[@Phylonyous]

And no “Shuudups”… I’m upset! Jk!!!

[@johnwilliamson2207]

It cannot be understated how outrageously freaking epic it was to see Vader unleashed like that! To fans going all the way back to 1977 we had to wait 40 years to see Vader like that. In the past he always held back, either because he still felt some semblance of emotion for Obi-wan or because he could not bring himself to kill his son. But here? These men meant nothing to him and he went in furious! Lord Vader in ALL of his menacing glory!

[@tacobellalugosi2527]

Don’t forget we also had to wait along time for something else emotional to happen that we didn’t get to see in the movies and that happened on a series

[@KShepardN7]

When I was watching this and got to the end with Vader slicing and force holding his way through the ship, it reminded me of the Luke scene in The Mandalorian. They both had the same energy, just different sides of the force! Both scenes are so freaking cool!! lol

[@I_AM_BAYTOR]

The only other time we see Vader go hard like that is in the comics. And comic Vader still makes every movie Vader look like a pansy, even with this scene.

[@mattbryan3657]

theres a very similar scene in one of the new canon books were vader goes beyond beast mode too @@I_AM_BAYTOR

[@SurvivorBri]

​@@KShepardN7you mean, the Luke rescue scene reminded you of Vader in Rogue One. This movie came out several years before The Mandalorian.

[@gobabygirlzen]

I love this darker side of SW. War isn’t just heroes and bullets magically missing the good guys. It’s people who chose to sacrifice their lives and their souls for others to march ahead and win.

[@Capn_Mal]

That Vader scene is absolutely unmatched. No scene in any other Star Wars movie tops it for me. It's just unreal how raw his power is in that moment.

[@deiwi]

Cassian's "I've been in this fight since I was *six* years old. You're not the only one who lost everything." cuts really deep after the Andor TV show. He's by far the most interesting character of the Disney era SW.

[@LA_HA]

deiwi: For me, this movie's best aspect is how it shows the bleak, dirty, and heartbreaking grit of War. It's Never black and white, right and wrong because we witness bad people on the side of the rebellion, and good people on the side of the Empire. They all have their stories and reasons, with differing measures of validity than shown in previous Star Wars movies. It's not more war-like than the other Star Wars movies. Just more realistic because it shows the grunts, the people who get swept into things they don't survive, who are nameless to most fans. And that's how it is in real life. It's a sad movie... Except for the end when Vader turns this space opera epic into a horror film

[@haroldlipschitz9301]

I saw this 4x in the theater. Everytime Vader appeared in the hall, everything got silent and you could hear a pin drop, then we erupted in cheers when the lightsaber engaged. What's EVEN MORE DOPE is he's deflecting blaster shots, throwing people around the room, seizing blasters, AND THE WHOLE TIME he's also using the force to keep the exit door from opening!! Vader is such a badass mofo he's MULTITASKING his force projection. Just pure power!

[@michaelhoward142]

But why did he leave it open just enough for the plans to be handed off? Was he just a tiny bit short of Force energy to close it all the way? Or did he do it to give the rebel troops a sliver of hope that he could smash? 😉

[@joshuabecker6799]

He allowed the plans to go for plot, Vader is the embodiment of wrath

This is one of the best star wars movies they should have had the people that made this do more movies. The cinematography just seems way better and it feels a lot more realistic and gritty story. The cgi people do look odd but the rest was superb.

The Vader scene alone makes this easily the best post-Lucas film & perhaps even among my top Star Wars movies.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

Yeah, I’d put the original trilogy, this film & Andor as my favorite Star Wars. It’s also about the only SW I’ll watch, since I really don’t like anything else (though Solo isn’t completely awful).

[@S_047]

Hallway scene. Everything Vader is and was in the lore. Cheeky fella was holding the door shut to maximize his entrance

[@GenAries11]

I still remember watching this in the theaters and when Vader went unleashed in that hallway scene, you felt the power. I was afraid and excited at the same time, never have I felt such emotion from a movie before. This was the Vader we all waited to see.

[@BigHeroBaymax]

This movie puts into perspective how serious Mon Mothma was when she said many bothans died to get those plans.

[@denestasinalis]

That was about getting information on the second Death Star. I know a lot of people got that mixed up though. So an easy mistake to make.

[@BigHeroBaymax]

@@denestasinalis Thank you for the information. I didn't realize that.

