The asymmetrical and guerrilla warfare of the Rebels against the uniformed Stormtroopers is amazing and shows the contrast. This movie had grand scenes.
did the ST's really show any signs of uniformity or strategy in this fight? Even the fresh reinforcements @1:40 just all come racing in with no formation at all just pins to be knocked down 😅
@Erik Ryan Nah we watch this movie to be entertained.
Guerrilla warfare for the win
@Erik Ryan Its Disney not wanting US to understand tactics.
@@spg1794 what did you expect them to do? March slowly in line towards a hostile situation in which the enemy can come from any direction?
This felt like an actual war movie when I first saw it. Years later, it still feels like an actual war movie: something the main films failed to capture.
Cuz the main films involve main characters who are war heros of the Rebel Alliance, some of which have space sorcery. This movie is about lesser known Rebel war heros that often involved themselves with underground or t3rr0r15t cells, of the Rebellion. A lot more gritty and grounded.
Also, it felt incredibly good to see the Empire actually kick butt. They should be this huge and menacing force you can hit only in targetted raids, and which the rest of the time you have to hide and run from. The rebels take some terrible losses in this film, as they should given the force disrepancy.
Showing a crying kid trapped in crossfire was pretty bold. They never did that in SW. The moment I watch this i knew this movie was different.
And Jyn’s actions are a great “show, don’t tell” way of revealing her character.
Love how the AT-ST just walks in mogging the rebels
and the squad of stormtroopers inexplicably not using its armored legs for cover😅
@@spg1794 Oh yeah, you're definitely gonna be getting a lot of cover behind those.
@@spg1794 Absolutely. Whenever I'm playing the Thrawns revenge/AOTR mods for Starwars Empire at war, I always put the tanks out front, infantry just behind, and scout troopers on the flanks.
@@homer6292 they’re rebelling against the empire are they not?
@@johnnymcblaze Are they heavy tanks or lighter ones
I gotta say, I’ve plenty of Star Wars battle but this one is unsettlingly familiar and nuts. Battles we usually see are in open nowhere but this is crowded with innocent bystanders who can get hurt or killed in the crossfire. Also for the soldiers, especially ones being ambushed, are in cramped spaces and can get off guard and can’t focus since the shooting coming from almost every direction.
That's one of the reason why the battle scenes in this movie are so good. They're dark and gritty with actual civilians caught in the crossfire that both the Rebels and Imperials care nothing of.
@@alexiaNBC Well, Saw and his men didn't give a fig about civilians--other rebel factions might have had reservations.
I forgot how impressive some of the action sequences in Rouge One are
not only a great action scene in a SW movie, a GREAT action scene in any movie, period
Eh i don't really think so, it starts off fantastic but gets pretty bad towards the end with the brainless and blind stormtroopers.
@@kazak8926 they’re in an environment they aren’t used to/have barely been trained for and are equipped with vehicles and equipment that aren’t designed for it. Wait…
0:22 I find it so badass the way those rebels pulled out their blasters as they were ready on the dot
Then got gunned down 2 seconds later
@@jah96 went out with a bang
The reason this scene is so memorable is because the tactics used by the Rebel cell here is so uncomfortably similar to real life "terrorists"
EDIT: And I have to add that most "terrorists" are often real life rebels cause just like in Star Wars, the Rebels are almost exclusively referred to as terrorists by the Empire
Yes, it really increases the shock value of the scene (and the film itself) by showing a group of rebels who have been depicted as wholly good up until now being perfectly willing to attack Imperial troops despite the likelihood of civilian casualties.
The message should be clear to those who reason: this kind of warfare is sometimes the only option left when facing an oppressor with overwhelming technological superiority. Either you can live oppressed or die free
@@PhillyPhilly1I think the Imperial occupation of Jedha and the Coalition occupation of Iraq/Afghanistan is a bit of an unfair comparison
@@sunnex474mmm not really, two incredibly xenophobic armies spurred on with bad intentions that ended with its soldiers dying and being sent home in coffins? The empire are space Nazis with a death laser so they are a magnitude worse
@@sunnex474interestingly, the story behind the Mimban battle in Solo were suppose to parallel Afganistan :P
I like how the stormtroopers are able to shoot the other rebels just fine, but they aren't able to hit Moroff who is 7'7" tall, walking at like 1 mph through the battlefield, and is basically a giant white target.
Star Wars is basicaly a story about plot armors.
The best part about this is how the Partisans attacked first when there were still numerous civillians in the area, showing that they don't care about collateral damages.
Yeah and that's make enemy will not expect them
I actually found this scene quite disturbing because whilst I was used to Star Wars media showing Imperials being perfectly willing to off civilians just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, seeing rebels doing it was a shock. Shows how exceptional Rogue One is as a film.
