I had 1-2 Cassie reactions where I did not see the movie first and simply watched for watch along style and some laughs and such a comment would have impacted the experience big-time :D

The Vader hallway scene is one of the five best scenes in the entire series, I think. Its magnificent. Because it shows how terrifying Vader is from the perspective of an "ordinary" rebel soldier. And it makes those soldiers, who are usually just background canon fodder, matter. Because they are the ones on whose' sacrifice everything ultimately depends. The build up and the scene itself are just brilliant.

Peter Cushing (Tarkin) had died before Rogue One was made. The recreation of Moff Tarkin through digital imaging was one of the most ambitious attempts at lifelike CGI undertaken. While Carrie Fisher was still alive for the filming of Rogue One she was obviously significantly older than she was in 1976. Fisher got to see herself in her cameo role and reportedly was quite happy with the result.

A subtle thing that is great about this movie is they stuck with the '70's aesthetic of the original Star Wars. I'm especially thinking about the Rebel council leader, she looked liked she was plucked from the original set. The Rebel general and Jimmy Smits' character were also great in this regard. The Death Star director in his white suite looked like it was pulled out of the 1970's wardrobe closet for Star Wars - instead of trying to oversell the costumes with newer versions.

@Yo Momma I’m not talking about it in terms of the _movie._ I’m talking about it in terms of the Extended Universe and the *STORY* Yes, in the movie, things go bang when they need to go bang because plot. But in the deeper context of probably one of the greatest Sci-Fi stories ever written, Rogue One wasn’t an arbitrary addition. When George Lucas wrote ANH, he put in the Deathstar plans in for a reason, he had a reason to put so much importance on getting the plans to the Rebels. If it was as simple as “just shoot it and it’ll blow up” then the _entirety_ of ANH would be useless! If it wasn’t for the plans, the audience wouldn’t see Leia and Darth Vader on board the Blockade Runner and establish the dynamic of the Galactic Empire against a rebellion. If it wasn’t for the plans, Luke wouldn’t take the Droids to Obi Wan. If it wasn’t for the plans, The Empire wouldn’t torch Owen and Beru in the homestead, forcing Luke to go with Obi Wan. It’s exactly how SW works. It’s exactly how good storytelling works!

@@realburglazofficial2613 calm down, Rogue One is a Disney revisionist's take on Episode IV. In the OT, specially in A New Hope and in Return Of The Jedi, and in the LucasArts video games it is explained clearly the Empire and the Emperor were overconfident, arrogants, and love to build quickly and in massive quantities. An example were the Tie Fighters built with zero defences except maneuverability and with the sole purpose of swarming the enemy. Both Death Stars were built in similar fashion like the Tie Fighters, quick construction, defects, and security concerns, but the Empire and the Emperor's aim was on fast deployment and explosive offensive. This explanation is old like hell and it was Disney who came to make a revision on it as if it were an engineered design sabotage to be exploited later, a bad take since this revision nullifies the errors of the Empire's top ranks and the Emperor himself as the cause of the Death Stars weaknesses.

@Yo Momma Agreed. The whole "Guess what, everyone -- the Death Star's exhaust port was *always* an intended target for the Rebels!" plot point is by far the worst aspect of this movie for me, as it somewhat undercuts Luke's achievement in ANH. Then again, Di$ney has done nothing but undercut the first 6 movies since taking over the IP. While this is still the best movie they've released so far, I still have no desire to ever see it again, either.

Out of all of these decisions, missing the premiere of Rogue One is my only regret, and damn do I regret it. The opening night of a Star Wars film used to be a magical experience, and Rogue One's magic is the ONLY one I missed. I hate that. Thanks to half the original actors dying, all other characters being killed off, and...well, Disney being Disney, Star Wars will never be the same again. Rogue One was the last chance for the magic before everything changed, and I blew it. :(

It's just a throwaway film to bridge ST films - people think Solo performed badly because of all the bad PR, IMHO it performed crap because they killed everyone in Rogue One. It's called bad faith film making - if people wanted that they wouldn't have gone to see a Star Wars film in the first place.

You can even see it as the production of the film went on before the release date. The first teaser trailer that showed him hitting a stormtrooper, you can see his character is not blind. But when the official story trailer was released much later, his character was then made to be blind. 10:56 Even better and funnier because he also improvised the "Are you kidding me?

