Me personally, I loved this film. The vistas were great. The action and the vistas. The new AT-ACTs really expanded the Star Wars mythos, too.
Dan Not to mention darth vader
. Have you gotten a NERDBOXtm yet?
Of course I did! I fucking love Star Wars!!!!
well it bares repeating for me personally.
If only the prequels had those AT-AT walkers and X-Wings. The authentic Star Wars tech was the missing piece along with the vistas and the dark tone of the picture. Well done, Disney.
You mean the darkness of the screen right? Couldn't see anything! 11/10!
The Rogue One Squadron= the actual Suicide Squad
What are we, some kinda Rogue One?
LOOOOL
lol , when Bodhi said the ship was Rogue One my buddy leaned over and said "What are we, some kinda Suicide Squad?"
Can't wait to see te extended cut with the deleted scenes of Darth Vader
Ruben Quiros rogue one does suicide squad better than suicide squad
ME PERSONALLY I thought this movie was so dense, every frame had so many things going on
opsimathics AT ST'S AT ST'S!!!!
It broke new GROUND!
It was stylistically designed to be that way, but we can diminish the effects of it.
Again, it's like poetry so that the rhyme. Every stanza kinda rhymes with the last one. Hopefully it'll work.
Anybody want a Pizza Roll? Post a comment on this webzone if you want a Pizza Roll.
The visuals really were incredibly dense. There was so much going on that it felt like it took 12 years to make. There really needs to be a prequel.
This is a movie that won't be forgotten for the next 50, maybe 100,000 years.
Already is
Classic
Will McLaren Rich Evans bouncing a tie fighter off his head brought me to this parody review (minus the self awareness)
2020.... they kind of have.

love rlm
DID YOU CLAP AT ANY OF THE NEW CHARACTERS AND MEMORABLE MOMENTS?
RedLetterMedia brought me here.
NOOOOOOOO
I loved the choke pun, Vader has been witty since the beginning like ''Apology accepted'' while killing the guy and more
DanyyelTR I liked that line too. Glad there are others that feel the same!
BR0TH0RITY bro! Every single person has to love that scene!
DanyyelTR it was ok it's just because lines that were cool on the 70s and 80s are a little corny in 2016
DanyyelTR I absolutely agree. I thought it fit his character perfectly. Vader is that corny, terrifying villain, which is why he is so quotable
Agreed. These nerds are all about the OT and they selectively forget that this is exactly the kind of shit Vader would absolutely say. I thought it was awesome, didn't ring cheesy to me at all.
I love the way krennic met his end by the death star so much irony. I kind of felt sad for him, but it's one of the best villain deaths in a movie.
Taheah Shahdaiah yeah, he died at the hand of Tarkin who then indirectly killed him using the weapon he spent so much time perfecting. I agree, there was a bit of sadness there for him.
Taheah Shahdaiah Krennic*
If irony were strawberries, we'd all have been neck deep in daiquiris.
I was gonna comment this, even the expression from Krennic's actor was just spot on for a man's dreams and aspirations stolen by his own creation
Christopher Ortiz Double irony lol
me personally i love how unbiased and fair your reviews are i'll give it a 11/10 personally
I'm here because of The™ Nerd™ Crew™: A Pop Culture Podcast by Red™ Letter™ Media™
You forgot to trade mark Pop Culture Podcast(TM)?! RLM i would personally love for you to sue this man at once!
Thanks for the advice my friend. Unfortunately it's already too late. I've been sued and convicted. In fact, I'm writing this from the inside of my cell. :(
Sorry to hear that friend :( You can get through this if you keep a positive attitude and remember to pray for the blessings of our lord and saviour, Rich Evans.
He will always be there to help. (At least until the diabetes finally gets him)
Is this video replacing the The(TM) Nerd(TM) Crew(TM): A Pop Culture Podcast by Red(TM) Letter(TM) Media(TM)
its so dense
It's like all rlm fans immediately knew this was the video to go to.
I personally LOVED this movie. I'd give it 11/10 if it was possible. It certainly was better than Empire by so far. I won't even mention Force Awakens, this just, for me personally, is the best SW movie so far.
K2-SO: I have a bad feeling ab...
