Imagine my shock when the puzzle came with a picture of Bruce Jenner on the box, and said "Wheaties". It looked nothing like either 'Rogue One' or Bruce when I finally managed to figure out where the extra pieces went, and I still had pieces left over.
yeah, those ones are notorious for breaking while trying to assemble the puzzle. I've personally only gotten half the thing done, and it all looked the same. The thing doesn't even look like the tiger on the front!
This review should contain a "spoiler alert" warning. There are a number of things he says about the puzzle that I wouldn't want to know until I tried it. Now I don't even want to try. And I had deliberately avoided all of the jigsaw reviews. : (
Don't even attempt the puzzle. Not even once! It will ruin your life, as it has mine. I hope this message hasn't come too late, and you're living as a hobo like me as a result of that damn puzzle.
@@Mineav I actually got this puzzle after watching this video. It is as Peter describes it. It took my wife and I 3 hours to complete the boarder... THE BOARDER! All the pieces are the same and we still arn't sure all the pieces of the boarder are in the right spot because the pieces beside each other are identical and we will find out when we go into the puzzle if the boarder needs to be moved around..... It is a nightmare. Do NOT buy!!!! I hope this message saves one soul from this spawn of hell!
contrary to popular opinion, i thought the puzzle was great. even though it was cryptic and hard to understand, the overall visuals soared beyond the boundaries of my imagination. thrilling, exciting, beautiful. 10/10
That bit where Darth Vader goes on EmpireTwitter and tweets about the unfair press distortions in regards to the Empire and that the Death Star totally wasn't destroyed, it's just a hoax perpetrated by the Hutts. Sublime!
oh my god, why hasn't there been a darth trump video, found somewhere on youtube, yet? at least a "darth vader reads trump quotes" video. i need to find james earl jones!
I can't believe they did a last minute redesign of the puzzle to say "whiteI supremacy sucks" in large read test across the image of the death star. I was angrily shaking my white hooded robes at the news!
Funny thing about this review it reminded me of a time when a restaurant critic reviewed a McDonald’s. This really happened. No joke. He complained that he didn’t get a parking space by the door and as a result he almost hit a kid. What did he think McDonald’s was going to do, have an employee stand in a space all day holding a sign that said saved for restaurant critic. And how was it McDonald’s fault that he almost hit a kid? Did he expect another employee to act as a crossing guard so no kids would run between the cars in a McDonald’s? Dude you’re at a McDonald’s you should know to watch for young kids. Seriously this really did happen and I laughed my butt off for years after. still laughing now at the stupidity of this food critic so thank you onion for reminding me of that food critic with this insightful review of this movie.
Still today, I wake up in the middle of the night screaming in cold sweat. My wife tries to cheers me up but nothing, nothing can vanquish the sorrow and nothingless that this fricking puzzle has brought to my life. The movie is cool.
The cruel jokes that fate plays upon us, none more articulately manifest, when great pillars of tenacity like Peter Rosenthal crumble to dust against the ceaseless weathering of strong winds carrying minute grains of sand that chip away piece by piece, until nothing but an hollow husk of frustration and disappointment of a monument to endurance and willpower is left, full of hopeless dejection and a bottomless void, where once a fountain of hope, confidence and light once stood, feeding the fertile soils upon which the tender shoots of future would have sprouted.
I wish more people would take cross media stuff as serious as Peter here, there constantly is an onslaught of good/mediocre/bad cartoons, video games, comics, sex toys, pajamas etc. made of any franchise and no one bats an eye, but as soon as another movie hits cinemas, everybody looses their minds. (I'm not just talking Ghostbusters, but in general. People seem to be fine ignoring 99% of the stuff, until that one new product hits that society has arbitrarily decided is canon even if most people don't like it).
Dude, dude...dude. You are so fucking funny I can't even handle it. Thank you for spreading happiness and laughter to the world that has internet and subscribed to The Onion or maybe people that have friends that share this kinda shit.
I've tried to complete this puzzle as well, I spent every waking moment for 2 months on it. Turns out it wasn't a puzzle at all. Life can become a mystery with a mountain of meth and a few fridge magnets.
This guy can't be a Star Wars fan. He's rambling, he's incoherent, gets angry about the slightest details and can't move on from them, and references obscure things without explanation assuming that you're as deep into Star Wars as he is. Star Wars fans aren't like that.
@@Ignis_Infinitus_Infernus When I woke up this morning you know what I thought? I really need someone to say something dumb to me, then pretend they meant to say it all along. Nothing makes me happier than seeing someone say "It's just a prank bro" whenever they're caught out saying something stupid.
This is so stupid. I came here to give my opinion of Rogue One as it had a reference to the movie. So here is my statement in all honesty. Impressive. Most impressive. I am one with the Force. The Force is with me.
Well, the first third of the puzzle was not bad at all. Also from that point onwards you can easely complete it, like if you had done a very similar puzzle before. Make star wars great again
On a serious note tho Rogue one really did get my faith back into Disney's starwars I thoroughly disliked episode 7 but man I freaking loved Rogue one. Gold leader
Hey Dumbass what even is this comment? XD obviously the review isn't serious however my fucking comment is. There for "on a serious note" means that I'm not joking I wanted to come and laugh about the video and added a comment giving my actual thoughts on it. How is that not clear?
Stand alone, you mean "disposable". What I don't understand is why, despite characters like general grievous, the droid clans, light sabre builders that are sith etc. Why are all the creative empire talent not scientists who can build a Death Star? Why does the Death Star creator need to be a good guy? Why capture the guy with the idea? Why not just capture the idea and use it as your own? There will be no faults with it, no Achilles heal. So did Star killer base get built by another captured good guy scientist? It sickens me that the empire has no scientific talent, that only a good guy held against his will has the idea to use a light sabre as a planet sized weapon. Did the empire not think they could build a planet sized blaster? Instead of a light sabre?
Scott Scott first of all this is the onion. Second of all, it is very common throughout history for fascist type empires to immediately get rid of many of their intellectual scientists and struggle to reconstruct their ideas. Case in point The Nazis, who in all of their antisemitism caused Albert Einstein to flee the country. Robbing them of the man who would go on to be crucial in the creation of the most powerful weapon in human history. It's highly likely the same thing is true in the empire.
The Onion was bought by a wealthy Hillary Clinton supporter and they quickly started pumping out painfully unfunny garbage and making pro-Hillary "jokes". For a while there it was looking like all of the funny people had left.
The way Peter's eyes switch focus from the camera to the script/teleprompter/etc. is slightly weirding me out lol. Maybe it's the intense, slightly wide-eyed and creepy gaze. Sorry the puzzle didn't go well dude. Better luck next time?
All this back and forth, sequel, prequel - is frustrating. But at least they didn't ruin it with a brand new reset button/timeline like they did to Star Trek. Nothing will ever equal the first 3 Star Wars when it comes to chemistry between the main characters and even between the secondary characters. The newer installments don't have that.
To be fair Peter K. Rosenthal, the box clearly stated, "8 Years and Up", and you finished it in only 5 1/2 years.
I'm gonna use that joke one day lol
I couldn't put that damned puzzle together either. But mine had a picture of a tiger on the box and said "frosted flakes". What a ripoff.
bravo!
Quality

