It was impossible for Vader to confront Rogue One. They were on a Beach which had Too Much Sand lol

Leia: "I'm a member of the Empirial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan." Vader: "Please, I saw you leave the Battle like 10 minutes ago."

Just watched the movie, and Brah, that Vader scene, no words can describe the beauty of that scene. Even the intro with the Bacta tank with tubes looking like huge horns. Damn.

Are we Blind?! This was totally better than The Last Jedi!

great movie full of amazing scenes. but my highlight is when they put a blind fold on the blind dudes head and he's just like, "really? im blind" ahahaha

The darth Vader scene at end was one of the greatest Star Wars scene ever

*Vader Breathing in the darkness* *Lightsaber comes out amidst the blackness* Rebel Soldier: 0_0.........OPEN FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!! *Begin the slaughter of Rebel Scums*

Behind that mask you could tell Darth Vader was smiling the entire time during that last scene.

About the Vader rampage, one thing that stuck me was that none of the poor sods had likely ever seen a Jedi or Sith in combat, and all of a sudden this inhumanly tall figure with god-like powers and a sword of red plasma emerges from the shadow and starts slaughtering them. Imagine the oh-fuck-what-the-fuck going on in their heads. Fantastic.

People who complain about character development in this movie don't complain about it in other war movies like saving private Ryan or black hawk down. People need to realize this is a WAR movie. In saving private Ryan. Do you know the snipers back story? Do you know why he is so religious? No. he is just a character in the squad Same goes for all the other characters. So we don't need to know all the back stories of all the characters. We just need to know that they are all people who have been hurt. And wronged. And we get that feeling in rogue one and their sacrifice was all the better for it. They all knew they were never getting out and that's what makes them heroes.

The film is Halo Reach

I just realised, this is very similar to Halo Reach. Everyone dies, but they get crucial information to the characters who escape which immediately leads to the first story.

It seemed to me that everyone that knew Tarkin was CGI before going into the movie thought it looked a bit weird and everyone that didn't know it was CGI before going into the movie thought he was real

That Darth Vader scene is the greatest movie scene in 2016

Am I the only person who thought tarken's cgi was a lot better than leia's ?

Rogue One was more of a Suicide Squad than the Suicide Squad

Republic Commando deserves a remaster

Vader kickin ass at the end made the ticket prize worth alone..

IS NO ONE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE DARK SABER REFERENCE?!?!??!?!!

Vader's scene was brutal, horrifying and showed people the need for Luke Skywalker. He deflected multiple bolts at once He used telekenis to throw people around and or make them float in mid-air He choked people to death He froze and absorbed blasts and threw them back at the rebels (look again if you didn't see.) He deflected shots into the guy holding the data. Look closely, there are 3 people who hold the data at one point. He kills the first, cripples the second before killing him and only with a lucky toss does that data reach the rebels. Best scene in Star Wars.

Darth Vader - "Be careful not to choke on your aspirations"

The last scene with Vader was the most terrifying scene in any of the Star Wars movies

What do you mean it took luke 2-3 movies to get to that point ? It took Luke a few minutes after his aunt and uncle getting killed to want to get involved with the rebellion

When Vader enters, I’ve noticed a lot of people forget that the rebels had little to no knowledge of him and his capabilities.

Best reference in the movie: Hammerhead corvette from KOTOR

Stormtroopers actually hit stuff in this movie

the third Act had me shed a fucking tear, i don't cry often but that third Act just KILLED me with what happened

they could've fought vader on scarif, but vader doesn't like sand ;)

IMO Rogue One is far better than TFA

The third act is basically Halo: Reach leading up to Halo 1.

That last scene with Darth Vader was the most awesome thing I have ever seen.

The reason why Jyn changed her attitude toward the rebellion in the film so quickly was because of the truth she discovered in the hologram, where her father firmly believed in the cause to destroy the death star. After his death this would have spurred her on to complete her fathers wish and also by the fact that no-one initially believed her father intentionally sabotaged the death star. Cant believe you guys overlooked that.

Nobody's going to talk about the blue milk cameo? Ok shit

dat vader scene was legit af, and i felt for most of the characters

I want a Clone Wars movie! Why try and repair the prequels with a new trilogy, rather then make a movie focusing on a singular Clone, or something.

"I am one with The Force and The Force is with me"

I want a Vader movie where he travels across the universe killing all the Jedi in hiding. The Vader scene is my favorite movie scene this year.

I'd love a movie about Vader hunting down the remaining Jedi that takes place a little after Revenge of the Sith.

GIVE ME AN R RATED STAR WARS MOVIE

Honestly making the characters forgettable was the whole point imo. In the original trilogy they are never referenced. You just know that the plans for the Death Star were stolen and that was it. Their sacrifice is never acknowledged because the Rebels are so driven to win. No matter the cost. For those who died it's a small foot note in the bigger scheme of things. It's a story that will never be told. Giving them a back story and fleshing them out would've only made things more complex for the original trilogy of who they were. In the end, they were just soldiers who died for the cause....which makes it that much more painful.