Jyn and Cassian: Shut the fuck up it's the real deal here
Vader cut someone who was being suspended on the ceiling.....that sums up this movie.....amazing
Jim Hughes he had him up there and started walking and was like "oh you're still alive?" *SLICE*
I guess I'm fucking blind, watched 3 times didn't notice
I am still hooked on the fact he just straight up deflected a bullet with his hand. A lot like in ep 5 but much better,
Gaming 4 Life(Tylerman) I swear in that scene that Vader redirected several shots into different rebels heads. That'd be a first in Star Wars with someone redirecting blaster bolts with just the force into the one who shot it.
Gaming 4 Life(Tylerman) Tutaminis one of the coolest force abilities
OMG they totally ripped on RLM THE Nerd Crew with this parody. It's so funny😂😂😂, they're on their way. I hope RLM doesn't take this burn so hard.
Dont forget about the Vistas. The movie has amazing Vistas.
So amazing they get a capital V !
Vader's scene alone is better than 50% of the movies that came out this year
Zachary Goddard hell or high water, la la land, Manchester by the sea?
Zachary Goddard can't believe I forgot arrival was one of the best this year. Been meaning to check out kubo
If you're a Star Wars fan.
Vaders first scene was lame and didnt feel like Vader. Seriously.
WyrusETS Yes sir indeed! Vader sliced and diced!
I loved that they used Vader's castle and placed it on Mustafar. It really adds another layer to Vader's character.
DarkJedi3000 I thought it was sollust
Gilmartin Pares It has been confirmed as Mustafar.
Mustafar? How ironic lol
DarkJedi3000 well thanks
DarkJedi3000 I also thought it was Sullust too at a first glance, some sort of Imperial factory or something like that but then it hit me! Very thematic and symbolic for Vader to have a place of reflection and recovery on the place where he finally tipped over the edge
I didn't mind Vader's one-liner. Remember in Empire he does the same thing: "Apology accepted, Captain Needa..." I like to think he has a dark sense of humor that he rarely shows.
Very good point!
Showmeyomoves! Same man! I thought it was awesome Vader humor
Man! Was waiting for Mr. James Earl Jones as Vader to finally say, "YIPPEE!". Oh well. lol
Can someone repost this video with a "me, personally" counter in the corner?
ME PERSONALLY thought this film was darker then the others and the best star wars movie ever. I could barely even see what was going on in some scenes it was so dense
I liked the line "Be careful not to choke on your aspirations, Director."
Callum Dainty me too!!!
I don't get why they have an issue with that and not all of k2s lame one liners...
Callum Dainty Vader makes dad jokes #confirmed
I wish I was with you on this but it just pulled me out of the movie a bit, I never thought of Vader as someone who makes puns.
Max Maushardt i see it like him saying "apology accepted captain Needa" as vader force chokes him to death.
I loved the choke line. I thought it fit Vader perfectly guys. Vader has said some puns before in empire and new hope or did you forget about that?
It was also all throughout The Clone Wars. Anakin loved him some puns.
I agree. “Be careful you do not choke on your aspiration.” was perfect for Vader. I thought they nailed it.
Ahh but those puns are in the OT and no one can dare criticize the OT in the minds of nearly all those people at Collider, but if it's any other Star Wars movie, you can!
This attitude is ridiculous. Me personally, I loved the line, and I loved Vader's similar lines in IV-VI
I agree. It felt like a Vader comment. Didn't even think about the line until this review.
Wonderer Traveler I didn't think it was cheesy at all, thought it was classic Vader
IT BROKE NEW GROUNNNDDDDD!!!!!
RLM just ripped these guys up
me personally
I liked the "don't choke on your ambition" line... Vader has always had a slightly troll-y side. :P
Jonathan DeBruyn got his "trolly humor" from his old master Kenobi 😜
does darth vader fight in this movie at all?
why the fuck are you here dude?? GO watch the movie!
The Darth Vader corridor scene was worth the price of admission by itself. That is *EXACTLY* what I wanted.
Also, the CG on Tarkin and Leia didn't bother me at all and I thought it looked MUCH better than I anticipated.
Starshine Frost Yeh finally watching Vader wreck shop was breathtaking! Couldve watched 2 hours of it haha and the cgi was great and veey much needed
Rogue One really exceeded my expectations. I wanted Lucasfilm to really take a chance with this film and give us the grittiest and most real depiction of war the franchise had ever gone, and they pulled it off. They took a huge risk and I loved how well they handled it. This felt like something truly unique and I grew to really like all the characters, especially Chirrut and K2SO. The special effects were breathtaking and I personally thought they handled CGI Tarkin and Leia extremely well. The final battle might very well be my favorite in the franchise, as it just escalated into full blown war as it progressed and truly felt epic in scale. I also felt they handled the transition into A New Hope very well.