True but also the empire literally turns this town into a giant tunnel after this scene so I would say any civilian deaths caused by rebels pales in comparison.
@@Potatotenkopf Obviously, but it was still a shock seeing rebels doing it.
@@samalvey8168 Well....I mean lets be real here, they are literally terrorists, they'll do anything to topple the Empire.
Even if that means blowing up a plaza with civilians in it that just happened to have an imperial presence.
I remember everybody collectively gasping and being like "Oh shit!" when the AT-ST came around the corner at the movie theatre. Nobody was expecting it at all.
Thats what happens when you call it heavy armor support because the Rebels and civilians can no longer be told apart.
I would love a Star Wars movie just about this side of the war. Just brutal, gritty combat between the Rebel guerrillas and the Imperial Army troopers and their stormtrooper reinforcements
2:04 - I came here just to see this storm trooper yeet his gun as hard as he can into the wall
I didn’t know that 😂😂😂😂
The rest of the scene was pretty fun, too. Cassian's u-turn, man. He was like, "Hmm, nope. I'm out."
@@plasmusdogmatic4348yeah, he looks like he instantly regretted his decision
2:05 the way that Trooper WHIPS his blaster at the wall cracks me up
This movie was breathtaking. It showed the horrifying aspect of war like no other Star Wars media has done before.
Andor has also succeeded in this aspect
@@joeyk107agreed. Even better than Rogue One imo, which is saying a lot
I just realized the AT-ST is a quick reaction force.
The AT-ST is basically an IFV with legs, and it’s acting as armored support. Pretty neat.
1:53 Rich Evans voice "AT-STs! AT-STs!"
2:07 stormtrooper fell asleep on bench
Lol
Hes a heavy sleeper
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dammit, Gary!
The crying child and mother were later killed in the destruction of Jedha via the Death Star.
2:03 You can see Nemik's Manifesto in Cassian's right shoulder
Yea that is so cool
oh yeah he kept it with him, that’s awesome
I like how they depicted the stormtroopers as an actual army, not clowns lmao, even if they aren't the best troops they will still kill you and get the job done
I love the part where Jyn saves a little girl from all the chaos because that’s the kind of woman she is
Yes and in the end it´s pointless because the girl and her mother are going to be killed by the death star.
Hope the girl and her mum got a ticket for a flight out of Jedha before that "mining accident" happened.
@@freitag424 They could've left the city before it got blown up bruh
@@princetonchia1285 They could, but it´s pretty unlikely.
@@princetonchia1285 Realistically no they couldn't have unless it was by sheer coincidence. Not one single civilian knew what the Death Star was, so once the weapon fired that was it. Their fate were sealed the moment that ISD left the city.
I like how it’s the Totalitarian regime unit vs a terrorist organization
Yes==Empire vs Saw Guerrera's bunch = Syria and Wagner Group vs DAESH and various other Jihadist Groups, with minimal concern for collateral damage.
Easily one of my favourite Star Wars films.
This turned into a war zone really quickly
Impressive with the Jyn fights by close range with her gun. If only if there could've been action fighting with her.
that gun was also a baton
She deserve more action scenes
@@houseofmatrix6174 She sure did, especially on Scarif.
@@matthewkretschmer7010 I hate that they took away her actions scenes still great movie
@@jakerodriguez6552 Did it look as if she killed those of the stormtroopers that she hit with that baton?
I loved this movie because pf how milataristic it was and how it portrayed the war i wish we get something like this about the clone wars again yes we have umbara but i want more
The one thing i really loved about this movie is that unlike the OT, the rebel alliance were evil in some ways as well while stormtroopers weren't bumbling idiots.
I love this scene, its basically terrorist attack where the partisans dont care about civilians and attack the imperials on the street.
They seem more reckless here than evil. Although starting this shoot-out in the middle of a city would scare people and possibly kill non-combatants this technically isn't terrorism since the violence is directed towards a military transport and not solely targeted towards civilians.
However, in a war crimes trial Saw Gerrera could possibly be held liable for the collateral damage in which he would have to prove that the tactical advantage gained by attacking the Stormtroopers was worth the unintended deaths and destruction.
Even if he could prove that it was necessary he could still possibly be sued by the families of the people killed during this assault and also forced to pay compensation to the people who owned any property destroyed.
Are they even Rebels here? Suppose they are Saw's men and fighting Vs the Empire so everyone is a rebel on some level.
Though this isn't the rebel alliance but Saw's Insurgents.