Han Solo movie? No thanks. Darth Vader, please.

The last scene of this movie. I mean holy shit. Even Game of Thrones doesn't kill off ALL of its main characters. lol.

those rebel soldiers around the end of the movie, seeing vader for the first time... just amazing. they even held back before shooting him, not knowing who he was

I saw everyone's death coming before the main people started dropping off. It's what had to happen for the story, and I'm glad they weren't afraid to do it.

Tarkin's CGI looked perfect to me, Leia was a little noticeable, to be honest

Guys ... that Vader scene!?!? Best scene EVER of Star Wars in my opinion.

I am the force, the force is with me. I am the fore, the force is with me. I am the force, the force is with me. I am the force, the force is with me

Jyn after her father dies: "Rebellions have caused me nothing but pain" Next scene: *Preaching about rebellions and hope* And that's her problem. Her development is cramped and shit.

i didnt even know tarkin was CGI, thought he was an actor

dony made me laught out loud when he said but I'm blind when they covered his face

Little Did They Know That The Mandalorian Series Was In The Making.

Just because recycling ANH was intended doesn't make it a good idea. Rogue One was a good direction to go in... TFA however... yurghs.

Tantive IV crewmember: "Your Highness, what did they give us?" Leia: "Hope." -I'm 37 years old and I started crying in the theater...

They had the Hammerheads from KOTOR 11/10

Completely disagree about Kylo ren. It has nothing to do with him being like Vader. He's a weak villain. He doesn't have to be like Vader, he has to actually be a strong character.

I just get back from Kevin Smith review. He said pretty interesting thing. Basically, he said, you can't blame not in much in-depth characterization as Rogue One is category a War Movie. In War Movie, it's not obligatory to have well built characterization. However, you are oblige to make a well battle scene. So this movie did score 10/10.

Best scene was the doom of Donnie Yen and Baze. I couldn't help but become emotional.

I think Tarkin actually looked better than Leia.

1st act: okay that's pretty good 2nd act: Still good 3rd Act: Well... That escalated quickly.

Not even a hardcore Star Wars fan, but when the movie was over at the final scene, don't know about you but this movie instantly made me get up of my seat an a applaud, and everyone joined with me ;) Originally amazing,a movie that will stand on its own and one that will be remembered. WORTHY of the CINÉMA.

9 stars of 10. That final Darth Vader scene of him ruthlessly and effortlessly tearing through those fleeing, batshit terrified rebels was blood curdling. It was like something out of a horror movie.

0/10 no porkins cameo lol

The whole force is with me thing could explain why storm troopers shoot so horribly in the first three films because the main characters are around a super strong force user

This movie 10/10. Like the shear perfection. It was like Battlefront the Movie. Characters loved all of them. This movie was so sad and exciting. And what made it better was I WASN'T SPOILED!

They all die because none of them are in a new hope

i liked that the last scene with vader was sort of like a horror movie. the way the music was and the way the rebels were screaming, how hopless they were and Vader just brutally butchered them

ROGUE ONE WAY BETTER THAN THE FORCE AWAKEN

Why is it so hard to believe Jyn's change of heart when it came to the rebellion? At first when she was watching the hologram of him, it wasn't at that point that she just suddenly made the change. At that point she found out what her Father had been through and what he sacrificed his freedom to do. Then she finds out where he is so they go to Eadu to "rescue" him but the base is attacked by Rebel fighters and Galen is killed. Just before dying he tells her that the Death Star has to be destroyed and at this point of the movie, she's seen what the Death Star can do, as it destroyed the entire city of Jedha in one blast. It's not until after Galen dies that she decides she will do whatever it takes to get the plans to destroy the Death Star because she doesn't want her fathers entire lifes attempt to create this vulnerabilty and his ultimate death to be in vain. She has also seen the destruction that this single space station can cause when not even at full potential and realizes that there won't be anywhere safe if this weapon continues to exist and the Empire will then have complete control over the entire galaxy. I don't see why people have SO MUCH difficulty comprehending the storytelling that Rogue One tells. There are still plot points or scenes that are weak in the film, but this aspect of the movie isn't one of them. Overall it was a great movie.

Jyn joining the rebellion when she didn't care about the conflict - It was to redeem her father, it brought her feelings for her father back and he wanted her to save the rebellion stop the death star, it is a perfect explonation. Dont understand why anybody woulldnt understand that. This movies flaws are really small things. It is 9/10

If you think about it, it's basically Star Wars' version of Halo Reach.

Great spoiler discussion guys. Having a passion for film led me to study animation and film & media studies. So, it is great to see a knowledgeable group of guys sitting around and discussing and debating earnestly about newly released films. I agree with you guys and many other reviewers on KZfaq who have said Rogue One gives us the Darth Vader we have always wanted to see - a badass who relentlessly and mercilessly cuts a swathe through a number of opponents.