Also, that final Vader scene was possibly the most satisfying and badass moment in the franchise. That scene was perfect.
Brad Wright e
emcats84 Thats fine if you feel that. I felt they did
me personally, I'm a giant pile of horse shit. 8/10
Cant take this seriously after the RLM podcast and personally i loved the action and personally the fantastic characters
After seeing Rogue One: I discovered how much I missed not having a Jedi/Sith/First Order Force Powerful characters. The one minute of Vader wrecking shop was my delight.
SeraphimAirsoft same here. But it goes with the era and the Jedi purge etc
The fact that there was no sabers before that made it so much more powerful!
pietro no, the reason it was so awesome, was bc we've NEVER seen Vader like this in any SW movie! it was great, but i prefer the Force Users based storylines better
TundraL5Z not to me at all. but I appreciate your opinion
I agree, I prefer storylines with Jedi better :/
Take that all the people who thought that Jin was Ray's mom
HA!!!
lol I never took that theory seriously
English Pizza the only reason I wanted it so is it'd be the only reason to cast another brunette brit girl of the same age.
The girl ate it.
*CZcamsr theory* They had sex on the beach.
hahahaha
English Pizza I kept telling people that she wouldn't be Rey's mom because this particular theory was consistently shot down by Pablo. Glad it wasn't true because I never cared for Jyn either.
English Pizza Jyn*
Nerd box sent me here.
How can I mail you guys pizza rolls?
After watching Red Letter Media's video this one is SUPER ENTERTAINING LOL
Am I the only one that thought the Leia CGI actually looked good?
Jake Mercier for me it looked okay
she looked AND sounded amazing imo
I think she actually looked fantastic up until she started to speak. She definitely looked better than Tarkin, but maybe that's just because Tarkin was in the movie a lot longer, and Peter Cushing's face was way harder to recreate than Carrie Fisher's.
Jake Mercier yeah it looked great! I am worried that years from now when our technology advances we look back at this and it won't hold up
so .. that wasn't Leia.. ?
;)
the vistas were really awesome. not to mention that i, personally, loved this movie
In the original trailer Jyn is running on scarif with the plans which never happens in the movie
btafbm a lot of the shots in the trailer was not inthe final film...reshoots n' stuff.
btafbm that was probably one of the things they changed with the reshoots
btafbm neither was the scene where she's at the top of the tower and the tie fighter shows up right there. Or the scene where saw says what will you become, and many many others. Shit there was a ton of scenes from the trailers that weren't in the movie. I liked that because it was almost all new once we got to the movie.
I think based on the original trailers Rogue One was going to be a undercover mission sent by the Rebels to steal the plans. The running on the beach with the hard drive in hand was from that version. Then they decided to change the story and have the mission be unauthorized and under the table. Events were reworked to make the Rouge One crew more rebel than the rebels and steal the plans without orders to do so.
Me personally, thinks this is like poetry. It rhymes
I would like to thank our another sponsor - NERD BOX
***RICH EVANS' LAUGH***
That Vader scene makes you realise how easy he was going on Luke in Empire.....
The fact that Vader fought Luke one-handed let me know he went easy on him..
I thought the "remember to not choke" quote was awesome! It was like Anakin was showing through. The little turn around and "wink" at the camera was cheesy but still fucking amazing! This is *Darth Vader* we're talking about. Remember in Empire when Vader is at the dining table and says "We would be honored if you would join us." its the same thing!
And about the Rebel meeting I liked they gave up. That was the point. The Death Star is here now. There is *no hope* and that leads into A New Hope.
couldn't agree more!
timhatten Totally agree I felt that that was perfect Vader, I also felt that Mon Mothma and Bail Organa didn't give up at all but took a step back when Jyn made her speech to see if she could rally everyone because you could see from their expressions that they liked and agreed with what Jyn was saying but they are an alliance and can't just order everyone to do something they don't want to.
But Jyn did rally quite a few who all decided to go off on their own which then gets everyone else to realize oh damn, that girl was right and we need to help these people.
Classic Vader
timhatten Yeah I loved the quote as well
Totally agree. I loved Vader's line.
Idk why but I'm kinda getting pissed off about people complaining about the Tarkin CGI. Like let's just keep making super 8 films and not try to advance any thing. Do people not realize what they accomplished technology wise here? It's amazing!!!!
