Stam Fine Reviews looks at the first of the planned standalone Star War side-stories: Rogue One, A Star Wars Story. Director Gareth Edwards (and partly at least Tony Gilroy) have given us the best Star Wars film in decades. Stars Felicity Jones as Jyn Erso, Diego Luna as Cassian Andor, Alan Tudyk as K2SO, Ben Mendelsohn as Krennic, Forest Whitaker as Saw, and Mads Mikkelsen as Galen. Also: Riz Ahmed, Donnie Yen, Wen Jiang, Genevieve O'Reilly, and Jimmy Smits. - Zábava
Rogue One was what the sequels should have been.
But it's not, it's a prequel.
@@miketran4289 He just means they should have respected SW instead of trying to rewrite everything and be good instead of sucking
@@miketran4289 I'd say it's a midquel since the prequels have been released🤣
@@donkeysaurusrex7881 lol What do you mean "rewrite"?
Rogue One did that. It ruined A New Hope.
Every Star Wars film or show by Disney that has storm troopers and rebels falls flat for me.
Season one of the mandalorian is their only good product.
@@FriendlyCroockwithout imperials or rebels you can hardly call it STAR WARS. ....
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!
Same with Andor. IMO it's the best piece of SW media since ESB
I'm sure Disney are absolutely FURIOUS that people love RO so much and not the horrible Rey movies.
@@Foebane72 guarantee you they don’t care because those movies made money
@@farwoodfarm9296 Agreed, but not just Starwars, it's the best thing I've watched in 2022.
lol I do not like this film one bit.
Except for some of the action scenes maybe.
The only Star Wars good movie under disney.
100% this.
I would argue solo is 100% better then this. Its a absolutely gorgeous looking movie, but it still has a lot of flaws, with the chief problem being underdeveloped characters. Post andor has corrected this to a point, but judged on its own merits it has trouble standing.
I thought solo was good not amazing but still a good movie
@@jonaswhitt4322 - I think Solo was a bit too intent on explaining everything. Like how he got his name, how he met Chewbacca, how he obtained his blaster pistol, how the Kessel Run happened, why C3PO accused the Millenium Falcon of having a "peculiar dialect". It was a bit of an overload of coincidental explanations, all condensed into a brief segment of Han Solo's history.
Rogue One stepped over the line a few times (like having Jyn run into Evazan and Ponda Baba just days before they showed up at the Mos Eisley cantina) but it wasn't as much of an overload.
@@jonaswhitt4322 nah bro solo is a great film but this was a master piece.
Preaching the truth. Rogue One is a damn fine Star Wars film.
YUP...Love it....I own it...great flick!
Rogue 1 had “the feels” of the original Star Wars trilogy. Nothing else has. The original ‘trilogy’ is now four movies long. 👍🏼
This is the best Star Wars movie since the Return of the Jedi
Comes cloose to some of the novels and Star Wars Comics
I’d say Revenge of the Sith
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.
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.
I feel like the imperfections make it perfect but I 100% agree with you
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.
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.
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
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 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.
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
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.
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.
No it wouldn't. ESB is the least Star Warsy Star Wars movie. No dog fighting. Barely any alien life. No grand set pieces and action scenes. The opening battle was the equivalent of tying an elephant's shoe laces together, the saber fight was good though. Lucas likes Star Wars to have more than one tone. And ESB has one tone. Dire, and Dark. And the SW universe is more diverse than that. The best representation of what Star Wars "is" is Return of the Jedi.
@@treborkroy5280 Pfft. ROTJ might as well have been called The Muppets in Space.
@@valmarsiglia because of one species? The Ewoks? Planet Earth has species that look cuter and sillier than them and are actual real animals. Please..
@Trebor Kroy The Ewoks (I didn't know the Earth had anthropomorphic teddy bears), Jabba's Muppet palace and those godawful musicians, just the overall tone was incredibly silly, more like a kids' show than a SW movie.
PS: And Hamill's haircut, lol.
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.
Loved Rouge One!
And that scene with Dark Vader!
Rouge One? A new make up line by Maybelline!
I loved this movie. Beautifully shot.
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)
Tell me you watched Andor?
You haven't missed anything
@@farwoodfarm9296 Andor is even better than Rogue One IMO. The rumor is that season 2 is going to end right at the beginning of where Rogue One starts. That would be quite cool.
Make sure you watch ANDOR...ABSOLUTE stellar.
Superb acting, story. I'd say it's just behind Empire Strikes Back. I freaking love Rogue One
And to think we had no idea we would have gotten a superb prequel series to this stellar Rogue One...in comparable ANDOR!!!