They should really make a star wars movie about the clone troopers!

I love you Joe but one thing that is very annoying about you and i have seen it in several videos is that you always think your opinion is right. You keep trying to correct your friends and even when they "give" proof that they are right or justify their opinions with some "facts" you just move on and ignore it instead of going "ok, i was wrong." If it´s annoying to me it must be very annoying to them as well, that´s why he felt like mentioning again that families do live in Star Destroyers. Again i am a huge fan but it becomes annoying to see you act like you know everything and are always right and when you aren´t, you don´t even adress it or just move on. It´s kind of a double standard that you feel the need to correct people and don´t even correct yourself or let people do it. I know when you are the big man among your friends and it´s your channel it´s hard to admit you are wrong but c´mon man, you are better than that.

when the movie finished one guy yelled "where the FUCK are the bothans"

I felt tarkins cgi was on point but leias needed some work

My only issues with the movie are the scenes where they just exposit tons of information that they either do not need to speak about OR we could get this information in a more interesting way than just watching people talk across a room to one another.

News flash Joe, just because jar jar Abrams said Force Awakens was intentionally a remake of A New Hope doesn't mean it's not shit. There's no excuse for not writing a fresh and new story with good characters and less fan service bullshit. Kylo Ren is not an intimidating villain and saying it's "not his thing" doesn't make him a better character. He's a shit villain who was beaten by a girl who just learned what the Force was a few hours ago.

Let's not forget the chopper and the crew of the ghost from Star Wars Rebels made a cameo.

I enjoyed it a lot more than Force Awakens. Force Awakens to me is like a retelling of A New Hope with different characters; playing it safe. Rogue One felt like the Black Hawk Down of Star Wars and I was way more into it.

Just a quick thing about Stormtrooper armor: it dissipates the energy from blaster bolts (at least in the Legends canon), but the force still causes the trooper wearing the armor to get knocked out, so while they go down easily, they survive and can get back up later. ;) Now, I'm not sure if that trooper Joe said got shot several times would be making feeling too good later, or if he'd be feeling at all later, but that's why the bolts didn't pierce the trooper's armor.

Darth Vader scene was worth price of admission

Someone please tell me that the members of Rogue One will be remembered. Their role in destroying the death star was too important for them to not be remembered

Great review. There was a lot to this film that most reviewers neglected to talk about.

Great review guys

Just saw it. It started slow but the last 30-40 minutes were the most exciting of all Star Wars movies. The last 10 minutes were EPIC! I rank Rogue One in the top 3 of all Star Wars movies.

I like how Joe just flat-out says people are *wrong* for criticising Episode 7 for being too similar to Episode 4. So what that it was the intention of the makers of the film? That doesn't mean it's not a valid point of criticism. There were people who wanted something new and they did not get what they hoped for. That doesn't mean they're wrong! I like you Joe but that was a really dumb thing to say.

Joe: "Well hold on Del, I wanted these guys to respond" *5 seconds later, interrupts Other Joe* Man, Joe is a condescending dude.

Hammerhead corvette scene is right out of the game Homeworld Cataclysm. Ramming Frigate. I approve!

Is this the first film where grenades were used?

Basically the Halo Reach of Star Wars films

33:00 I'm searching for stories about that. Sounds super interesting, but I'm not finding anything about it. Anyone got info on that? The Imperials fighting some Outer-Rim threat? Sounds cool.

K2 is like Ethan from Infinite Warfare.

leya's CGI looks worse then tarkens to me

I still think Tarkin's CGI was better than Leia's, but still, they had balls to even go with CGI in the first place, so a point for that.

The stormtrooper armor is made to take the force of the blast and send it through the entire body, that's why they kinda fall back. They generally don't die but will usually fall unconscious or be paralyzed for a few minutes

29:55 they go down in one shot because storm trooper armor is meant to disperse the impact over the suit, witch can save storm troopers lives and injures but the downside is they usually get knocked out from the shot. in other words storm trooper armor is meant to allow troopers to live to fight another day with as few injures as possible at the cost of being knocked out by the impact instead of trying to stop the bolt outright with a chance of being able to continue fighting like a bulletproof vest like the clone troopers armor was.

This movie was LIGHT YEARS better than TFA. I can't even believe you are trying to compare the two. It's like comparing a rock to a diamond.

Don't forget when Bail Organa mentions Ben Kenobi before he goes back to Alderaan. One of my favorite little parts of the movoe

29:15 That was an easter egg in rougue one. Back in "A New Hope" when obi wan sneaks into the deathstar and is trying to deactivate the tractor beam...you overhear 2 stormtroopers saying "Have you heard about those new VT-16 units?" Since A New Hope takes place after Rogue One...that's why the VT-15 is obsolete

a 501st movie would be sick. a movie you kind of root for the empire