Gabe Randall I just think it was unnecessary. Mon Mothma wasn't CGI and I wasn't sitting there thinking Who is that? or Why doesn't she look more like Mon Mothma?" I would've been fine with the Leia cameo but Tarkin was just in the movie too much. I was thinking about whether or not CGI was believable instead of paying attention to what he was saying. Glad it didn't take you out of those scenes though!
JAKOB CLOVERDYKE yeah I accept it. I guess I'll just be happy that it didn't mess with me like you said and enjoyed it.
Gabe Randall I disagree about tarkins CGI. It felt fake and rubbery. If you were to look at an older person and look at their skin and watch the muscles. This CGI had him talking but none of his upper lip or cheeks moving at points. The Eyes looked off too he'd look one way and his eyebrows wouldn't shift nor his eyelids close or open. Not really groundbreaking once you start to look at it. Marvel on the other hand has used this technology better than Tarkins CGI.
+KingofDemise666 marvel and disney uses the same vfx artists for their cgi
You are right, people should be complaining about the lame characters and the lack of story. Jyns backstory was being hidden in a well. She is a rebel because you are told to. Her motivation is forced and her speech at the rebel base was laughable. Best action scenes from a star wars film ever. Worst script and characters from all the franchise.
Me personally, I loved this film
Wow, I really love watching a group of people throw around the same inoffensive opinions for almost an hour, this is entertainment at its finest. Keep up the good work guys!
Literally lost my mind seeing this film. The characters, the story, the acting, the visuals, the world building, the villains and on and on is just perfect. Literally embodies Star Wars itself. Up there with Empire possibly even better.
Gaming 4 Life(Tylerman) after seeing it multiple times its number 3 all time star wars movies
Gaming 4 Life(Tylerman) better in my opinion! It has its issues, but all of the movies do ("hardcore" fans will never admit that)
Gaming 4 Life(Tylerman) Didn't like the acting for Saw and the defecting pilot.
I loved the vistas.
This is basically Star Wars battlefront in live action and it is awesome but I really was pissed about the opening crawl
Gilmartin Pares IKR?!?!? The crawl is ICONIC!!
Alorha Baga video games havet had it clone wars had a version of it everything star wars has done has a crawl even comics
Brick Something my point was that the crawl was never exclusive to the saga films which was their reasoning behind doing it
I had made a begrudging peace with no crawl going into it. But to not start with "Star Wars" and the fanfare felt like an even more egregious error.
And then to get the crappy title card and placement of the main title that we did...
Gilmartin Pares the fact that the opening crawl is the thing that made you and means this movie is good
I'm definitely in the minority when it comes to the characters. I actually liked the characters in rogue one better than force awakens. I was frustrated with the mystery behind the characters - what is the Knights of ren? where did Rey come from? who is snoke? why is phases so lame? But rogue one is just cut and dry. I understood each character's motivations and their purpose in the plot. similar to how I felt about han, luke, and Leia in a new hope. I also felt that some of the force awakens characters weren't fleshed out very well. Despite Poe's charisma, Phasma's suit, and The Red Head's authority... they each seemed kind of thrown in and incomplete.
D Hardy I understand that. It's what makes me still interested to see the next films. But it also makes me a little nervous about the next films. there's a lot they're going to have to explain to make a full narrative. This wasn't the case in A New Hope which also had two sequels (and 4 prequels). I never felt like I had no idea who the characters were or how they were connected. Obviously some characters had a bit of mystery like Obi Wan but not to the levels of Snoke who is a huge question mark or Rey who comes off as the most naturally gifted jedi of all time without explanation.
So this is the equivalent of watching lonely moms gossip and giggle about Twilight.
10/10 for the movie... 10/10 for the review. I can't say anymore other than I am thoroughly satisfied.
***** Yes, I agree, there are always details that could be different or better. My coment was made literally 10mins after seeing the movie, so I was still uber-hyped. I need time to brew over it, but I'm 99% sure this was one hell over a good movie. And yes, Vader was finally done justice, that was definitely the cherry on the cake xD
Kim Who? Stfu? Make me, you wannabe Nazi, lol
That's doesn't make sense Who... sounds like you're trying to prove a point and failing at it too. Try again, lol.
Kim Hu I don't give a flying fuck what you think, Kim Jong Hu... go bug someone else you annoying little bitch. And constantly 'trying' to offended people by calling them a faggot and gay, shows you've got hidden issues you're trying place on to other. You're completely transparent.
