Alexander Evensen it is a story about how they got the plans of the Death Star. Leia was the one who ensured the plans to be transmitted to the rebellion, but the rogue on squadron gave the plans to the rebellion and provided hope for them. It also comes down to normal people giving hope and not relying on people with magic powers to save the day
One of the things I adored about the story was that the lines between good and evil were blurred. Instead of the rebellion just being good, they bring a focus to how they have done bad things, and how war is not a bedtime story, but actually really horrific.
"They destroyed our home!" - Didn't happen Rebel Pilot dudes captured walking through the streets - Didn't Happen "The captain says you are a friend, I will not kill you" - Didn't happen "There is a 97.6% chance of failure" "He means well" - Didn't happen
Probably in "original" version of the movie Rogue One (or just Jyn and Cassian) survived at the end. also I think it would be awesome if Orson Krennic helped Jyn by sending plans and thus sacrificing his own life (because he was badly treated by the empire and he was friend with Galen Erso). :)
+Nieznajomy43 Actually the better ending was probably the one they hinted at. Everyone gets captured, tortured, and then broken. They become the Knights of Ren at Vader's command and then when Vader dies they need a new master thus Kylo Ren in the future.
LupineShadowOmega "But Hey, That's Just a Theory, A Film Theory." ;) but still I would like to see scene in which Orson Krennic shows middle finger to empire of course not literally. :)
Nieznajomy43 Film Theory or not, Saw's voice over about what you'll become while showing Jyn in the empire garb is them hinting at a potential role reversal. lol
Without Darth Vader, this would have been the first Star Wars movie without a lightsaber fight. It is the first one where there is only one lightsaber.
Which I am completely okay with. I think of it like going to a concert, where there's that one song you really hope the artist plays. And they don't. But the show is so fricken amazing that it's not until two days later that you stop and go, "Wait, they never played that one song... Screw it, that show rocked!"
Jim Kirk yeah i don't get it, it should have been: flagship beams plans to leaia who is at a DISTANCE, because Darth Vader is definitely not stupid enough to believe the ship that just left the one he boarded a moment ago was on a diplomatic mission to alderann. besides, what was leaia doing on that ship anyway?! (spoilers alert)
It's called plausible deniability. She's a diplomat, so of course she bullshits Darth Vader to his face. She was banking on the fact that A) The Senate still existed B) She was being recorded by a dozen guys in full armor who probably had space-gopros built into the helmets or something and C) That the empire wasn't willing to admit that they had been engaged on equal terms by rebels and lost a great deal of men and ships in the process. Were that all the case Leia could have leveraged the political uproar of a military attacking it's own diplomatic vessels (for no apparent reason as the empire doesn't want to look weak) to escape punishment...At least, that's the best explanation I could think of. Maybe the movie just wanted to have a way to keep the tension going after all the developed characters died.
Mr. Scratch it was a little too uncanny valley for me. It was good, don't get me wrong, but the movements were just enough off and the expressions were just wonky enough that it threw me hard.
TOTALLY! I actually never watch trailers for movies I intend to see, because they always reveal so damn much, that there's no real reason watching it anymore.
I had no clue that there was going to be a CG Tarkin, and when he showed up, I spent the next five minutes going "Wait, was that computer generated, because he looked real, but like he was moving too perfectly, and... but... was that... whaaaaaaaaaat."
I totally thought they had found a look-alike actor and somewhat made him look even more like the original actor with make-up and stuff. Although CGI might have crossed my mind too. Anyway, it really isn't a bother imo
Grand MacMac--They did that for Revenge of the Sith (But Tron, X-Men, etc had set the stage afterward to do the CGI route). ...the BETTER Star Wars prequel, Diya. ;)
The part that i like the most ,is they all dead at the end, that really says they all sacrifice themselves for a higher goal. And really says how important and dangerous the mission was. And the part Jyn went to beach with Cassian to embrace the death. This is what makes this movie unique. The only thing i don't like , is i can't see more of Felicity Jones in another Star Wars. To be honest, she would make a better Rey.
no, It was actually because this movie was to cover a plot hole, and they didnt want it to have a reflection in the rest of the story, so they had to kill all the characters to never be mentioned again
So... how should it have ended? I thought the ending was perfect. That final sequence with Vader walking through the hall was the whole reason he was in the movie. It just leads directly into episode 4 perfectly.

goatmonkey2112 it does but him coming in there was so random he litterially didn't need to be in the movie but he was awesome if they showed more it would've been better, my favorite scenes were when the Asian guy fought and darth Vader fighting
It could only work if the CG was better than with Tarkin. Tarkin just didn't look right. It was distracting. I can't imagine watching a whole movie where the main character looks like that. I'd have to walk out half way through
Meghan Lyle, agreed. It did make me wonder why he was so agile and using the force as a weapon... But then in the rest of the series, he fights much slower and less ferociously. I guess his emotions towards Obi-Wan and Luke held him back?
The originals were based on a different fighting style more akin to Samurai (Kendo practice), where one strike, one kill counter-attack is the ultimate form.
Forrest Whittacker's character wasn't needed, Vader was since he was ordered ultimately the one who would be ordered to recover the stolen plans, at a minimum he would have needed to appear towards the end.
Agreed. Also, whilst the end sequence was cool, it makes his appearance at the start of ANH less impressive. Why would he wail on a load of rebel troops one minute and just sit back until the job's done the next?
The line about "All is as the Force wills it" has bugged me since I first heard it. I mean, if that's true, then the Force WANTED the Empire to happen, and even worse, the Force WANTED Jar-Jar happened.
As I understand it, ep 1-6 is how the force corrected an imbalance (getting rid of dark side users). The will of the force doesn't seem to be straightforward and logical, but that might mean there's an element of free will in regards to the force. Imagine the force is a river. It diverts around stones and animals with in it, but it ultimately still reaches the sea.
It's just a spin on "Everything happens for a reason" mixed in like a prayer. However...many people fall back on this...saying this good or bad thing happened for a reason we may or may not be able to see at the moment. There can't be any good without the bad...You can't overcome evil, unless there is evil.
The Empire happened because the Jedi Senate began to lose trust within the force. When they learned to trust the force, that's when they were finally able to push against the empire.
Lego Superhero Studios You misunderstood the force. The force strives for BALANCE. Balance between dark and light. The dark provides the opposite so people can know the difference and choose good.
Completely inspiring Hishe. That was one of the best reviews I've watched on Rogue One and I love the way you interpreted that movie. I agree with on all of it 100%. Keep rocking.
I read that the original version had them all make it out alive, but the mouse said nay. "Kill them all. I want tears from the audience." - Mickey Mouse
It makes since that they all die. Otherwise you'd have to explain why the Rogue One crew were not a central focus in the mission to destroy the Death Star.
When you guys do Rogue One, you need to include the scene where Tarkin assumes command of the Death Star; his whole justification for it was basically "I called dibs....before you even started building this."
Okay, I know this is gonna be a bit controversial, because I saw this movie after just watching (for the first time ever) A New Hope, and I thought this movie was absolutely amazing even though I didn't get nostalgic, or get the throwbacks. It's just an amazing movie overall; the score, the pacing, the cinematography, the acting, everything.
+Silver12331 First off, I personally had no issue with young Jyn. Second, good young child actors are hard to come by. Third, what didn't you like about young Jyn?
Honestly, I had ten times the hype for The Force Awakens than I did for this, but I had a much better experience watching Rogue One than that. I'm honestly considering making this my favourite Star Wars film, and I can't tell why. Just something about it had me on the edge of my seat for two and a half hours.
Also CG Han Solo would be pretty lit, but I think it would be a bit of a distraction. I spent most of the Tarkin scenes staring at his face trying to figure out whether or not it was CGI or really good makeup.
LeinadTM I fully agree. Force awakens had just so much fucking money in marketing and everyone was hyped about it There reasonings to "keep it safe" not only will impact the rest of the trilogy, but also the characters as well too since they are all so similar to the people before them Rogue one was something new, and that something new enhanced not only the original trilogy, but even the prequels at the same time, while giving a fantastic plot line, great characters, and action scenes that makes everything else just look foolish in comparrison Really is the best star wars movie ever
Yeah, for me personally it was the emotional roller coaster. I feel like Star Wars never really captured the true feelings as a main focus in previous films (Despite Lucas saying it was supposed to be about family or whatever the fuck he thought, but we all know after the originals he just turned into an idiot (if he wasn't before, anyway...)) This gets you really attached to the characters in such a short time, and I personally didn't see the deaths of all the main characters coming (I know a lot of people did but for some reason I didn't latch onto that) And to see them brought down, 1 by 1, really gets to us because we see that they put their mission and the safety/future of the galaxy in front of their own lives. It isn't planned by Jen, Cassien or any of the other rebels to have them all die, but to see that further into the battle when they are split up they know what they must do for the benefit of the galaxy! Along with all this we have cameos and some insight into Grand Moff Tarkin (even if he looked like a video game character) and who can ignore the Darth Vader scenes, we see him vulnerable and kept at the site of his former master's 'betrayal' (from his point of view) as a form of torture (I think) done by the emperor. And that scene at the end was just epic, it showed how evil the little boy from Tatooine has become and also showing how desperate those rebel troopers were to get the plans to Leia. Among other things like the references to the prequels (as much as they sucked, I love how they incorporated them to make the prequels feel believable and almost important to the star wars franchise), for example Leia's adoptive father being played by the same actor, leads to this movie being as close to perfection as possible (still flaws of course like the stupid octopus mind thing, that was pointless) in my view, I loved it for sure!!!
