star he should have escaped scariff and Vader would have said you failed me for the last time choked him to death

Did anyone have a problem ? That there was no opening crawl the movie seems like it's not a Starwars movie without an opening crawl especially the one they showed at celebration

Obvious CGI on Leia and Tarkin was obvious. Also loved the scene with Vader and the Rebel trooper squad

i saw the movie and it was really awesome

That was mustifar I thought it was sullust

generally syndulla please report to the briefing hall

"Don't choke on your aspirations." I think. I only saw it once so far. Going to see it 57 more times

[SPOILERS!][SPOILERS!][SPOILERS!] [SPOILERS!][SPOILERS!][SPOILERS!] As for the CGI characters, i think this is something that only hardcore fan o very nitpicky eyes will catch. I watched it with my sister, and she didn't know that Peter Cushing died 20 years ago, she thought it was a real character until I told her halfway through the movie "it's a CGI character", she couldn't believe it! Of course Leia was more noticeable but I didn't mind because they were so incredibly good. I loved Red Leader and Gold Leader because they are a nice homage to the original trilogy, I didn't mind that, like the destruction of Red 5, very nice touch. The only thing that made me cringe a little were the two guys from the Mos Eisley cantina (I don't remember their names) on Jedha. I felt that they were out of place, and I agree with you when you say that it would have been cooler to see R2 and C3PO on the ship at the end rather than on Yavin 4. The movie was incredible, for me it was much more "rewarding" than The Force Awakens (which is still I think a better "movie" in regards of characters and pacing), because despite the first half a little choppy and with some character development problems, the crescendo towards the end is FANTASTIC. It was SO SO SO intense, just awesome. ps: rewatching the first trailers I think the reshoots changed the plot a little. In the trailer there are so many scenes that are not in the movie (like Jyn walking on top of the tower towards the TIE Fighter). I know this happens a lot, but the trailers make it very noticeable!

Guys dat Ending Scene(s) tho :-)

I can finally watch your channel again, just watched it last night, was awesome!

Their deaths may not have seemed cinematic, but they died the ways soldiers do on the battlefield

I like that Galen put the exhaust port there so that the rebels can destroy the Death Star.

They actually didn't take the scenes from A New Hope proper, Gareth found unused film footage of the battle of yavin and cut around it and cleaned it up.

Vader's phrase sounded like "I find your lack of faith disturbing," or "The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am." I don't think that it was a stupid joke.

That last scene with Vader was incredible.

Hammerhead Ramming!!! That was EPIC!!

To be fair, Vader was the pun master originally. "Apology accepted captain Needa", not to mention the non-stop puns and jokes (that are both terrifying and funny) in the new comics

Of all the reviews I have read and seen of this movie, yours is the first in which I agree with you on every point. You just earned yourself a subscriber.

The saddest death was the robot. Even thought it's only a robot that died...

Feel the exact way about the lack of character development. Force Awakens handled it better with it's new characters.

I noticed that the vehicle where Jyn Erso was captured before she was rescued by K2SO was a clone turban tank from ROTS.

I think I heard and saw Chopper the astromech Droid passing by and making his grunting beeps and his LED.

Noted on character development. Would it be wise to read Catalyst then prior to the movie so at least you get some background on Krennic, the Erso's and without dropping spoilers Grand Moff Tarkin given what he would pull in the movie.

What did you think of the Bail organa part? Contrary to my fears as soon as I saw him did he really fit in, and I truly felt dread as soon as he left for alderaan

The most awesome thing for me was Blue Squadron! Apart from General Merrick, that subtle reference to the color McQuarrie wanted for X-wings was so perfect!

I absolutely flipped out when hearing James Earl Jones' badass voice when Vader spoke. Also I geeked out when I saw the scene where Jyn was being transported in an A6 Juggernaut

i was hoping Jyn and Cassian was not going to get romantic before they died. it looked like they were gonna kiss but i was gonna rage at the movie if it happened.

I would have loved a Porkins reference at the base😂 oh Porkins...

@StarWarsExplained in A New Hope C-3PO says that his last master was Antilles (don't know how to spell it) which makes it make sense that he is on Yabin 4 in Rogue 1 when we first see him then when he was killed C-3PO was given to Leia

I really liked Vader's pun, it was like his inner Anakin was showing :D

One of my favorite moments was Bail Organa and Mon Mothma talking about his "Jedi friend" aka Obi-Wan Kenobi. I kind of freaked.