Kim Hu boring...
One of the most surprising moments for me was the return of Tarkin because I was amazed as to how they brought Peter Cushing back to life so beautifully. Seeing Cushing's character interacting with Ben Mendelson gave me goosebumps. To me that's one of the most daunting tasks ever. Sometimes we see body double with a CGI face of the actor plastered on the double, but here they pulled no stops. Seeing Cushing's Tarkin having a full on conversation with Krenic for almost an hour, direct eye contact, facial expressions, the way he walked looked as if he was still alive. To me that caught me that was the best moment ever in a Star Wars film. The scene with Peter Cushing felt organic to me in my opinion and they nailed it perfectly. Another highlight was Alan Tudyk's K2-SO because seeing K2-SO bringing that human personality to a robot was just great with all the quips, sarcasm, emotion etc. It's almost as if he had a synthetic human personality like Sonny from I-Robot which to me is one of the most underrated performances by him.
This was a body double, just FYI. Real actor, CGI face. Ditto with Leia.
Jason Miller I Know that they used another actor and replaced him with Peter Cushing. Some of the scenes with Tarkin looked convincing as if he was alive.
I think the CGI on Tarkin was done well (even though you could tell it was obviously CGI), but him not sounding like Peter Cushing kept throwing me off constantly so much it started to bother me.
I think they got Leia's voice and CGI right, but she only appeared for like a second.
I agree. And great to see you here other than Facebook, Raghu! :) lol
mike c. LOL.
I liked Rogue One but loved Force Awakens, though both had clear problems. To me, Rogue One was a film for fanboys (which isn't all bad). It was badass and dark and it answered age-old questions like, "Why was there a huge flaw in the Death Star?" and "Where does Vader live?" But it lacked humanity in its characters. By contrast, The Force Awakens was a film for general audiences (which isn't all good). It was fun and uplifting and it re-introduced Star Wars to a new generation. But it lacked originality in its story. Between the two, I much prefer TFA because it privileges characters and themes over action and world-building, and that's the stuff that really stays with you long after you've outgrown your Star Wars pajamas.
I feel the opposite of you. I loved Rogue One but only liked Force Awakens.
I can see that. It's a fresher film. I just enjoyed the old-fashioned fun and magic of TFA more, even if it was a soft reboot. But I'm definitely glad to have Rogue One because it expands the possibilities of the Star Wars franchise. Episodic films can remain traditional while the spinoffs can be more experimental.
You have it the wrong way around. The only characters I actually cared about were in R1. TFA was for fanboys .. "oh look there's Chewie!" ... it was a re-hash of Ep. IV and JJ Abrams has zero originality - I could care less about Finn, they're cartoonish. R1 was obviously all new, and although a little long in th emiddle, it was an awesome ending and probably my favorite SW movie now. Only seen it once though.
gokinsmen this!
When Star Killer Base blew up, i was just let down rather than feeling any kind of excitement, it was too easy, happened too fast, underwhelming, it was a really bad note that ended TFA and i honestly reallyreally dont like that part at all, honestly gives me a sour taste in my mouth about the whole movie because of that one part, Rogue One i loved, TFA i liked because of that reason and it was too shiny(to quote what was said in this video)
I honestly didn't notice that tarkin was cgi
the immortal iron fist i couldn't figure out if he was or not either lol they did an awesome job on him
Adam Nelson You can notice it in the lips movement. They are so smooth unlike human lips movement.
You should probably make an appointment with your optometrist
I as well. Maybe i'm blind. But i figure i was probably so star-struck that I wasn't watching closely. And when Leia Shows up at the end, I knew that was CG obviously, but I still say they did a fantastic job (I think i was still in shock from the Vader scene). Like the Council said, They (CGI specialists) are getting so good, that pretty soon, you won't be able to tell at all. Kudos to all the techs who worked on this film.
The cgi charaters did take me out, but I was able to get over it, as I knew they needed to be there. I was super excited though, when Red Leader, Gold Leader and Blue Leader showed up - my whole group were doing fist bumps
I cant wait to see this movie. I just hope that it will fill the empty void in my soul..............
RedLetterMedia brought me here.
Personally, I loved this movie. Personally.