"I am one with the Force and the Force is with me" really is one of the best lines from this film. I think my favourite character had to be K2 or Cherrut- I love the idea of a blind Jedi using the Force and kicking ass. As soon as he marched over to the main switch I knew he was going to die........... But I expected Jyn and Cassian to survive at least, maybe Obi Wan and the Eagles came and rescued them!
But note that both Tarkin and Leia where limited to a calm expression all the time... almost expressionless, I'd say. I guess it wouldn't work as well if you wanted them to be expressive.
Its great isn't it? It really adds tension to the movie when the bad guys can't hit anything and can be bested by a girl with a stick or a blind guy with a stick.
If you didn't watch the trailers, you'll think this is the best movie of 2016. If you're a Star Wars fan, you'll love it. It blew my expectations out of the water
When I came out of the theater from TFA I was super excited; but when I came out from Rogue One I kind of underwhelmed. But upon rethinking, Rogue One is a much better movie. It's darker, it has nostalgia but doesn't shove it down your throat, it makes ANH a better movie, and it ties the prequels to original trilogy...and of course that Vader scene. Yet there are plenty of emotional parts: when Jyn sees the message from her father, when she has to leave his body behind, K-2SO's death, etc. I liked having characters that mattered in the universe that weren't Jedi or the Skywalker family. The only thing I really missed was the John Williams score, it just doesn't feel like SW without it. I would currently rank SW: 1. Empire Strikes Back 2. Rogue One 3. New Hope 4. Revenge of the Sith 5. Force Awakens 6. Return of the Jedi 7. Attack of the Clones 8. Phantom Menace
Mallika Banerjee Well it's obviously better than TFA. All it had to be was slightly better than a steaming pile of shit to do that. I think the entire original trilogy is better than this movie though, and ROTS as well
They had that tie fighter get shot by an x wing from the side, they had already did that with the at-st's scene so they felt it would be repetitive to have the x wing come in and save the day again in the same fashion so they scrapped it
I never watch trailers due to liking to be surprised, I have all media blackout with Star Wars movies so I didn't even know it was about the Death Star until I got to the cinema so I didn't get this disappointment and only had an awesome experience.
I call for the CG Han Solo, HISHE! I mean, seriously, they are so good with CG nowadays, it would be WAY better than some guy that doesn't look anywhere near to Harrison Ford.
It's a good idea, but is not too expensive? Or maybe it will be weird that the movie doesn't actually has an actor for the other actors to act or to give interviews and promote the movie
I agree with the Vader bit. Yes his scene was awesome, BUT I think the last scene with him, would have had so much more of an impact on the audience, if they had kept him out of the movie till that last part. CAN you IMAGINE the feeling of seeing that black figure and the red glow when he steps out. YAAAS OwO Good review
Nstone53 Ehh but then people would've bitched they just randomly put him in for fan service. At least now he had impact on the story and wasn't just a hood ornament for the last two minutes. It also gave brought Vaders castle into canon, a thrown away idea by Lucas back during the OT. Love that kind of world building
I honestly thought this was the best Star Wars movie yet. It was shot ten times better than any of the others. Although, the original trilogy was shot 30, 40 years ago, so that's not very fair...lol. Anyway, the characters weren't as solid as they could be (from a development standpoint), but it worked. They didn't seem to force the cameos. They all fit in to me, including Darth Vader. I also liked that everyone died. No one does that these days. Someone always flies in and saves the protagonist(s). This time? NOPE. I was pleasantly surprised. Didn't have to wonder where the characters are made anew for prequels were in the originals. From a filmmaker's perspective, I loved this movie. The lower f stop, the tighter camera angles, the slower build up and plot development, and no hokey lines. I much preferred K's sarcasm to Fin's "Yeah! I am DEFINITELY with the resistance." This movie was well written compared to The Force Awakens especially. Overall, I liked this movie. Best Star Wars yet. The darker tone was needed and so was the slow plot. It was different, but in a good way. The $200M Rogue One has raked in so far gives me hope that this film will get the credit I believe it deserves. Even if I didn't like the movie, the up-to-the-minute connections to A New Hope reveals the missing piece in the puzzle, filling the gap that leads up to the film that started it all. I thoroughly enjoyed Star Wars: Rogue One.
Great review. Two points about Vader's scenes Vader had to be in the movie because A New Hope establishes that (1) his is somehow affiliated with the Death Star program, even though the Death Star is under Tarkin's command and (2) Vader was the one pursuing the stolen plans in Episode 4, and his sorcerer's ways were not yielding results. So there being no Vader in this movie, and then suddenly he turns up tracking down and capturing the Tantive IV would have been odd. It might almost suggest that Tarkin was being watched...he's in charge of the project, but the Emperor swiftly sends in his right hand man now that the plans are gone. So that means that having Vader there at the end and Tarkin asserting that Vader was in charge of dealing the rebel fleet makes it seem like *Tarkin* asked him to handle that part of it, so Tarkin and Vader are copacetic. It then makes perfect sense that Vader pursues the Tantive IV, because they knew the plans were uploaded (in part because the capital ship Vader would have been directing crashed into anf nullified the planetary shield) and they knew that some ships escaped the system, with those plans (and it was Vader's job to deal with them). Not one to pass the buck, of course Vader--and not Tarkin--hunted down the escaped ships, including the Tantive IV). That's the space battle scene, what about the castle on Mustafar? I feel there were two purposes. First, it was character development for Krennic, who was not only intemperate and vainglorious, but enough so to try to end run his boss--and risking his life by appealing to Vader (who was so terrifying that the Imperial Pilot Bodhi was frightened just hearing Saw Gerrera breath through a mask)--just to get credit from the Emperor directly. And getting choked for it. That is a big risk to take and does say something about his obsession with gaining status. Second, and more importantly, that scene in the castle established that Vader was also involved in the project and knew the details. Without it, Vader shows up at the end like an evil and convenient deus ex machina descending from the ceiling unexpectedly. With this scene, it makes perfect sense that Tarkin would have called on Vader since Vader is no fan of Krennic, is involved in the process and is a capable warrior with military experience. (Now, what maybe makes less sense is how Tarkin new to tell Vader "and when you get there, deal with the Rebel fleet." Even the rebels didn't know they were sending a fleet until they did, and Tarkin wouldn't have known that the rebels would be attacking the archive *right* at that moment...so I felt like there was some convenient foresight on his part. But I have only seen it once, so maybe there was some reason for his foreknowledge I missed.)
Beautiful conclusion! I walked away from the theatre head full of those themes as well--trust and belonging--but haven't had a 2nd watching to cement the ideas. You put it into words really well.
Well, i rather have real life actors play young people but in this case, doing Tarkin is nearly impossible, since Peter Cushing has that unique face. I think Leia was just for the fan service since it's less then a minute that we see her.
Unless they get Ford to play it and go directly off his expressions this is a recipe for failure. It's about the performance at least as much as the technology. Also, the insane amount of work involved in realistically crafting every nuance of a main character is something else entirely to the few scenes of Tarkin, who didn't seem to work for half the audience anyway. Certainly didn't work for me, especially the moments when he occupied the same frame as a real human.
Oznerol I was fine with CG Leiah, because she made a small appearance. I think if there is talent, let them have a career and be Han Solo. There are less expensive ways of making him Han Solo.
iluvmym4 what? Dude CG leia was way better and realistic looking than tarkin! Also, having not seen the old star wars movies to go off of reference, i thought leia was an actual real person. As supposed to Tarkin, who i could tell was obviously CG.
Loved Rogue One. It added a gravitas to this franchise that went missing after the prequels. The Force Awakens was good and set a great tone but I never bothered to see it again. This one I will.
Backfromthedeadguy me too. Force awakens I can go without seeing multiple times and is cool, just not much too it. This one is very intricate and was a lot more exciting
True there was a different ending..not sure that's the reason for the trailer being different. To me most of the cuts are for the last act...and they perhaps just cut it down...meaing..removed the fact they needed to steal the plans, then run to the radar dish..instead it was all in the same building.
I already have a good idea for HISHE Rogue One. When Chirrut is wacking the stormtroopers to death in Jedha, instead of having a staff he pulls out a Darth Mail-like lightsaber and slices them to bits... because he lives in a place full of kyber crystals, has complete Jedi beliefs, and therefore could EASILY build a lightsaber himself
And someone points out to Tarkin that blowing up their own archives and men would probably only cause more defections, and the emperor may not be too happy about losing all his data. Yes they lost some massive plans but, they had a good chance of getting them back and almost did. Also they could still use and probably need all the un-stolen ones. It's like burning down your house because you have an ant problem. Then again that man was so trigger happy he blew up a planet for no reason other to rub it in Leia's face and then eventually costs him his own life (thank you Luke and Han).