I think Rogue One is my favorite Star Wars movie. Thrilling from beginning to end. It was, essentially, The Dirty Dozen (1967), or Where Eagles Dare (1968) - a kind of WWII espionage film, but with a Star Wars veneer. Funny story - I used to work in a data facility as a tape librarian, and we had six of what were called "silos" that held data tapes and featured robotic arms that would take, sort, enter, remove, and eject data tapes so the librarians could place them back in their specific library. When I first saw this in theaters I grinned from ear to ear when I realized the climax took place inside a gigantic data tape silo! It was awesome!

34:31 I don’t think anyone is mad that you like this one. This is one of my favorites as well and it is a fan favorite because it ties in and respects the first 6 films so well. The controversial ones are 7, 8, and 9 (mainly just 8 and 9) 😬.

8 is controversial (personally I like more about it than I dislike), but I have yet to meet someone who isn't at least somewhat disappointed in 9. I really don't get why they wouldn't plan out the big plot points of the trilogy before, it would have solved most of its problems.

Cassie, my husband and I treated ourselves to this movie when it was in theaters, and he had to guide me to the car and drive home afterwards because I was balling my eyes out saying, "They never even kissed! I fell in love with all of the new characters and they all died! Waaaaaaaahhhh!" So I understand how you feel, and I was crying again, but it was with you, so it wasn't so bad this time. ❤️

Rogue One is such an amazing movie! It has some incredible shots! Some of them include the shot of the Death Star in the distance, the shot of the Star Destroyers colliding, and the aerial shot from space of the planet being destroyed immediately after Jyn and Cassian die. Rogue one can also be considered a standalone Star Wars film that simply connects to the original trilogy. Nonetheless, they did an amazing job. A great story of courage and sacrifice.

Rogue One really puts the “war” in Star Wars. And gives us the first truly terrifying display of Darth Vader, in his life support armor. It’s also the first Star Wars movie to present the Rebellion in grey shading, rather than as the endlessly idealistic dreamers that they are in the original trilogy. For wars to be fought choices must be made that in better world ought not. When Cassian killed the informer, he did so because he knew he couldn’t get them both out, due to the man’s lame arm. Moreover, the depiction of Saw Guerrera as a terrorist terrorizing the terror that was the Galactic Empire, rings true. As did the wrong but seemingly reasonable decision to assassinate Galen Urso, the Death Star’s maker. Oh and of course the instances of defying orders. You did well my Canadian friend. You did well in your reaction. Rogue One is in my top three list for best Star Wars films! 1. The Empire Strikes Back 2. Revenge Of The Sith 3. Rogue One

Yeah no it doesnt. It should have though. The first half of the movie should have been left out and it should have started with them going behind enemy lines, getting in and out of situations to allow them to actually form a bond. This was basically Saving Private Ryan if half of it was about Ryan before the war doing chores on the farm and then without the intense battles, or characters you can form a bond with.

I mean ... Maybe? Sure. I kinda like that there are real stakes and virtually no space magic bullshit, and a good amount of grey morality - it really does feel like the movie was made for people who watched the OT as kids, but had kind've grown out of the, uh, childishness of SW even before the PT. I'm not saying it was very deep or anything - it was just a solid, well-structured film with good taste, great performances, and excellent production values. It's kinda heretical to say what you said though (I'M NOT WITH THIS GUY - MOVE ALONG NOW).

And this is what war is like--and why one must only start a war for the most grave, most important of reasons. Like overthrowing Palpatine. And doing what must be done is heart-rending. After this came out, a very little girl attended ComiCon dressed up as Jin Urso. She had a whole fistful of disks like the ones in this movie at the end--and she went through the convention looking for folks dressed up as Princess Leia, giving them The Plans.

I realized as it was happening that none of these characters survive into the later movies, or we would have seen them like the Red and Gold Leader Easter Eggs. The fact that so many great characters NEVER show up again, and the fact that it was the way this movie NEEDED to end, told me that none of the principle characters would survive this battle or this movie. Sadly, I was right.

The magnificent way it tied into Episode IV always makes me want to rewatch the first trilogy. I love watching your reactions.