Also there seems to be a lot of criticism with the characters. They are a little bland at times but I also just think about the tone of the film. It is very dark and gritty and I feel the characters are like that because of dark the times are. It's like a reflection of how the Empire has affected the galaxy
Yeah I can see where your coming from but for me I think it was 100x better than TFA. I just adored it from beginning to end and it is even on the level of Empire for me.
I felt the same, but it's just the dialogue that could've been better. These were good actors, but the dialogue was a bit bland.
nah the characters were bland lol
Out of curiosity, what would you have cut in order to get those background stories for each character in? Or would you have preferred to have an almost 3 hour movie?
I saw it for a second time recently. lol ..And I liked it much more!!
Vader is just a freaking bad ass 💯👊🏼
He kicks crazy ass. They've got to do a Vader movie. Not sure how they make it but I would love it. Amazing death relay race at the end with the plans.
i saw those cut-scenes. boring as fuck. god i hate the EU.
OHHHH MY GAAAAAAHD
Me, personally I loved this film. It's sorta like poetry, it rhymes. It's a war movie, stylistically it designed to be that way and you can't undo that, but you can diminish the effects of it. Did I say that I personally loved this movie? I can't wait for my Nerd box to show up in the mail.
Also something you guys didn't mention which I thought you would... Krennic really felt like how an Imperial officer should be, not the way Hux was in Force Awakens... he still seemed like he was some young kid. (Even thou he prolly is in his 30's). Hux just to me didn't have that overall presence of a high commanding Imperial officer. Krennic on the other hand felt exactly how one should be.
Exactly ... Hux was a cartoon Hitler. Total overacting from Gleason. That's what happens with actors who get jobs because their parents are famous.
Well general hocks was kind of a kid in the force awakens . According to the novelization he is about 19 or 20. He was a persuasive speaker, but when it came down to actually implementing his plan he kind of fell short which was why that awkward dynamic exists between Kylo and general hocks.
Me too.
Absolutely spot on.
Absolutely right! Krennic and Tarkin have so much presence, charisma, and authority! They can make anyone in the Galaxy fear for their life just by walking into the room. Kylo Ren was a success in that matter! Hux was very poor as a villain and a leader - he was well written, but the on-screen result was just terrible. The only thing he could convince me of was his desire to be Snoke's favourite instead of Ren. God bless Rogue One!
According to IMDb, Vader aid is named Vaneé
I loved how everyone just immediately assumed he was Sith Alfred. He was Vaders man at arms. Maybe a Temple Guard, or Inquisitor.
Hope it was an inquisitor, whats the point of having them in Rebels when their not going to be in the actual movies
It seems like hes just Vader's aid.
just me thinking but i don't think i found him all that .... scary? maybe? I think he is just the guy that runs Vader's lava castle, that's all. And no, i don't think he's Snoke. Gawd, give it up on the damn theories already (not aimed at you TheLoreSeeker).
Watched it for the second time today... tried to go in neutral and look specifically at the things id heard a bit of criticism towards in the hours between its midnight release on Thursday (UK fan) and 3pm Friday... and yeah the score wasn't great, at times, but in others I felt it was fine... was it classic Star Wars? No way, but it didnt take me out of the film or anything.
I really dont get the whole characters being fleshed out thing though, but that might just be me... I thought to establish a crew of rebels, have us care about and then care about their deaths all in 2 hours 15 minutes, whilst also telling a story heavily focused on the Death Star, the Empire and what is a real kind of solid, combined formation of the Rebellion, it was very well done.
The comparisons to the character work on The Force Awakens seem a little unfair too... they knew that they had to really establish them in TFA, as its the beginning of a new trilogy, and they NEEDED fans to really invest in them to help carry the next two movies (if they make it through Episodes 8 and 9)... whereas in this, whilst it seems harsh to label them 'expendable', they were in a way, at the expense of the story.
Hendo9 could not agree more 👍
Hendo9 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Hendo9 yeah. I really also don't want this movie to become the reason people crap on TFA either. if that makes sense. rogue one was obviously going to be a "tighter" film because they had a very limited space in the time line. whereas tfa had to basically establish a "new" canon. not to take anything away from.Gareth Edwards, but I believe JJ had the more difficult task by far
Son of T'Chaka Oh definitely, I'm with you there. I love TFA, always will do... it's still the most important Star Wars film to be released due to it being the first one back after so long, and the whole idea of setting up a new trilogy aswell as this series of standalone movies.