Let's not forget the sequence where half the Empire's archivists/librarians defect, seeing as the Death Star LITERALLY blew up nearly all their backup records on Scarif. Edit: Whoops, looks like someone more or less said this already. Apologies, friend!
@mandokomixkid You sure? I know in the Legends universe you have to use the Force, but outside of the deleted Mark Hamill scene for ROTJ I don't think lightsaber building was ever established in the movies. So they could get away with it for the general crowd that only looks upon the Canon universe this film is set in.
snuke37 I guess so, in my opinion the original trilogy movies are the most cliche, I most likely preferred rogue one to all the others because it is so much darker, which I feel just allows the creators so much more freedom in plot line as it doesn't have to be family friendly
snuke37 I guess so, I just don't really understand why people love the original trilogy so much, as bad as the acting and visuals were in the prequels I thought the plot line and all the huge battles, lightsaber duels and aliens were awesome. The original trilogy may have been groundbreaking in its day but just isn't very interesting in my opinion nowadays
this movie was such an emotional roller coaster. i went from being on the verge of tears when i realized everyone died at the end. to freaking out like a school girl when i saw vader just slicing fools down
I really like these reviews. They make me laugh as much as the shorts! I loved his Star Wars song interpretation at the beginning! And when he's talking about Cassian, Jyn, and Bohdy (I think this is how their names are spelled)!😂 Keep up the good work!👍🏻 P.S. I think the CG young Han Solo movie sounds pretty cool! (From my personal opinion!)😊
BrotherhoodWorkshop I personally think a Han Solo movie is a bad idea in general. But I didn't think Rouge One was going to be good and I really liked it!
Yeeeeeeeesssss! I thought of the same thing after seeing Rogue One! I realize they were pretty sparing with their CG characters, and it was all pretty stable, low-action shots, but this definitely felt like it COULD be proof-of-concept for another movie (hopefully Han Solo standalone) with more extensive use of the technique. Fingers crossed!
I am glad I didn't see any trailer for this film ('cause I know I'm still gonna see it). So I watched it without any expectation, and man, to me, this is the best Starwars film yet. BUT, it only was the best to me BECAUSE of the originals. Without them, I would not appreciate Rogue One as much.
I didn't know until me and my roommate started arguing about what the heck was up with Leia and I google stormed and found out about the CGI for her and Tarkin
i can't even hear your voice without imagining superman sitting behind the computer and talking to a mic. great review and i absolutely love your channel especially superhero café :)
Fortner Films 2016 I thought something weird was up with that , I continuously struggling to wrap my head around how or why his face looked CG , I had imagined I might have been hallucinating , only after watching this vid did I realise I wasn't and that Leia was also CG
I thought Rogue One from the trailers didn't look promising to me but when i saw it i thought to myself that this is one of the best movies of the year! I think it links well to episode 4. Btw shouldn't Rogue One be called Star Wars Episode 3.5
CG Han alone would take them too long and be too expensive. They already said Tarkin was one of the most costly CG enterprises in movie history, and he was in like 20% of the movie.
Scarecrow545 Wow what a complete waste of effort and money then. ***** Really? I keep hearing all over the place how CGI Tarkin and CGI Leia took them out of the movie instantly. And I gree the stood out like a sore thumb.
Dan Slash I mean it's to be expected. I commend the effort, personally. I didn't think it was perfect, but it didn't take me out of the movie like others are saying. I was forced to watch it in 3D, maybe that helped. We're almost there. A few more years, maybe a decade, and I think we will be.
I know I am late to this coz I only started following hishe now. But your review was kind of spot on. Especially the part about trust and the subtext. It's not a perfect movie and has its flaws but this is the first Star wars movie that hit me emotionally because that has never happened before. It shows how these people who are not force users or anything can be brave and the fight the good fight even if the odds are stacked against them. And they are okay with dying coz this is so much bigger than them. So yeah great review guys...you are the only one who got the point...seriously
No, you're not alone. I wish they would have made a movie version of the Thrawn trilogy with young CGi Han, Leia, Luke and everyone else instead of The Force Awakens. It's not bad, although I've enjoyed this one more, but once you've heard the Expanded Universe on Audiobooks, everything that Disney does from now on is just second best. But that's just me.
I love your bit on the trust subtext. I had kind of felt that at the beginning, but it became more subtle later on. But how it applies to the force was a great insight on your part.
The last scene was perfect to me, since it really made it feel like it was Vader's personal Hunt. Him, the apex predator chasing down his prey. It was the absolutely perfect setup for episode IV.
Ryan Baldwin if you watched Age of Adaline, do you remember the he guy who played young Harrison Ford? Because he sounds and looks strikingly close to Harrison.
despite this is a standalone(and a few other scenes) i was surprised and enjoyed the darker path disney took, compared to the force awakens, i prefer this more by far, this felt like a star wars film, and harsh of me to say the force awakens did not fully , i just hope that they make the last two star wars episodes(8 and 9) like rogue one with its dark but original tone
true,but i meant comparing the enemies and the tone, the first movie had a mysterious and feared villan, darth vader, it had some jokes but they werent plastered everywhere to break the suspense or silly, wheras the force awakens, kylo ren was mysterious, but that was before his helmet was removed, and jokes/puns are plastered around the film which makes it a lighter tone compared to the original trilogy,
Thank God there's at least one UA-camr out there doesn't hate CG Tarkin! Also, I loved this movie, and I'm happy to see a non cynical overanalyzed review. There's no perfect Star Wars movie out there! You could nit pick every single one, but the movies as a whole entertain us, bring us to an amazing universe that fascinates us, and tells us a stories of hope and redemption. Even the much vilified prequels have a great story, even if film production disappointed us. This movie gave us a great story, with the feel of the originals and all of the polish our modern technology allows. I easily rank it amongst the original trilogy, which I could not even say for VII.
Actually now that your brought it up, and having seen the movie. Those scenes with Jyn on the beach (with the death star plans in her hand) means that in one cut of the film, she and Cassian were intended to survive....
SPOILER - I wonder if in the original cut some of them survived? Because some of the death scenes seemed totally rushed, in fact all of the death scenes apart from K2SO's seemed rushed. I don't mind that they all died, I just wished it put a bit of emotional investment in there. Only character's death you cared about was K2SO and Gin
Sam Trott I kind of agree with you. It occurred to me halfway through watching the movie, they would all die. But it made more sense to have them die off rather that live and not appear in A New Hope. Even like "what's her name" said in episode IV, "a lot of people died to bring us this information"... Outstanding!
Think that was actually the *second* Death Star. "Many Bothans died to bring us this information," refers to them dying to get the plans for the second Death Star, which obviously would have been altered to shore up the weakness that enabled the destruction of the first.
You've completely missed the point of my comment and I thought I made it pretty darn clear. Just because characters die doesn't mean they have to be rushed deaths. I've seen many films, including war ones where the main characters die but its a gradual thing so you're emotionally invested in the characters. Rogue One was just everything is fine... dead... the end. The deaths were rushed and completely random and non sensical. KS20's made sense because he was holding the storm troopers off in the room and helping the two inside the vault. The rest just died because PLOT demands it. Funny how you state plot as the thing that usually saves the main people in other films, but the only reason they all died in this one was because the plot demanded it.
there should be a boba fett movie with a CG han and lando. alongwith chewy and maybe a few cameos from other bounty hunters like cad bane, boss and dengar
Sir Twizbiz I think they need to do something similar to mad max fury road where Boba says very little and just does awesome things the whole time. maybe get the guy who played death stroke in arrow to play Fett
I always watched your reviews to be entertained or to have a few laughs but in this case I have to admit: from a critical standpoint your review is actually extremely good. Better than most reviews of so called film critics. Keep up those good videos! Especially the part were you talked about the trust aspect of the movie in relation to the force. Very good :)
Thank you so much for this review. Your words about trust are timeless, but perhaps never more applicable than to the challenges I feel faced with. Your words touched my heart. Thanks.
Since we know the second 'Star Wars story' is going to be about Han Solo... Ideas for the third: Obi-Wan aging fast in the desert Ackbar's ascendancy 'Many Bothans...' (essentially 'Rogue Two') How Jar Jar ended up on Alderaan Boba Fett...nuff said 'Always two there are, no more, no less...' Dooku (CGI Lee) and Qui-Gonn misadventures
excellent job brother. great points! totally agree about the main points of the movie: trust, beginning of a new hope.... then someone starting cutting onions in the room...😢
Riiiiiiiiiiight because it makes more sense for Vader not to be there. GTFO Vader being there makes sense and fits in the story. It wasn't fan service. Fans loved it but had there been no Vader in a movie that ends literally minutes before A New Hope begins it would be a disservice to storytelling. Your comment makes me think you have zero clue what fan service even means.