That puzzle is so dense. Every piece has so much going on.
It's sorta like poetry. It rhymes.
Greatest comment ever
VERY cool
Seriously though, the plot of that puzzle made no sense!
0mikeisonfire0 this puzzle was just a complete rehash of the original puzzle!
Still had a better love story than 'Twilight.' Well it did, okay! I'm just sayin'.
My favorite thing about Peter's title "Onion Head Film Critic" is the implication that they have multiple film critics at the Onion
Maybe it is meant to read "Onionhead Film Critic".
With Peter does one even need multiple critics? No one else can top Peter.
I mean... He can be the head critic with no other critics. It makes his resume look better.
That Darth Maul hologram puzzle still gives me chills to this day.
Has anyone realised that galaxy went into turmoil once Jar Jar stopped taking care of stuff?
Dude smoked too much weed.
George Lucas did say the JarJar is the key.
@@Dermaa No. Memory is the key
Rats, now I have to go buy that puzzle to see if Peter's review is fair.
contrary to popular opinion, i thought the puzzle was great. even though it was cryptic and hard to understand, the overall visuals soared beyond the boundaries of my imagination. thrilling, exciting, beautiful. 10/10
Personally, I think it was the best Star Wars puzzle since 2011's Empire Strikes Back 550 pc. release.
Fuck you
I love the part when Jyn Erso looks at the camera and says "Trump is stupid"
Deebo Molina yeah definitely worth doing those last minute reshoots.
Deebo Molina u would

at least a "darth vader reads trump quotes" video.
i need to find james earl jones!
Yes, I noticed and admired that part also.
I feel your pain Peter, no man should have too suffer an uncompleted jigsaw (life).
This review isn't a parody. ITS PURE TRUTH! The puzzle is a travesty, and PETER DESERVES AN AWARD HERE!
The clever analogy of the puzzle being The Force Awakens had me in tears! 🤣🤣🤣
This review was very puzzling.
These videos are the reason I still subscribe to The Onion
Do they even make any other videos anymore
I think they were bought out or something and all the writers are now over at Clickhole
I was initially disappointed by premise of this one but then Rosenthal got me in the end. That does look like a frustrating puzzle. XD
I can't believe they did a last minute redesign of the puzzle to say "whiteI supremacy sucks" in large read test across the image of the death star. I was angrily shaking my white hooded robes at the news!
I want a jigsaw mosaic of Peter Rosenthal for Christmas!
the Onion Nevers fails to surprise me with it's film reviews.