I swear to god if people in the 1970's saw this movie they wouldn't catch on to the cgi faces

pretty much agree with your whole analysis, especially the part about saw gerrera. I just love how they've implemented all these references. Cornelius & Ponda Baba in particular.

I'm so happy that you follow Mr. Sunday movies. I love his podcast. You might like the sands pants radio podcasts. They have a couple KZfaq channels also.

On the topic of CGI facial recreation I thought Tarkin looked fantastic and Leia looked rubbery.

I almost cried when chirret died

HEY!!! I have a question in rouge one when there about to go though the shield you can see a storm trooper outside in space, can all storm troopers do this he looked like we was stranding guard and protecting it which means that he had to be out in space for a while so can all troopers do this or is it a unique trooper kind sand troopers or snow troopers

wedge was seen twice once in his orange suit on yavin and for some reason he was wearing a blue one during scariff

in the spoiler part, you said you wanted a biggs callout, but you forget that he didn't actually join them until after the start of a new hope, but it was a deleted scene but I prefer to think that is canon.

I thought it was amazing! It makes A New Hope a better movie! In my opinion it's better than The Force Awakens

Was the blaster that Jyn gave to K a Separatist blaster? I remember seeing it in battlefront as a sidearm for the B1 units, at least i think it was.

This is my favorite Star Wars Movie. A couple questions though... 1. What was the original purpose of the Kyber Crystal Necklace? (aside from being an heirloom) 2. Why was Leia even on the Rebel Flagship? Bail said he was sending her to the store to pick up a Kenobi. 3. What happened between them landing on the planet where Jyn's dad was and he getting blasted off the landing platform? I took a restroom break at that time. 4. What ever happened to Sogarero's line " what will you do when they catch you? What will you do when they break you? What will you become?"

I felt so emotional when each character died. I thought they were all cool and I was sad to see them go but it just made the importance of their mission and their struggle to what they fight against so much greater.

The blind jokes reminded me of Toph in Avatar: The Last Air Bender

Really blow me off when vader star destroyer coming out from hyperspace and rebel fleet nearly jump. Moment cannot be forgotten

Great movie. And I love your channel. Definitely best Star Wars Channel out there. No click bait rumor stuff, just pure facts and tons of knowledge. Great.

I loved the film too, but I have to admit that I didn't see the ghost once and I missed the Hera reference. Maybe I saw chopper but I'm not quite sure. Can you tell me the scenes they were in?

*Warning spoilers!* the only thing I missed was seeing the death star jump out of light speed and just popping up in the middel of the battle field crushing some rebel ships in the progress

What do you think happened to the pilots in the atmosphere at the end they could have easily escaped the Death Star blast and left the plant on the other side to jump out while earth vader's ship dealt with the main fleet or did they all just die

I'd like to point out, I took Vader's pun to be PURELY to remind Krennic just how insignificant he is to Vader, and the Empire as a whole. A show of power to get Krennic in his place.

Wait, when bail was talking with mon motha about a clone wars Jedi. Did he talk about Obi wan or Ahsoka

anyone else not like the score? Felt like a fan film attempt

9:40 Biggs was not in the Rebellion at that point if you count the deleted scenes of ANH as canon. Biggs was supposed to be on Tatooiene searching for a way to join the rebellion as he is telling Luke at Tosche station. Wedge Antilles would have been nice though.

the line 3PO said was a bit off, but it was logic that they were on Yavin 4 with Bail Organa.

vader scene was amazing but it makes me think why he didn't do the same thing on the Tantive IV

there was some stupid fan service but as a stupid star wars fan i enjoyed it

Anyone else loved baze's blaster? I loved how he was mowing down troopers as they came through a door!

Great vid, thanks! I'm feening for spoiler reviews after watching The Rebellion Strikes Back! Agree with e/t except for your R2 & 3PO view. They would have been there with Bail Organa and it was a nice gentle fan touch before the third act.

the Darth Vader fight scene at the end was EPIC! Fear Vader!!

I thought his base was on Sullust.

Finally got to see it last night! OMG it was soooo good!!!!! So many easter eggs! I guess I missed the X-Wing Squadron thing completely, I'm not so up on them is that X-Wing book series the best thing to learn more about them?

Angus MacInnes (Gold Leader) owned the pizza restaurant next to my house when I was a kid, he use to give me free pizza most nights as his restaurant garden shared the same area as my back garden.

definitely not as connected to these characters as i am TFA characters but i still liked it a lot.