I liked Vader, but he didn't have to be there. Tarkin could have said, "inform Lord Vader blah blah." It was just a visual treat. Awesome for sure, but just acknowledge it for what it was
TianoPCGamer he knows, he is basically saying that whenever he gets a notification he thinks its an actual hishe but then gets dissapointed when he sees that its a review. so please next time read something before talking shit.
Yeah, I also really loved the movie. And the slow pace, I loved that too since they actually got around telling a story (not a bunch of unconnected action scenes). And why I think I really loved the characters was because they all had depth and identity. I wish this director would be making the other Star Wars movies too :D
Dude you nailed this review. Because I've only seen the film once. And I felt the same way you felt when you saw it just the first time. But after watching this video it makes perfect sense. Probably the best critiquing of any film that I've ever seen. Congrats bro
Dude, that 'TRUST' interpretation of the meaning of the movie was great!
I think so too
hit me in the feels
Same
HoustonProductions1 Yes!, at last someone gets the point of the damn movie!
totally mind blown
CG Han Solo! That would rock!
Infact, why not make every character in the movie a CG Han Solo!
Don't encourage him! lol.
But it worked so well! Better than CGSE Jabba.
i agree with you about Vader, he was cool, but he should have had more of a part in the movie other that choking someone
I am with you on that
No, just please no.
What's so great about the movie is that it doesn't focus n the whole Good Jedi vs Evil Sith storyline, but the costs and horrors of the war.
Alexander Evensen it is a story about how they got the plans of the Death Star. Leia was the one who ensured the plans to be transmitted to the rebellion, but the rogue on squadron gave the plans to the rebellion and provided hope for them. It also comes down to normal people giving hope and not relying on people with magic powers to save the day
One of the things I adored about the story was that the lines between good and evil were blurred. Instead of the rebellion just being good, they bring a focus to how they have done bad things, and how war is not a bedtime story, but actually really horrific.
Alexander Evensen the was a little like a war movie (for me that's a good thing)
The costs and horrors of war was the whole point of the movie.
the entire movie was 2 things showing how the rebellion could destroy the death star and references.
Was more of a Suicide Squad than Suicide Squad
Colton Allgire That's what I thought about magnificent seven
HA!
Colton Allgire to me the movie was terrorists versus an occult. ;-;
"They destroyed our home!" - Didn't happen
Rebel Pilot dudes captured walking through the streets - Didn't Happen
"The captain says you are a friend, I will not kill you" - Didn't happen
"There is a 97.6% chance of failure" "He means well" - Didn't happen
Probably in "original" version of the movie Rogue One (or just Jyn and Cassian) survived at the end. also I think it would be awesome if Orson Krennic helped Jyn by sending plans and thus sacrificing his own life (because he was badly treated by the empire and he was friend with Galen Erso). :)
PaintedW0LF There is no need to tell me this. I already know. I just love "grey" characters. :)
+Nieznajomy43 Actually the better ending was probably the one they hinted at. Everyone gets captured, tortured, and then broken. They become the Knights of Ren at Vader's command and then when Vader dies they need a new master thus Kylo Ren in the future.
LupineShadowOmega "But Hey, That's Just a Theory, A Film Theory." ;) but still I would like to see scene in which Orson Krennic shows middle finger to empire of course not literally. :)
Nieznajomy43 Film Theory or not, Saw's voice over about what you'll become while showing Jyn in the empire garb is them hinting at a potential role reversal. lol
Without Darth Vader, this would have been the first Star Wars movie without a lightsaber fight. It is the first one where there is only one lightsaber.
Daniel Skrivan i think the blind guys stick had a lightsaber on it, at least it looked like one.
Not really much of a lightsaber fight, more like a lightsaber slaughter
True, I never thought about that...
it very much did look like a lightsaber but most if it was dont you think he would have used it??
Which I am completely okay with.
I think of it like going to a concert, where there's that one song you really hope the artist plays. And they don't. But the show is so fricken amazing that it's not until two days later that you stop and go, "Wait, they never played that one song... Screw it, that show rocked!"
Leia -"We are on a diplomatic mission"
Vader - "Bitch, I just saw you, literally 5 minutes ago, trying to escape with the plans to the Death Star!"
Yep pretty much hahaha
Jim Kirk and then he finds out that she is her daughter and that he basically tortured her.
Jim Kirk yeah i don't get it, it should have been: flagship beams plans to leaia who is at a DISTANCE, because Darth Vader is definitely not stupid enough to believe the ship that just left the one he boarded a moment ago was on a diplomatic mission to alderann. besides, what was leaia doing on that ship anyway?! (spoilers alert)
Leia- "No, that was... my CGI double."
It's called plausible deniability. She's a diplomat, so of course she bullshits Darth Vader to his face. She was banking on the fact that A) The Senate still existed B) She was being recorded by a dozen guys in full armor who probably had space-gopros built into the helmets or something and C) That the empire wasn't willing to admit that they had been engaged on equal terms by rebels and lost a great deal of men and ships in the process.
Were that all the case Leia could have leveraged the political uproar of a military attacking it's own diplomatic vessels (for no apparent reason as the empire doesn't want to look weak) to escape punishment...At least, that's the best explanation I could think of. Maybe the movie just wanted to have a way to keep the tension going after all the developed characters died.
I believe Rogue One was the most heroic Star Wars movie of all time, mainly because of the ending and the whole action sequence on Scarif.
I thought CG Tarkin was absolutely fine.
Agreed, the people who complain about the cgi are such babies.
ǝqnʇnoʎ ɹW Leia was weird though.
I didn't even really notice until I realized he was a dead actor. Totally fooled. Bamboozled.
Leia *was* weird.
Brilliant work on Tarkin, tho.
Mr. Scratch it was a little too uncanny valley for me. It was good, don't get me wrong, but the movements were just enough off and the expressions were just wonky enough that it threw me hard.
I would rather have a ton of trailer footage not be in the actual movie, rather than the trailers reveal every part of the movie.
Yup
TypicalComic BookFan like the second batman v superman trailer, it was like a short summary of this movie..
agree
Amen, brother! (Or sister.)
TOTALLY! I actually never watch trailers for movies I intend to see, because they always reveal so damn much, that there's no real reason watching it anymore.
I had no clue that there was going to be a CG Tarkin, and when he showed up, I spent the next five minutes going "Wait, was that computer generated, because he looked real, but like he was moving too perfectly, and... but... was that... whaaaaaaaaaat."
Vensey Ness Same. I had to look it up after the movie because I wasn't sure.
I totally thought they had found a look-alike actor and somewhat made him look even more like the original actor with make-up and stuff. Although CGI might have crossed my mind too. Anyway, it really isn't a bother imo
I was actually thinking they got a relative or something... The CGI was to good for me....
Rogue One: The only good star wars prequel movie
Grand MacMac--They did that for Revenge of the Sith (But Tron, X-Men, etc had set the stage afterward to do the CGI route).
...the BETTER Star Wars prequel, Diya. ;)
The part that i like the most ,is they all dead at the end, that really says they all sacrifice themselves for a higher goal. And really says how important and dangerous the mission was. And the part Jyn went to beach with Cassian to embrace the death.
This is what makes this movie unique. The only thing i don't like , is i can't see more of Felicity Jones in another Star Wars. To be honest, she would make a better Rey.
no, It was actually because this movie was to cover a plot hole, and they didnt want it to have a reflection in the rest of the story, so they had to kill all the characters to never be mentioned again
So... how should it have ended? I thought the ending was perfect. That final sequence with Vader walking through the hall was the whole reason he was in the movie. It just leads directly into episode 4 perfectly.
Yup, agree. :)
Dawson Brown That would be dumb.

The Diamond Portal lol
goatmonkey2112 it does but him coming in there was so random he litterially didn't need to be in the movie but he was awesome if they showed more it would've been better, my favorite scenes were when the Asian guy fought and darth Vader fighting
Vader's scene at the end was amazing in every way. Just him being a straight up monster!
I actually agree with you about CG Han Solo, I don't think another actor will quite give Solo the same justice that Harrison Ford can.
It could only work if the CG was better than with Tarkin. Tarkin just didn't look right. It was distracting. I can't imagine watching a whole movie where the main character looks like that. I'd have to walk out half way through
FlareKnight I agree there, but I think if the CG was good, the movie would be better than with a new actor.
and we could have Ford voice himself as well.....dun dun dunnnnnn!!!!!
Cole Walls bsh Chris's Pratt would have
Brance Nakamura What do you mean by bsh?
"Dude, Cassian is kinda dope. He and Jyn should like hook up already. Seriously, there's not much time, they need to hurry up."
Same, man, same.
I do agree on the Vader thing. It wasn't needed, but it was super cool
Meghan Lyle, agreed. It did make me wonder why he was so agile and using the force as a weapon... But then in the rest of the series, he fights much slower and less ferociously. I guess his emotions towards Obi-Wan and Luke held him back?
The originals were based on a different fighting style more akin to Samurai (Kendo practice), where one strike, one kill counter-attack is the ultimate form.