this is the only review that counts, lets face it
Still today, I wake up in the middle of the night screaming in cold sweat. My wife tries to cheers me up but nothing, nothing can vanquish the sorrow and nothingless that this fricking puzzle has brought to my life.
The movie is cool.
It's just so funny when at 2:27 he breaks and admits that he just can't complete the puzzle
Wasn't expecting this puzzling experience.
That "God Damn it" at the end sold it!!
He spoke now and still holds his piece.
this guy is a comedy genius. his delivery and timing is just perfect
I'm demanding more Onion news.

You are just a real treat Peter. I am binge watching all your reviews now sir
That holographic puzzle actually seems pretty cool
That last "Goddamnit!" is so good
I've tried to complete this puzzle as well, I spent every waking moment for 2 months on it. Turns out it wasn't a puzzle at all. Life can become a mystery with a mountain of meth and a few fridge magnets.
the next movie then. I hope we get new puzzles and better source material. I swear these people from Hollywood are slacking off these days
The hint to what tool you need in order to solve it is hidden in the name, 'jigsaw puzzle'.
I'm so grateful Peter saved me the time I'd have wasted on this garbage. I'm returning the box unopened! Thanks, Peter! :)
Peter Rosenthal is my spirit animal.
Puzzling ain't it?
The puzzle gets a lot better the second time you piece it together.
I once put together a puzzle of Han Solo. It was very intimate and exciting. I never finished it because Han shot first. Ruined the whole thing.
this review really needs a follow up
We had a copy of this picture. It was missing 6 pieces, had 3 duplicates and 1 piece that does not belong anywhere in the picture. I feel your pain.
i just got that the 2011 puzzle was a reference to the fact the prequel trilogy and og trilogy got blu ray releases that year
i still refuse to watch any star wars movies after that fucking puzzle.
Photo-mosaic puzzles are pretty brutal in general, really.
Just found this on Amazon and the reviews also indicate the frustration of the puzzle pieces.
Great analysis as always, Peter.
Dont even get me started on my 1999 Jar Jar Binks puzzle! I STILL haven't completed the border on that fucking monstrosity.
I hope there is a follow-up for this review. I think he'll finish the puzzle. He's committed.
As someone who suffered through the han solo and chewey mosaic puzzle for several months with my entire office I completely agree with this review.
A classic review that can never be tarnished…
Puzzles come and go. The backstory of the mouse droid on the death star is eternal.
How did it take me so long to note that Jan Urso is Kyle Katarn's pilot?
lmao the ending when he gets pissed!
I want to make a 500 thousand piece puzzle with a blank box. The puzzle ends up spelling Drink Your Ovaltine
One of the only film critics I trust.

I am one with the Force. The Force is with me.
that maul puzzle is cool af
There are alternatives to puzzling.
This review is more entertaining than all of the latter movies in the franchise!

Make star wars great again

Hey Dumbass Delivery man stole the puzzle not my fault >-
I am so gonna enjoy Rogue One when it is released on network television 10 years from now. So please don't show any spoilers.
Only 5 more years to go, now.
Wow, the man has feeling!
2:13 i know this is a comedy video but that darth maul puzzle is fuckin sick
dat shitty kick at 0:06
Before this video I didnt even know those puzzles existed. Now I am going to go out and buy one. Thanks for nothing!
i love this man .just perfect
God Dammint YOU ARE SO GOOD Mr Rosenthal
I got that puzzle done in 13 hours
Change the "puzzle" for Disney sequels. Makes perfect sense.

This guy and will Ferrell should have a movie
LOL - This video makes life worth living again.
I hope one day The Onion will learn how to do comedy
subtle, Peter, very subtle.
I had that Darth Maul puzzle :)
That puzzle ruined my childhood.
Good to see The Onion can still produce funny material!
Too bad nobody is watching anymore because of... well, all that other stuff that happened.

This video actually made me buy that puzzle.
Hahahaha the 100 piece puzzle was done wrong :D!
I laughed so hard I fell off my taun taun
I get it. Star wars puzzle started sucking asses when Disney got the market. Damn im pissed about it too.
If you're actually looking for a good puzzle, avoid a puzzle with large areas all the same color.
In his defence a mosaic puzzle is a terrible idea
I've built one of those puzzles before:(
Peter Rosenthal = ok at speed dating
I feel you Rosenthal
how?? how not more views?? People share ffs this is funny!!!
ok I have to get this puzzle!!!!
