The asymmetrical and guerrilla warfare of the Rebels against the uniformed Stormtroopers is amazing and shows the contrast. This movie had great 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 😅
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.
@@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.
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.
@@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…
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
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.
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
@@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
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.
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.
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.

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 😊👍
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"...
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.
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.
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
1:53 That is pretty scary how the AT-ST seemingly peaked around the corner as it walked on, just imagine thinking you won the battle, turn around and see death staring right at you
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.
Greig Fraser is literally one of the greatest cinematographers of the movie industry rn, The Batman, Dune and this movie are some of his greatest works.
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.”
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.
I would love to see a movie during the height of the civil war but just this. No jedi, no sith, no night sisters/night brothers, and no force users. Just soldiers fighting a war
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.
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
Rogue one and Andor are my favorite Star Wars content. They both show the grittiness and dangers of war. Unlike in the sequels where there’s a joke every 5 minutes. Ik some people prefer the comedy. But imo, Star Wars is perfect with a gritty and serious tone since it’s literally about an imperial power fighting against its resistance.

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
@@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

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.
@1:40 serously ...is that a Wampa?? far right
His name is Moroff I have a LEGO minifig of him, they aren’t wampas that’s for sure.
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🤦
Now this is a good female lead. Disney why did u fall from grace?