Forrest Whittacker's character wasn't needed, Vader was since he was ordered ultimately the one who would be ordered to recover the stolen plans, at a minimum he would have needed to appear towards the end.
D00mM4r1n3 totally agree with your opinions on whitaker and vader.
Agreed. Also, whilst the end sequence was cool, it makes his appearance at the start of ANH less impressive. Why would he wail on a load of rebel troops one minute and just sit back until the job's done the next?
The line about "All is as the Force wills it" has bugged me since I first heard it. I mean, if that's true, then the Force WANTED the Empire to happen, and even worse, the Force WANTED Jar-Jar happened.
As I understand it, ep 1-6 is how the force corrected an imbalance (getting rid of dark side users). The will of the force doesn't seem to be straightforward and logical, but that might mean there's an element of free will in regards to the force. Imagine the force is a river. It diverts around stones and animals with in it, but it ultimately still reaches the sea.
It's just a spin on "Everything happens for a reason" mixed in like a prayer. However...many people fall back on this...saying this good or bad thing happened for a reason we may or may not be able to see at the moment. There can't be any good without the bad...You can't overcome evil, unless there is evil.
The Empire happened because the Jedi Senate began to lose trust within the force. When they learned to trust the force, that's when they were finally able to push against the empire.
Lego Superhero Studios I think of kotr2 the force is a bizarre blue and orange morality type existence
Lego Superhero Studios You misunderstood the force. The force strives for BALANCE. Balance between dark and light. The dark provides the opposite so people can know the difference and choose good.
Are you kidding me?! I'm Blind!!!
The Battlefront Grind Herrcks yes
The Battlefront Grind
hahaha
I love this part
Best fucking line of the movie IMHO.
Chirrut is ALWAYS 360 no-scope. Because he can't scope.
But it's still awesome.
+Kellic AnonymousTiger it's so funny
Completely inspiring Hishe. That was one of the best reviews I've watched on Rogue One and I love the way you interpreted that movie. I agree with on all of it 100%. Keep rocking.
I read that the original version had them all make it out alive, but the mouse said nay.
"Kill them all. I want tears from the audience." - Mickey Mouse
It makes since that they all die. Otherwise you'd have to explain why the Rogue One crew were not a central focus in the mission to destroy the Death Star.
who else found it awesome that red and gold leaders were taken straight from a new hope?
suomalainen I found it a good inclusion but far from awesome
I was squeeing like a fangirl during that scene, because it was the original actors, not recast younger actors.
I like how all the background characters wore 70's mustaches. It's a nice touch.
They also used Wedge's voice actor from IV and V and found a way to include why Luke became Red Five.
When you guys do Rogue One, you need to include the scene where Tarkin assumes command of the Death Star; his whole justification for it was basically "I called dibs....before you even started building this."
The Story Of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
EVERYONE DIED
MREZ so true
Now we know what they mean by "many rebel lives where lost in the via ing of this information"
Wrong Death Star plans.
FoenixRight calm down this was a joke
Okay, I know this is gonna be a bit controversial, because I saw this movie after just watching (for the first time ever) A New Hope, and I thought this movie was absolutely amazing even though I didn't get nostalgic, or get the throwbacks. It's just an amazing movie overall; the score, the pacing, the cinematography, the acting, everything.
Except younger-jyn's acting though
+Sarah Shah That's what I pretty much thought too. The movie had its flaws, but they weren't enough to detract from the overall experience.
Did you recognize Gold and Red Leaders from the Battle of Yavin in A New Hope, at least?
Skeletor Jopko yeah, that was cool.
+Silver12331 First off, I personally had no issue with young Jyn. Second, good young child actors are hard to come by. Third, what didn't you like about young Jyn?
[SPOILER ALERT] Princess Lea gets captured
Krashes [SPOILER ALERT ] Luke Skywalker is the son of Darth Vader
CheapCheepGamer NOOOOOOOOOO!!!
FOR FUCKSAKE SHUT UP! STOP SPOILING! Next you be telling us Leia and Luke are siblings
Jake The Snake [SPOILER ALERT] Luke Skywalker goes with Obewan Kanobi to ask for help from Han Solo
ManUtdBoy13 [SPOILER ALERT] Luke and Leia are both related to Darth Vader.
Honestly, I had ten times the hype for The Force Awakens than I did for this, but I had a much better experience watching Rogue One than that. I'm honestly considering making this my favourite Star Wars film, and I can't tell why. Just something about it had me on the edge of my seat for two and a half hours.
Also CG Han Solo would be pretty lit, but I think it would be a bit of a distraction. I spent most of the Tarkin scenes staring at his face trying to figure out whether or not it was CGI or really good makeup.
LeinadTM I fully agree. Force awakens had just so much fucking money in marketing and everyone was hyped about it
There reasonings to "keep it safe" not only will impact the rest of the trilogy, but also the characters as well too since they are all so similar to the people before them
Rogue one was something new, and that something new enhanced not only the original trilogy, but even the prequels at the same time, while giving a fantastic plot line, great characters, and action scenes that makes everything else just look foolish in comparrison
Really is the best star wars movie ever
Yeah, for me personally it was the emotional roller coaster. I feel like Star Wars never really captured the true feelings as a main focus in previous films (Despite Lucas saying it was supposed to be about family or whatever the fuck he thought, but we all know after the originals he just turned into an idiot (if he wasn't before, anyway...)) This gets you really attached to the characters in such a short time, and I personally didn't see the deaths of all the main characters coming (I know a lot of people did but for some reason I didn't latch onto that) And to see them brought down, 1 by 1, really gets to us because we see that they put their mission and the safety/future of the galaxy in front of their own lives. It isn't planned by Jen, Cassien or any of the other rebels to have them all die, but to see that further into the battle when they are split up they know what they must do for the benefit of the galaxy!
Along with all this we have cameos and some insight into Grand Moff Tarkin (even if he looked like a video game character) and who can ignore the Darth Vader scenes, we see him vulnerable and kept at the site of his former master's 'betrayal' (from his point of view) as a form of torture (I think) done by the emperor. And that scene at the end was just epic, it showed how evil the little boy from Tatooine has become and also showing how desperate those rebel troopers were to get the plans to Leia.
Among other things like the references to the prequels (as much as they sucked, I love how they incorporated them to make the prequels feel believable and almost important to the star wars franchise), for example Leia's adoptive father being played by the same actor, leads to this movie being as close to perfection as possible (still flaws of course like the stupid octopus mind thing, that was pointless) in my view, I loved it for sure!!!
LeinadTM Same
LeinadTM i had a similar experience i put so much faith in the force awakens that i thought the next one was going to suck but it didn't
"I am one with the Force and the Force is with me" really is one of the best lines from this film. I think my favourite character had to be K2 or Cherrut- I love the idea of a blind Jedi using the Force and kicking ass. As soon as he marched over to the main switch I knew he was going to die...........
But I expected Jyn and Cassian to survive at least, maybe Obi Wan and the Eagles came and rescued them!
no, seriously, the eagle thing. When the rebel planes came down, my head screamed "THE EAGLES ARE COMING"
It's like he's saying flibbertigibbet
He is no jedi
wait tarkin was cg?
i mean i know he wasnt the original actor but dude
I had no idea either going in and actually didn't notice.
Edward Wu same for me
He was an actor with CG effects on his face, and Leia too.
Indeed. CGI has come very far in recent years.
But note that both Tarkin and Leia where limited to a calm expression all the time... almost expressionless, I'd say. I guess it wouldn't work as well if you wanted them to be expressive.
Rogue one was a better suicide squad
Lets be honest, Suicide Squad was not all it was hyped up to be and didnt set the bar very high, but this movie thrashed it anyway
you say it like they were comparable movies.
That's it, huh? We're some kinda...Rogue One?
THANK YOU! Thats what I've been saying
It was an actual suicide squad...
*Sticks sack over head*
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I'M BLIND!!!"
Or is it..."are you kidding me?"
"i'm blind!"
bra just because of your picture i want to check if you remember that he said: leap of fatih.
TechNomad Are you kidding me!?Im blind! best scene
"I'M BLIND!!"
The only problem I have with this movie is this:
THE STORMTROOPERS' AIMS ARE STILL SHIT!
Carlota Jimenez 😥😂😂😂
Carlota Jimenez i am with the force the force is with me
Continuity my friend.
The Stormtroopers can't just suddenly be good at shooting. It's in their character.
Its great isn't it? It really adds tension to the movie when the bad guys can't hit anything and can be bested by a girl with a stick or a blind guy with a stick.
Carlota Jimenez they explained this.... it's because the force is protecting them until their purpose is complete
If you didn't watch the trailers, you'll think this is the best movie of 2016. If you're a Star Wars fan, you'll love it. It blew my expectations out of the water
When I came out of the theater from TFA I was super excited; but when I came out from Rogue One I kind of underwhelmed. But upon rethinking, Rogue One is a much better movie. It's darker, it has nostalgia but doesn't shove it down your throat, it makes ANH a better movie, and it ties the prequels to original trilogy...and of course that Vader scene. Yet there are plenty of emotional parts: when Jyn sees the message from her father, when she has to leave his body behind, K-2SO's death, etc.