Dont see why the 'in' thing to do, is crap all over TFA to highlight Rogue One's positives, when both are just very good films, and very, very different movies too
Any Red Dwarf fans around? The score at a couple of points absolutely reminded me of Ace Rimmer's theme
I'm here because of RLM. Now I'm leaving.
I'm not sure what people are talking about regarding "RLM" & "The Nerd Crew: A Pop Culture Podcast" in the comments or how it relates to Collider. I don't know what that other group is & their conversations aren't making sense to me, something about Diabetes
(nods head repeatedly) no doubt, no doubt
I liked the movie as well
Stef P did you like the vistas?
Stef P rofl
I am with the Force and the Force is with me
"I am ONE with the Force, and the Force is with me."
When his buddy finally repeated it for him, i got a tear. They might have teased each other, but they were friends. I loved that little bit of chemistry.
their chemistry was fantastic and they were really funny.
Been waiting 3 days for this, Aus got the midnight release early and it's been killing me. Going for a second viewing soon.
Good day of Collider content ♡
I really liked the "don't choke" line.
IT BROKE NEW GROUND!
Anybody got an appetite for pizza rolls? Jeez..wonder why I'm craving them all of a sudden.

THE DARTH VADER SCENE REALIZED MY CHILDHOOD DREAMS
I love this movie, it's just amazing. And I Just got back from seeing rouge one for the second time. this time my mom went with me and she had no idea that Tarkin & Leia were CG.
And she was very surprised at how realistic the war scenes were.
I want a Cassian Andor spinoff.
Gabriel Cerrato same.
Gabriel Cerrato with a different actor who isn't terribly stiff
And without that horrible accent.
Gastón Medici what the fuck, that's how he speaks he's Mexican his accent is fucking beautiful stop being fucking racist.
rey skywaka but he was stilted and unemotional and didn't bring anything other than a robotic reading of lines.
Wow, these guys ARE as bad as Redlettermedia parodied. This is pathetic.
AT-STs! AT-STs!
that hammerhead ship..
Yep.
when they collided I think I shouted "oh man the balls on that one!!!!!"
It was fucking awesome and super realistic being the star destroyer was totally disabled by the bombers with no shields, engines or weapons at that time and there is no resistance in space so that could absolutely happen. They even rammed the destroyer slowly so not to damage their ship and then full throttled it after there in contact and started crushing into the ship as they pushed it like that ship crew knew what they were doing and have done it before, so fucking awesome:)!!!
As a Space Engineers player, I enjoyed that move.
they should have used bigger ons's in the battle of endor.
When you see Darth Vader don't bother running you're already dead
The Prequel That Should Have Been!!!!
Are you kidding me!? Im BLIND!!!
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."
Let's get down to brass tax, people: Me personally, I loved this review.
1. empire
2. New hope
3. rogue one
4. force awakens
5. jedi
6. sith
7. menace
8. clones
for me
Same list as mine.
lost_zoro Jedi, empire, new hope/tfa (I have them as the same basically), rogue (under by just a hair), sith, clone wars, phantom
lost_zoro switch number 4 with 5 and your list will be correct
Son of T'Chaka clone wars movie or show? Cause the clone wars movie is awful
Lance Shadow attack of the clones
Ive been waiting for that Vader scene since I was 4!!!
Geek Crate brought me here.
Am I the only one that thought Force Awakens is better than Rogue One?
Chase Bangerter I'm still kind of processing my feelings, but I didn't feel the "Star Wars Magic" feeling when coming out of rogue one the same way I felt with the force awakens. I liked rogue one a lot, but I don't feel that magic in it... idk why or how to explain.
Nope, I agree with you
Harrison Snellgrove rogue one is a war movie within the star wars universe. no jedi action
MingJian Yap I never claimed there was Jedi or posited that there needed to be Jedi to make Star Wars special, I just personally didn't feel like I was watching a Star Wars movie.
Yes. Because you have no common sense.
Now I get who people mean when the talk about mindless fanboys.
I am upset that I didn't enjoy the movie as much as you guys or other critics praising this movie. The movie was good but it wasn't awesome. Well for me anyway.
Feel the same way, without the last 10 minutes I would have went out really disappointed.
Arraik Cruor what Warrior issues that you had with it? If it's plot I want to know what your problems were and I can answer your questions.
Alex Williamson'sadventures
I didn't connect well with the characters, first hour was too fast paced and uninteresting, Saw was strangely used and seemed reduntant, things like that. So not really to do with the plot.