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 🤔
No, just more realistic. War is a dirty business and nobody is entirely good.
I love how Donnie Yen reprised his Zatoichi role in John Wick. With a Chris Walken flair.
I'm sending Steven Seagal a gallon of ointment. That was a savage nerd-burn. 🤣
Got a genuine laugh out of me.
It would be great to see the Gareth Edwards's directors cut.
or at the very least the deleted scenes!
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.
This is the only Star Wars movie I wish I could watch in the theater. It is way better than what some claim
Yes it was good in the theater. My favorite modern Star Wars film.
And I saw it in 3D!
Seeing the Darth Vader scene in theaters was insane lol.
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.
Same here....boy do I want Andor in a physical medium.....pleassssssseeeee yes, I hope they do.
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.
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.
Disney needs to bite the bullet and recast any roles of old characters that pop up from time to time instead of covering up their faces and voices.
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...
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
The Stephen Seagal dig is GOLD 😂
Rogue One is great. One of those films that you just put on every now and then.
Best of the new Star Wars films
Absolutely, the best. Thanks for the fantastic research and presentation
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.
THE PREQUEL WITH No EQUAL - I like the phrase here very fitting!
As far as I'm concerned, Rogue One was the final good Star Wars movie after ROTS.
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.
Yup, my favorite disney star wars movie
Rogue One is by far the greatest "Star Wars Feeling" movie since E6 ❤️
This has become my favorite SW movie, but ESB is still almost tied.
Yes, agree. This was my favorite modern Star Wars films. I like the smart ass robot and how it dovetailed into a new hope.
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
Tudyk is a gem.
Rember when I saw it in theaters it was the Star Wars movie I’ve been waiting decades for
It's so quick, but the Steven Seagal 19Kb gag _destroyed_ me, rofl 🤣🤣🤣
Its a great movie for sure. I really wanna see the sequences that were cut, they need to bring out all the deleted scenes
Best Star Wars movie EVER.
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.
This video "was a surprise, but a welcome one to be sure." Entertaining, it was. New sub!
Great movie. One of my absolute favorites 💓
Best Star Wars film by a country mile
imo R1 is the best of the universe since Empire.
My third favourite of all Star Wars films, only behind A New Hope and The. Empire Strikes Back.
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
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.
Yeah, I guess mounting a starfighter attack to hit a nearly impossible target had a higher percentage of success than planning an infiltration and sabotage mission into the bowels of the reactor…oh wait…
The best Star Wars movie
I'm not a big Star Wars fan, but I really enjoyed this movie.
Rogue One and Andor are the best products of Disney's StarWars, Period.
I've lost it at Steven Seagal floppy disk. Awesome review, you got a subscriber.
great movie- great commentary.
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).
Apparently in the next Disney Star Wars movie the main baddie is called Rom De Slantis!
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.
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…
The ultimate tease by Disney. A really, really good Star Wars film.
My love for this film cant be describe
Here here!
Andor was a great prequel to this prequel
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.
Rogue One became my favorite Star Wars movie
I'm so glad "Rogue One" gets such acclaim. There is nothing to fault in it.
Three planets in the first 15 minutes?
Great movie, my favorite
And we also got a themed SW BF 2 Scarif map and skins.
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
Thanks for reviewing Rogue One 👍🏻
Better for having no Skywalkers in it. 😂
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.
Definitely in the top 4 star wars movies - with episodes 3,4&5
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!
🤣🤣🤣
Yeah it’s just a coincidence that Jyn and Casian bear more than a passing resemblance to Kyle and Jan.
13:00 😂 Segal’s floppy disk
Doctor Krenick- "The man that thought he got Matthew Quigley."
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.
I saw the originals as a kid but RO is in my top three now great pic
Rouge noun is the StarWars/Holby City crossover we didn't no we needed.
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.
Tony Gilroy 🏆
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.
The irony that Cassian dies by the tech he helped build.
best star wars movie fact
Rogue One is the best single Star Wars movie!
Yes Stam, Starboard is down. (In Space) lol
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.
Best one since the Original trilogy
This is the best new era movie yet done. A personal favorite and a love letter to first generation fans like me. That being said, I find Jen as dull as dishwater. Intelligent, brave and resourceful, but D.U.L.L.
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.
I didn't have a problem with that, figuring they must have been herded aboard the ship when they left Yavin. I'm more bothered by Jyn running into Evazan and Ponda Baba just days before they were at the Mos Eisley cantina.
@@RictusHolloweye ‘member berries, as far as the eye can see
I loved it, R1 was such an interesting view and take on the SW Galaxy