I liked having characters that mattered in the universe that weren't Jedi or the Skywalker family. The only thing I really missed was the John Williams score, it just doesn't feel like SW without it. I would currently rank SW:
1. Empire Strikes Back
2. Rogue One
3. New Hope
4. Revenge of the Sith
5. Force Awakens
6. Return of the Jedi
7. Attack of the Clones
8. Phantom Menace
Mallika Banerjee I agree
Mallika Banerjee Excellent analysis
Dat Vader scene at the end woops
Mallika Banerjee dude you copy and pasted this off someone else
Mallika Banerjee
Well it's obviously better than TFA. All it had to be was slightly better than a steaming pile of shit to do that. I think the entire original trilogy is better than this movie though, and ROTS as well
I'm glad someone else acknowledged how much stuff they chopped from the trailers for the actual movie. Thank you!!!
***** Agreed! Though that tie fighter at the end of the bridge would have been petty awesome.
They had that tie fighter get shot by an x wing from the side, they had already did that with the at-st's scene so they felt it would be repetitive to have the x wing come in and save the day again in the same fashion so they scrapped it
Lord Humungus That makes more sense now! Thanks :)
I never watch trailers due to liking to be surprised, I have all media blackout with Star Wars movies so I didn't even know it was about the Death Star until I got to the cinema so I didn't get this disappointment and only had an awesome experience.
Jay WingsOfFire hey guys I just noticed Donnie yen didn't even do his battle speech like the one in the trailers ... quite vexed now
I call for the CG Han Solo, HISHE! I mean, seriously, they are so good with CG nowadays, it would be WAY better than some guy that doesn't look anywhere near to Harrison Ford.
Seth Snode 8 agree
It's a good idea, but is not too expensive? Or maybe it will be weird that the movie doesn't actually has an actor for the other actors to act or to give interviews and promote the movie
Seth Snode same!
Sadly you were wrong.
How about now??
I agree with the Vader bit. Yes his scene was awesome, BUT I think the last scene with him, would have had so much more of an impact on the audience, if they had kept him out of the movie till that last part. CAN you IMAGINE the feeling of seeing that black figure and the red glow when he steps out. YAAAS OwO
Good review
Nstone53 I dunno. It would've been weird to me if he just showed up without having any previous scenes.
Brad Wright well they could have elude to someone higher up the ranks though the movie. There are ways.
Nstone53 Ehh but then people would've bitched they just randomly put him in for fan service. At least now he had impact on the story and wasn't just a hood ornament for the last two minutes. It also gave brought Vaders castle into canon, a thrown away idea by Lucas back during the OT. Love that kind of world building
Maybe if there was a mention that the Emperor himself sent someone to clean up Krenick's mess? Then have the Vader scene shortly afterward.
I think Vader's appearance was to help Krennic's character development.
I honestly thought this was the best Star Wars movie yet. It was shot ten times better than any of the others. Although, the original trilogy was shot 30, 40 years ago, so that's not very fair...lol.
Anyway, the characters weren't as solid as they could be (from a development standpoint), but it worked. They didn't seem to force the cameos. They all fit in to me, including Darth Vader.
I also liked that everyone died. No one does that these days. Someone always flies in and saves the protagonist(s). This time? NOPE. I was pleasantly surprised. Didn't have to wonder where the characters are made anew for prequels were in the originals.
From a filmmaker's perspective, I loved this movie. The lower f stop, the tighter camera angles, the slower build up and plot development, and no hokey lines. I much preferred K's sarcasm to Fin's "Yeah! I am DEFINITELY with the resistance." This movie was well written compared to The Force Awakens especially.
Overall, I liked this movie. Best Star Wars yet. The darker tone was needed and so was the slow plot. It was different, but in a good way. The $200M Rogue One has raked in so far gives me hope that this film will get the credit I believe it deserves. Even if I didn't like the movie, the up-to-the-minute connections to A New Hope reveals the missing piece in the puzzle, filling the gap that leads up to the film that started it all. I thoroughly enjoyed Star Wars: Rogue One.
Great review. Two points about Vader's scenes Vader had to be in the movie because A New Hope establishes that (1) his is somehow affiliated with the Death Star program, even though the Death Star is under Tarkin's command and (2) Vader was the one pursuing the stolen plans in Episode 4, and his sorcerer's ways were not yielding results. So there being no Vader in this movie, and then suddenly he turns up tracking down and capturing the Tantive IV would have been odd. It might almost suggest that Tarkin was being watched...he's in charge of the project, but the Emperor swiftly sends in his right hand man now that the plans are gone.
So that means that having Vader there at the end and Tarkin asserting that Vader was in charge of dealing the rebel fleet makes it seem like *Tarkin* asked him to handle that part of it, so Tarkin and Vader are copacetic. It then makes perfect sense that Vader pursues the Tantive IV, because they knew the plans were uploaded (in part because the capital ship Vader would have been directing crashed into anf nullified the planetary shield) and they knew that some ships escaped the system, with those plans (and it was Vader's job to deal with them). Not one to pass the buck, of course Vader--and not Tarkin--hunted down the escaped ships, including the Tantive IV).
That's the space battle scene, what about the castle on Mustafar? I feel there were two purposes. First, it was character development for Krennic, who was not only intemperate and vainglorious, but enough so to try to end run his boss--and risking his life by appealing to Vader (who was so terrifying that the Imperial Pilot Bodhi was frightened just hearing Saw Gerrera breath through a mask)--just to get credit from the Emperor directly. And getting choked for it. That is a big risk to take and does say something about his obsession with gaining status.
Second, and more importantly, that scene in the castle established that Vader was also involved in the project and knew the details. Without it, Vader shows up at the end like an evil and convenient deus ex machina descending from the ceiling unexpectedly. With this scene, it makes perfect sense that Tarkin would have called on Vader since Vader is no fan of Krennic, is involved in the process and is a capable warrior with military experience.
(Now, what maybe makes less sense is how Tarkin new to tell Vader "and when you get there, deal with the Rebel fleet." Even the rebels didn't know they were sending a fleet until they did, and Tarkin wouldn't have known that the rebels would be attacking the archive *right* at that moment...so I felt like there was some convenient foresight on his part. But I have only seen it once, so maybe there was some reason for his foreknowledge I missed.)
Love this. Spot on.
Beautiful conclusion! I walked away from the theatre head full of those themes as well--trust and belonging--but haven't had a 2nd watching to cement the ideas. You put it into words really well.
honestly if we can perfect the CG characters faces, than im all for a CG Han Solo
Well, i rather have real life actors play young people but in this case, doing Tarkin is nearly impossible, since Peter Cushing has that unique face. I think Leia was just for the fan service since it's less then a minute that we see her.
By the time the Han Solo movie gets into post production they've already perfected the CG.
Unless they get Ford to play it and go directly off his expressions this is a recipe for failure. It's about the performance at least as much as the technology. Also, the insane amount of work involved in realistically crafting every nuance of a main character is something else entirely to the few scenes of Tarkin, who didn't seem to work for half the audience anyway. Certainly didn't work for me, especially the moments when he occupied the same frame as a real human.
Oznerol I was fine with CG Leiah, because she made a small appearance. I think if there is talent, let them have a career and be Han Solo. There are less expensive ways of making him Han Solo.
iluvmym4 what? Dude CG leia was way better and realistic looking than tarkin! Also, having not seen the old star wars movies to go off of reference, i thought leia was an actual real person. As supposed to Tarkin, who i could tell was obviously CG.
Loved Rogue One. It added a gravitas to this franchise that went missing after the prequels. The Force Awakens was good and set a great tone but I never bothered to see it again. This one I will.
Backfromthedeadguy me too. Force awakens I can go without seeing multiple times and is cool, just not much too it. This one is very intricate and was a lot more exciting
Backfromthedeadguy Me too i think rogue one is my 3rd fav star wars movie after empire and the original movie
The reason many things that are in the trailer aren't in the movie is because it was originally meant to have a complete different ending.
True there was a different ending..not sure that's the reason for the trailer being different. To me most of the cuts are for the last act...and they perhaps just cut it down...meaing..removed the fact they needed to steal the plans, then run to the radar dish..instead it was all in the same building.
I hope we can see all the cut scenes in the DVD release.
I'm sure we will, in like, the 2nd or third version.
SkinoReturns Blu-ray, DVD. Potayto potato
They cut a LOT more than the last act. A significant portion of the 1st act was too. Extensive reshoots do that though.
"hizzie"? I thought its obviously pronounced as "hishe" or just "hish", no?
Fujtajblus it's his channel
I thought it was he she.
I agree. It is hish-e
Fujtajblus "I dunno. It all sounds like a sneeze."
-Lego Batman
Why are people saying this is one of the best movies of the year? It's easily the best movie.