@@Negativvv they're rebels, they might not be part of "The Rebellion" but they're still rebels
This scene and "Rogue One" in general, look and feel even better (if that is even possible), now that the first season of "Andor" is out. The show bolsters the movie and vice versa. Completing the journey with the second season of "Andor" is the one and only thing I still want to see or have anything to do with Lucasfilm and Disney "Star Wars"...
exactly my feelings, i dont care about rest, other shows are cheap jokes, but im extremely hyped for Season 2 of Andor and then rewatch of R1.
"Harry, you're alive..
And you're a horrible shot."
2:38 this scene is always so funny💀🤣
This is the moment When Andor realizes he could enjoy a beautiful sunset with this girl.
Too soon lol
Too SOON!
A starset, you might say...
beautiful sunset… yeah they did, in a way…
1:11 wow, stormtrooper armour worked for once.
I wish Rebels hadn't toned down some of the action sequences, because that show had very similar scenes like this!
POV: you’re an American soldier in Fallujah
Nah, more like you're a 'contractor' on a mission in Syria to make contact with the YJP, while Daesh and the Syrian Army are 'having at it'
I find the first couple of minutes of this scene incredible. Excellent not only by Star Wars standards but in terms of film in general. The build-up of tension, the sound, the violence..I am there in the moment. But than after 2:00 the typical Star Wars implausibility kicks in. Bummer.
Maybe Disney will hire Michael Mann do to the sequel
The hell, the entire scene is great
We need more Star Wars content like this from Disney! Rogue one was and still is a perfect Star Wars movie in my opinion.
Be sure to check out Andor!
@@saladspinner3200yes, I’ve also watched Andor and I thought that was amazing as well! I am quite excited for s2
@@Markysgood I just hope Disney treats the project and the production of S2 just like S1; as if it didn't exist. The free reign of the writers and directs made it turn out so well.
The parallels between this movie and Israel/Palestine, down to the Empire calling the rebels "t3rrori$ts", are numerous. The Empire even glasses Scarif, just like Israel flattening Gaza
The rebels are terrorists (LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE!!)
Better than the new Star Wars movies by a long shot.
Better than most of Lucas’s movies
Rogue one is the best Disney Star Wars imo. Love the action scenes in this! Gareth Edwards did a very awesome job! I hope to see Jyn Erso again in Andor 😊👍
2:24Bro got hit so bad by Jin he screamed like a girl☠️
No that’s Jyn grunting.
It’s almost like a war in the real world. This setting is kind of similar to the Middle East.
It's eerily similar to al kida ambushing American patrols in Afghanistan
I love how these rebels(partisans) look and act like actual terrorists and dont care about civilians it feels grounded, great battle scene.
So this is whats going on right now
Someones terrorist is another mans freedom fighter.
i admire that this movie shows stormtroopers as a threat
I get Battle of Stalingrad vibes from this.
1:57 did anyone spotted moroff the gigorian rebel the Yeti species
Here ->01:40
0:25 "Stormtroopers cant aim"
Well, those three were killed by nothing, then.
They can only kill people who don’t have plot armor
@@odstsoldier6252 literally the only time we saw them having shit aim was on the death star and it was intentional so they could let them escape to find the base. Every scene after that they seem to know what they’re doing. They pop ewoks pretty good
@@ButchersNailsEnjoyer 2:07 as well, plot armor makes them aim bad, besides then they have good aim
@@georgemurdock7670 exactly, I wish they made it a little more believable
Stormtrooper deniers be like
“Must’ve been the wind”
The best star wars film ever. Never tired to watch reruns
Calmest day in Kabul:
We need a stormtrooper movie band of brothers and Jarhead style
Love this! Excellent scene in an awesome movie!
Hopefully the new andor show will be something like this
What did you think of the show?

This gives me Afghanistan and Iraq war vibes.
Space Nazis vs. Space Isis
You just summed up whole Empire in just two words.
It’s actually based on the early 20th century Arab rebellions against Ottoman occupation. Saw Gerrera is basically Lawrence of Arabia.
fact: some stormtroopers are either dead or knocked out
I love how the weapons have more of a load pop sound, like real guns.
*Ron Burgundy voice* that escalated quickly😮
Wish Disney made another movie like this! I loved it so much when I first saw it!
You can definitely tell the scene was recut from something intended to be far more serious in tone
It’s still a very serious scene though. No forced one-liners in the middle of battle ala Marvel. The comedic relief only happens when the fighting is over.
How tf is this scene not a serious tone?
That last part though. XD
To Star Wars fans, what is the grenade used to kick off the ambush 0:17-0:19? The deathtrroopers’ grenades have been in Visual Guide, but not this one used by Saw’s rebels. Anyone know its Star Wars name/type?
I’m a bit late, however that grenade is known as a thermal imploder. It’s a bit more powerful then your average thermal detonator and packs more of a punch.
Sci fi pipe bomb
Probably just an IED of some type.