Well if you would like a little bit more backstory I can fill you in real quick. Crinic is a conniving gangster who wants nothing more than to have full control over the Death Star. Galen was manipulated by him to start on the super weapon and Galen dried to run away once he found out what was going on. Crinic thought that by getting into the families good graces he could manipulate them however he wanted, however Galen and his wife and Jen resisted. And that's why he is so willing to kill them.
Alex Williamson'sadventures
I knew most of that stuff because I was listening to some podcast (I can't remember which) where they were talking about the Catalyst and they talked about Crinic's past relationship with Galen Ursa's family and stuff. I wish we knew more about the other characters though.
IT BROKE NEW GROUND!!!!!! WHAT ARE NEXT?!
I also didn't care much for the music during the moving, but after buying the soundtrack and listening to it a few times it's growing on me. I've been humming Jyn's theme and the Hope suite all day.
There was some original music mixed in.
I really liked the music. I seem to be in the minority, but having heard people didn't like it, I went in paying close attention. And I found the score really fitting and I could hear lots of Star Wars themes woven in. It did seem slightly rushed, but it felt like a combination of prequel & original scores to me.
Music sucked.
Yes there was nothing memorable about it. There was some music from the original movies but yes nothing that sticks with you.
I was very disappointed by the score. It sounded like a HISHE copy-cat cover and watered-down version of the original score of Star Wars.
worst thing was the tentacle hentai part. Literally doesn't do anything for the movie.
I'm growing tired of everyone heaping ALL of the K2-SO praise only on Alan Tudyk, I feel that the writers aren't getting any credit regarding that character. I like Alan Tudyk fine but come on, he just delivers the lines....
Lunch Box as an aspiring screenwriter myself I don't like seeing that writers never get the credit they deserve. Yes directing and acting is where it's at but without a script there's no movie
Yes, exactly!!! If another person fawns over Alan Tudyk for this performance without crediting the writers or animators...
Fucking ot fanboys. Never admit these Disney movies majorly lack originality and the magic George Lucas caught on his six films
I loved the character K2-SO i think that it was a great character, Alan Tudyk did a great job, but the character itself was awesome.
Cassius83 CK there was no magic in the prequels
Me personally, I love this show.
Just about to go to sleep, but this came out. Well, an hour less sleep is just what I needed!
Oliver Jones exactly me loool
Completely disagree with Kristian about the score. It was perfectly fine and fit pretty well. I agree with the no crawl thing. If any Star Wars movie needed a crawl this was it.
I don't agree with you about the crawl. I was like where the F*** is the crawl at first too when the movie started. But then we got that opening scene from 15 years before which kinda had the flashback/ opening crawl function for the main story. And the main story was actually the filmed out version of the opening crawl of "A New Hope". So if anything an opening crawl for this movie would have been redundant.
I even felt like they could have used the episode 4 crawl and zoomed in the paragraph that this movie was about or something like that. But it didn't bother me as much the 2nd viewing
What score. There was pretty much nothing deserving that title.
AT-STs! AT-STs!
The choking on your ambitions line was great. I don't care what anyone says. Vader has always had that wit in his dialogue that line was classic Vader.
I personally, loved this movie. 3/10
Don't choke on your ambition totally didn't bother me at all. God the internet is weird. Everything is good in the theater and then you go online and find out oh yeah that was lame and that was lame. like what?
I simply can't understand people that hated the movie and even claim to have walked out half way through (a lot of those on Reddit). Baffled.
Don Substance Wow. Those people have no soul.
bamm86 Or they need exposition for absolutely everything. I just tried to point out to someone that Luna's character struggled with killing Galen as he'd followed orders all his rebel life but now has been given a different perspective on Galen after meeting Jyn... but no... 'it needed more explanation blah blah blah...'
bamm86 I thought that with the cg Tarkin. Seems to get a lot of hate yet I saw it in IMAX 3D and was fully immersed even though I knew logically that he was fake as I was pretty sure they hadn't found a Peter Cushing look a like
Don Substance John Big Boss Yeah people need too much explanation and then get mad when movies don't tell enough of the story because they spent too much time explaining everything else. I feel like movie audiences are getting dumber. Like people don't enjoy critical thinking in the theater anymore or something.
I thought "Be careful not to choke on your ambitions, Director" was badass as all hell.
Me personally didn't watch this video, only clicked on the comment section. But me personally enjoyed this discussion
Vader's horror movie scene is what we've been waiting 30 years for.