TohDoh slow year?
lol
Helsenk HA
I already have a good idea for HISHE Rogue One. When Chirrut is wacking the stormtroopers to death in Jedha, instead of having a staff he pulls out a Darth Mail-like lightsaber and slices them to bits... because he lives in a place full of kyber crystals, has complete Jedi beliefs, and therefore could EASILY build a lightsaber himself
And someone points out to Tarkin that blowing up their own archives and men would probably only cause more defections, and the emperor may not be too happy about losing all his data. Yes they lost some massive plans but, they had a good chance of getting them back and almost did. Also they could still use and probably need all the un-stolen ones. It's like burning down your house because you have an ant problem. Then again that man was so trigger happy he blew up a planet for no reason other to rub it in Leia's face and then eventually costs him his own life (thank you Luke and Han).
Let's not forget the sequence where half the Empire's archivists/librarians defect, seeing as the Death Star LITERALLY blew up nearly all their backup records on Scarif.
Edit: Whoops, looks like someone more or less said this already. Apologies, friend!
Gemnist no because only Jedi can build lightsabers. If a non force user tries to make one they might die most likely
*Maul. Also, you first two guys realize you basically said the same thing right?
@mandokomixkid You sure? I know in the Legends universe you have to use the Force, but outside of the deleted Mark Hamill scene for ROTJ I don't think lightsaber building was ever established in the movies. So they could get away with it for the general crowd that only looks upon the Canon universe this film is set in.
I didn't notice that Tarkin is CG though......
I thought it was an amazing make up, but...yeah, maybe I'm just stupid
I was thinking ..."wow ...this guy is still alive".
So ...this makes two of us :p
same I thought Tarkin and Leia CG was good
same
Tarkin was good but Leila's felt weird.
I did not even notice that Tarkin was CGI..
I thought they just casted a real actor
well lol
Man that was an awesome video, thank you all for your amazing content and hard work!
In my opinion, best star wars movie ever.
ALTHOUGH, I felt the cg was unnecessary, along with the first two darth vader scenes, although the ending completely redeemed that
snuke37 I guess so, in my opinion the original trilogy movies are the most cliche, I most likely preferred rogue one to all the others because it is so much darker, which I feel just allows the creators so much more freedom in plot line as it doesn't have to be family friendly
William DeMarco u ok mate?...
William DeMarco kk
snuke37 I guess so, I just don't really understand why people love the original trilogy so much, as bad as the acting and visuals were in the prequels I thought the plot line and all the huge battles, lightsaber duels and aliens were awesome. The original trilogy may have been groundbreaking in its day but just isn't very interesting in my opinion nowadays
this movie was such an emotional roller coaster. i went from being on the verge of tears when i realized everyone died at the end. to freaking out like a school girl when i saw vader just slicing fools down
The speech about trust..Daamn.This guy's just opened my eyes..
I really like these reviews. They make me laugh as much as the shorts! I loved his Star Wars song interpretation at the beginning! And when he's talking about Cassian, Jyn, and Bohdy (I think this is how their names are spelled)!😂 Keep up the good work!👍🏻
P.S. I think the CG young Han Solo movie sounds pretty cool! (From my personal opinion!)😊
I'm so sad that everyone died
The all mighty Dilbert ikr
The all mighty Dilbert yeah like that theory of Jan being Reys mom makes perfect sense but then they get nuked your the Death Star
The all mighty Dilbert me too but they kinda had to because "Many bothans died to bring us this information" or something like that
My eyes were watery in the theaters. It was probably because of the 3D glasses
The all mighty Dilbert spoilers!
Very profound thoughts. Thanks for sharing! ....and a cg Han Solo film is a terrible terrible idea....and I think deep down...you know that too.
The Han Solo film itself is a terrible idea, Harrison Ford IS Han Solo. Another actor in the role would feel more jarring than having a CG replacement
BrotherhoodWorkshop Mah fan you dum.....stopz actin dum
BrotherhoodWorkshop But on a real note, I agree and disagree
BrotherhoodWorkshop I personally think a Han Solo movie is a bad idea in general. But I didn't think Rouge One was going to be good and I really liked it!
I'd totally go for a CG Han Solo movie.
Arkatox agreed
Of course I would want a CG Han Solo movie, because only CG has the power to duplicate Han's real face from history. DUH.
Yeeeeeeeesssss! I thought of the same thing after seeing Rogue One! I realize they were pretty sparing with their CG characters, and it was all pretty stable, low-action shots, but this definitely felt like it COULD be proof-of-concept for another movie (hopefully Han Solo standalone) with more extensive use of the technique. Fingers crossed!
I am glad I didn't see any trailer for this film ('cause I know I'm still gonna see it). So I watched it without any expectation, and man, to me, this is the best Starwars film yet. BUT, it only was the best to me BECAUSE of the originals. Without them, I would not appreciate Rogue One as much.
I thought the stick guy's stick should have became a lightsaber at one point
Also the knights of ren theory sounds like matpat's theory
But hey, that's just a theory !
+HawxFighter a film theory.......anddddddd cut
no his theory's are fun the knights of Ren one is just another who are they theory.
Emarosiegamer Draws duh , scenewriter got triggered by this theory so he killed entire rouge 1 altough there was a metion of r1 in new hope xD
didnt even know they were cgi until my dad mentioned it
also im pretty sure they had to reshoot it as it got horrible reviews from critics
it was that it wasn't getting the response they wanted and honestly I dot care if they go back and fix things
Cody Archer I learned it from youtube
Cody Archer I could tell by the way they looked
I didn't know until me and my roommate started arguing about what the heck was up with Leia and I google stormed and found out about the CGI for her and Tarkin
I didn't even realize tarkin was CG after seeing it twice
i can't even hear your voice without imagining superman sitting behind the computer and talking to a mic.
great review and i absolutely love your channel especially superhero café :)
I want CG Han Solo for the record.
I'd also rather have a CG Han Solo than have a new actor
No body can play Han Solo except Harrison Ford.
Han is with the Ford, and the Ford is with Han.
Yeah how bout Han Solo stays as we remember him. We could like idk, stop poking at stuff many people care about. Fuck me, right?
clay Bar Han is one with the Ford, the Ford is with Han
Ryan Packer yep
CG Tarkin looked way better than make-up Tarkin from Revenge of the Sith.
*shudders*
Fortner Films 2016 You mean the prosthetics that you saw from way far away? K kid
Fortner Films 2016
you barely saw him in revenge of the sith. did you pause the movie to analyze his face? lol
All-things-Nerd I paused and zoomed in and even googled images, it's really not that great compared to cgi tarkin :)
Fortner Films 2016 I thought something weird was up with that , I continuously struggling to wrap my head around how or why his face looked CG , I had imagined I might have been hallucinating , only after watching this vid did I realise I wasn't and that Leia was also CG
Hehe
I agree about needing CG Han Solo!
Dylan Campbell nah we just need Anthony Ingruber to play Han Solo. He played younger Harrison in age of Adeline and looks just like him
Bradley Simonson Chris Pratt should have been given the part
I actually really laugh with your songs in the beginning, do your thing brother.
You're SO RIGHT about the trust thing!! (And sacrifice.)
I thought Rogue One from the trailers didn't look promising to me but when i saw it i thought to myself that this is one of the best movies of the year! I think it links well to episode 4. Btw shouldn't Rogue One be called Star Wars Episode 3.5
i would call it episode 3.9 as it happens immediately before episode 4
CharmanderBoy50 You're drinking the hype Kool aid man. It will fade and you'll see this movie for what it really is
All-things-Nerd Do you not like it?
All-things-Nerd
Out of all of the star wars movies I think its ranked in the top 3
CharmanderBoy50
Was it weird that I saw this comment about the Rogue One trailer while the Rogue one trailer was playing on this Rogue one video?
I'm all for CG Han Solo if the whole movie is CG.
Dan Slash that would take them way too long
CG Han alone would take them too long and be too expensive. They already said Tarkin was one of the most costly CG enterprises in movie history, and he was in like 20% of the movie.
*****
Then we're gonna have a Rogue One situation where it's the most terrible thing and lowers the movies quality drastically.
Scarecrow545
Wow what a complete waste of effort and money then.
*****
Really? I keep hearing all over the place how CGI Tarkin and CGI Leia took them out of the movie instantly.
And I gree the stood out like a sore thumb.
Dan Slash
I mean it's to be expected. I commend the effort, personally. I didn't think it was perfect, but it didn't take me out of the movie like others are saying. I was forced to watch it in 3D, maybe that helped. We're almost there. A few more years, maybe a decade, and I think we will be.
I know I am late to this coz I only started following hishe now. But your review was kind of spot on. Especially the part about trust and the subtext. It's not a perfect movie and has its flaws but this is the first Star wars movie that hit me emotionally because that has never happened before. It shows how these people who are not force users or anything can be brave and the fight the good fight even if the odds are stacked against them. And they are okay with dying coz this is so much bigger than them. So yeah great review guys...you are the only one who got the point...seriously
I like how the trailer didn't give anything away.
Nope, it was filled with red herrings...a few I wish would have been in the actual film.