@@georgemurdock7670 Galaxy Kaboomer
It’s a thermal imploder i believe. The size, design and shape match
The best star wars prequel. Don't change my mind. Hahaha
watching this i wonder why AT-ST couldnt have been made as a droid instead of needing pilots
Lore-wise, the Empire formally outlawed battle droids after the Clone Wars. To use one themselves would’ve been bad PR even by their standards.
Btw, they got away with using the KX droids like K2SO because they were designated “security droids.”
A droid could easily be disabled by an EMP grenade, a Armored Fighting Vehicle crewed by humans is much easier to produce and recover.
Ah yes space Fallujah
My favourite Star Wars film
When this skirmish first breaks out, two of Saw Gerrara’s partisans get shot and killed by the stormtroopers.
Not going to lie this scene is my most favorite scene because A) the combat is crazy unlike other battles shown in star wars B) some very hilarious scene such as 2:05 some random stormtrooper yeeting his gun into the wall as hard as he can and then the main characters running around doing hilarious moves.
The prequels feel like green screen paintings. This movie - even the cgi - feels palpable. The dirt and blood of a real war.
Showing that walker turn the corner looks terrifying.
Funny how everyone conveniently forgets this movie when complaining about how Disney “ruined Star Wars.” Almost like they know they’ll only undercut their own already weak arguments.
Despite how good rogue one is Disney still ruin Star wars.
Well Rogue One is the only good movie Disney made, so of course it won’t be mentioned in the sludge puked of other films and shows.
clone wars rebels mando kenobi solo andor are all peak
One good movie doesnt make up for over 10+ terrible movies and shows.
@@aisdone5284I’m sorry but Kenobi is objectively awful what are you on about?
This scene reminds me to the Sovjet invasion in Afganistan. But I don't fully understand, why did Cassian shoot that separatist. Maybe Jyn was there?
He shot the guy with the Grenade because the guy with the grenade was going to throw it at the tank where Jyn was hiding.
I love the alien separatist that stares at him. It's such a blank expression devoid of any semblance to a human face but somehow you know in his mind, he's thinking "I can't believe you've done this..."
@@donpula6349 soooo... terrorists?
@@donpula6349 all rebels are terrorists in the eyes of our glorious empire
@@donpula6349 I mean that was the point. It's meant to show that the rebels, even the Alliance themselves, weren't as benevolent as they were portrayed in the OT.

1:57 man, that dude got his face blasted off
1:52 “Ahhh AT-ST”
I still think this is the best Star Wars movie since Empire
This is what Star Wars Rebels should have been 90% of the time, instead of it being kid-friendly enough that Season 1 of TCW is laughing at it.
The Spectres were nothing like Saw's much more ruthless faction.
Quit whining about a completely different kind of show, it was great.
@MrDK0010 it was great despite having no believable antagonists, huh?
yeah, even if gerrera’s partisans are different from the rebels, they can still show us some of that guerrilla warfare, since the early alliance also utilized it
@@MrDK0010 LOL Rebels wasn't great.
@@MrDK0010the show was completely different because its a cartoon for children. That is fine, but not if you want to tell me it is the same universe as Rogue One.
Only thing I absolutely HATED.. was how they made you like/love the characters in this movie.. only to die all at the end.. every time I watch the movie.. I still wish at least Jyn and Cassian survived.. I mean you can’t make a show about Cassian Andor.. knowing the character dies.. still overall I loved the movie and still is one of the better films they put out around that time
if they were alive wouldnt they help fight in the OG trilogy? killing them makes sense because where would the characters be during the entire OG trilogy?
well they did make a show and it rivalled the mandalorian
darth vader dies too, doesn't make his story any less interesting.
They all die, but they all died so that Luke could destroy the Death Star. Their sacrifices weren’t in vain.
Tf this is so unbelievably dumb, alright what’s the point of the prequels then if we know they’ll all die and we’ve seen how it ends🤦
Somehow Cassian looks older in R1 than in Andor. Diego looks incredible for his age.
for real, what is in this dude’s water
Wait why did Cassian shot that guy at 1:14? Wasn't that a Rebel too?
Basically, they needed Jyn to be alive so that they could get close to Saw Gerrera. Jyn was right next to the hovertank, and the guy on the building was about to throw the bomb on the hovertank, which would have killed Jyn. So Cassian shot the guy so Jyn wouldn't die.
@@joeyk107 Thank you, nice explanation.
cassian ALWAYS shoots first. the man is cold as ice.
that rebel was actually not part of the alliance, but a part of saw gerrera’s partisans. he was about to chuck a grenade at the imperials and kill Jyn in the process, so Cassian decided it was better to kill them than her
@@juancabardo21 Thanks!