Andrew T thank you! I'm actually not mad that the shit they used to hype gave absolutely nothing away and got our imaginations going
No, you're not alone. I wish they would have made a movie version of the Thrawn trilogy with young CGi Han, Leia, Luke and everyone else instead of The Force Awakens. It's not bad, although I've enjoyed this one more, but once you've heard the Expanded Universe on Audiobooks, everything that Disney does from now on is just second best. But that's just me.
I also want a han solo cg! Harrison Ford is for me han solo, nobody can replace him as han solo
SkyMaxi Chris Pratt
I love your bit on the trust subtext. I had kind of felt that at the beginning, but it became more subtle later on. But how it applies to the force was a great insight on your part.
Best review. Your "trust talk" was very insightful.
The last scene was perfect to me, since it really made it feel like it was Vader's personal Hunt. Him, the apex predator chasing down his prey. It was the absolutely perfect setup for episode IV.
CG Han Solo would be gr8
Ryan Baldwin if you watched Age of Adaline, do you remember the he guy who played young Harrison Ford? Because he sounds and looks strikingly close to Harrison.
despite this is a standalone(and a few other scenes) i was surprised and enjoyed the darker path disney took, compared to the force awakens, i prefer this more by far, this felt like a star wars film, and harsh of me to say the force awakens did not fully , i just hope that they make the last two star wars episodes(8 and 9) like rogue one with its dark but original tone
R1 had a luxury TFA didn't have. TFA is act one of a three act play. R1 is a start finish one act movie. I liked both, for different reasons.
true,but i meant comparing the enemies and the tone, the first movie had a mysterious and feared villan, darth vader, it had some jokes but they werent plastered everywhere to break the suspense or silly, wheras the force awakens, kylo ren was mysterious, but that was before his helmet was removed, and jokes/puns are plastered around the film which makes it a lighter tone compared to the original trilogy,
Thank God there's at least one UA-camr out there doesn't hate CG Tarkin! Also, I loved this movie, and I'm happy to see a non cynical overanalyzed review. There's no perfect Star Wars movie out there! You could nit pick every single one, but the movies as a whole entertain us, bring us to an amazing universe that fascinates us, and tells us a stories of hope and redemption. Even the much vilified prequels have a great story, even if film production disappointed us. This movie gave us a great story, with the feel of the originals and all of the polish our modern technology allows. I easily rank it amongst the original trilogy, which I could not even say for VII.
Finally someone understood the film.
Who else loved felicity Jones's lips they were amazing!
My second favorite after Natalie Dormer.
Jose Sanchez They just look like they are amazing lips to kiss.
Who else died laughing at 2:38 cause i did.
Lps Prism Productions
Do you know the music at 3:12
BJB Gamer.2 No sorry
Lps Prism Productions
Oh it's Ok
i'll ask othera
Others*
Lps Prism Productions IM DYING 😆
Actually now that your brought it up, and having seen the movie. Those scenes with Jyn on the beach (with the death star plans in her hand) means that in one cut of the film, she and Cassian were intended to survive....
SPOILER - I wonder if in the original cut some of them survived? Because some of the death scenes seemed totally rushed, in fact all of the death scenes apart from K2SO's seemed rushed. I don't mind that they all died, I just wished it put a bit of emotional investment in there. Only character's death you cared about was K2SO and Gin
Sam Trott I think that Cassian and Jyn were supposed to survive but then it was changed in the reshoots
Sam Trott I kind of agree with you. It occurred to me halfway through watching the movie, they would all die. But it made more sense to have them die off rather that live and not appear in A New Hope. Even like "what's her name" said in episode IV, "a lot of people died to bring us this information"... Outstanding!
Think that was actually the *second* Death Star. "Many Bothans died to bring us this information," refers to them dying to get the plans for the second Death Star, which obviously would have been altered to shore up the weakness that enabled the destruction of the first.
"A lot of them died" doesn't mean they all had to die.
You've completely missed the point of my comment and I thought I made it pretty darn clear. Just because characters die doesn't mean they have to be rushed deaths. I've seen many films, including war ones where the main characters die but its a gradual thing so you're emotionally invested in the characters.
Rogue One was just everything is fine... dead... the end. The deaths were rushed and completely random and non sensical. KS20's made sense because he was holding the storm troopers off in the room and helping the two inside the vault. The rest just died because PLOT demands it. Funny how you state plot as the thing that usually saves the main people in other films, but the only reason they all died in this one was because the plot demanded it.
there should be a boba fett movie with a CG han and lando. alongwith chewy and maybe a few cameos from other bounty hunters like cad bane, boss and dengar
Yeah, everybody loves Denga!
Boba Fett movie? I don't understand why so many people are such big fans of him. He only spoke two to three lines in the entire franchise.
+Jolene Gov more if you count the amount of times he said dad in attack of the clones
They did some stuff with him in Clone Wars, with Dengar acting like a foster Dad to a very angry Boba.
Sir Twizbiz I think they need to do something similar to mad max fury road where Boba says very little and just does awesome things the whole time. maybe get the guy who played death stroke in arrow to play Fett
I always watched your reviews to be entertained or to have a few laughs but in this case I have to admit: from a critical standpoint your review is actually extremely good. Better than most reviews of so called film critics. Keep up those good videos!
Especially the part were you talked about the trust aspect of the movie in relation to the force. Very good :)
Rogue One is an real Suicide Squad
True
Everyone is theorizing about who Rey's parents are but my guess is it's just random people. Not everything has to be connected somehow.
Yeah but then they wouldn't be following the Skywalker lineage so I'd bet my life REY is Luke's daughter
Also, if she had a daughter, would she really just sit and wait for the end on the beach like that?
Didn't even dawn on me that harkin was CG, that says something in how amazing the tech was
Thank you so much for this review. Your words about trust are timeless, but perhaps never more applicable than to the challenges I feel faced with. Your words touched my heart. Thanks.
You can strike me down if you want, but I think rogue one is my favorite star wars movie yet.
Tied with Empire in my book.
Since we know the second 'Star Wars story' is going to be about Han Solo...
Ideas for the third:
Obi-Wan aging fast in the desert
Ackbar's ascendancy
'Many Bothans...' (essentially 'Rogue Two')
How Jar Jar ended up on Alderaan
Boba Fett...nuff said
'Always two there are, no more, no less...'
Dooku (CGI Lee) and Qui-Gonn misadventures
wasn't the 3rd going to be about bobba fett?
heyitsyeh I would pay to see Jar Jar Alderaan
Trank was supposed to do Boba Fett but they cancelled that. But i still think their doing Boba Fett movie and also Obi Wan
I'd be all about a young Qui-Gonn and Dooku flick.
The third movie should be about Vader hunting down of all the Jedi after Episode 3 and the start of the rebellion.
why do people think vader is Luke's father ?
they don't even *luke* alike!
:D
*BADUMM TSSSS!!!*
Excited Cat Go back to the Cynadide&Happiness-comment section!!!😉
Ayyyyyyyy!
Get out
Somebody crack open a window, Vader musta-farted!
You guy's better Tark-in or Tark-out :P
excellent job brother. great points! totally agree about the main points of the movie: trust, beginning of a new hope.... then someone starting cutting onions in the room...😢
Vader being there was 1,000% fan service.
Jasmine Cagurangan Great movie though.
Well.. he's kinda important to this story
Riiiiiiiiiiight because it makes more sense for Vader not to be there. GTFO Vader being there makes sense and fits in the story. It wasn't fan service. Fans loved it but had there been no Vader in a movie that ends literally minutes before A New Hope begins it would be a disservice to storytelling. Your comment makes me think you have zero clue what fan service even means.
I liked Vader, but he didn't have to be there. Tarkin could have said, "inform Lord Vader blah blah." It was just a visual treat. Awesome for sure, but just acknowledge it for what it was
DatBoy SoTalented What? Of course he had to be there. It would've made no sense
Every time. I think it's a HISHE, and it turns out to be a review. I wish the stuff that isn't HISHE was on another channel.
idiot it says review in the title
TianoPCGamer he knows, he is basically saying that whenever he gets a notification he thinks its an actual hishe but then gets dissapointed when he sees that its a review. so please next time read something before talking shit.
bleachio followerofclorox except it doesn't say that anywhere
Kermode well either way he might if not seen the full title and clicked on the vid therefore getting dissapointed.
It's in the thumbnail and the fourth word in the title
"I am one with the force the force is with me"
Yeah, I also really loved the movie.
And the slow pace, I loved that too since they actually got around telling a story (not a bunch of unconnected action scenes).
And why I think I really loved the characters was because they all had depth and identity.
I wish this director would be making the other Star Wars movies too :D
I enjoyed Rogue One: A Halo Reach story
gtfo
:'(
lol i made that connection too. i was like "was is this? The Noble team lol"
Yeah but this was just as awesome as Halo Reach
Either you think like me, or you have seen me comment this somewhere.
i loved the CG faces too, they did a great job
Rip Carrie fisher
Dude you nailed this review. Because I've only seen the film once. And I felt the same way you felt when you saw it just the first time. But after watching this video it makes perfect sense. Probably the best critiquing of any film that I've ever seen. Congrats bro