I just wanted to take the time to congratulate you guys on 50K subs. Before I even get into watching the reaction itself. I also wanted to say thank you; I can't begin to say how much this channel has cheered me up, brought me to tears, and even given me some life lessons... I said what I said. Much love from me and my co-pilot, Poppy (my chocolate and tan Dachshund) and I'm sure from all of us lucky folks who get to be entertained by J, Blank, the co-pilots, etc. All the best in everything you do, for yourselves and yours.

[@dubbleplusgood]

The TV series, Andor, is highly recommended, especially if Rogue One hit you in the feels. It's 12 episodes and you should probably do them in bunches of 3. Stunningly good show I know you'll enjoy.

[@MissHussey84]

Agreed. Just finished the series. So compelling. Diego Luna is incredible along with an ensemble full of some of the best actors in the business.

[@nataliewisco8297]

So...I've been very tough on these Star Wars films. But THIS one is actually pretty darn good, despite the deep fake parts.

[@GeoffNelson]

The last serviceable Star Wars film

[@festeradams8289]

Yeah, the cgi guy is Grand Moff Tarkin. He was the commander of the first Death Star. He was played by Peter Cushing. He died in 1994.

[@NOxSPLOOSHxPLANE]

this was a great way to discover how they stole the plans

[@Dionysus026]

Watched this in the cinema and when Vader made his entrance like that, half the audience stood up and cheered. When he started to cut his way through that lot, everyone went apeshit, jumpin’ up and over chairs, almost a frickin’ riot. Never before had I seen that many women with a popcorn bucket on their lap, looking in amazed confusion at their partners.

[@mikemelfa]

The one character you were questioning in the film was in fact CGI. Peter Cushing played Grand Moff Tarkin in “A New Hope”. He is killed on the Death Star, when it is shot by Luke using the intel gained here in “Rogue One”. The actor (Peter Cushing) died in 1994, so they had to resort to using CGI to bring his integral character back to the screen. Likewise they used CGI to de-age Leia for the final closing scene. Their images are a little clunky looking, but they serve the plot well. Love this flick!

[@Fluer-de-Lis]

[@Density13]

SOOO glad you decided to react to this, in my opinion this is one of the last really good Star Wars movies that came out, the new trilogy wasn't bad but it wasn't great. Also, to explain the difference between Clone and Storm Troopers. - Clone Troopers were introduced in the prequel trilogy of Star Wars (Episodes I-III where Anakin turns to the dark side) and are genetic copies of the bounty hunter Jango Fett who was killed my Mace Windu. A good way to tell them apart is that Clone Troopers wore white armor WITH colors and markings to denote their units and ranks. - Storm Troopers are introduced in the original Star Wars trilogy (Episodes IV-VI), which takes place after the prequels (where we meet Luke, Han and Leia. Stormtroopers wear all white armor similar in design to the Clone Troopers, but with minor differences. As for the whereabouts of Clone Troopers, they either 1. Joined the Storm Troopers after the Clone Wars 2. Went into hiding or 3. Simply retired. Hope this helps!

[@3DJapan]

I walked out of the theater thinking of how different this felt, like I just watched Platoon but in Star Wars.

[@Wildcat_Media]

Your reaction to Vader at the end is pretty much what my reaction was when I saw this in the theater. Ultimate badass villain that everyone was scared shitless of in the original trilogy. This is why I love watching your channel - you *get* it! This is by far the best Star Wars movie made under Disney. If they could have kept the energy and love for the franchise that they had in Rogue One - it would have been something special.

[@Nickydafish]

One of things that made this movie so great to me was that it showed the story of the grunts of the rebel alliance and how important they all were.

[@Solar_sigma_]

The whole time I was waiting for the Vader reaction. J, you did not disappoint. May the force be with you brother.

[@rickyyt7305]

I don’t know how you do it but you are such a blast to watch movies with. This is a great one! Andor the show has a lot of the same themes and feels like grown up Star Wars. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@EChacon]

Since you loved Andor, you got to see ANDOR to learn more about Cassian Andor’s background before the events of Rogue One. It also was renewed for a second season. Also the director for Rogue One, Gareth Edwards also did _Godzilla (2016)_ and _The Creator_

[@esraeloh8681]

It was beautiful, it really was, I'm actually so glad you took the time to say that on here in the youtube edit. Hahaha "The happieest song playing in his muthafuckin head"

[@DanielKjeldal]

I love this film. It's such a dramatic shift from other Star Wars films, a hopeful tragedy if you will. It also dares to show the truth of rebellions, that they are never pure and clean. There is always human tragedy and evil deeds done in the name of good. It all depends on how desperate the fight is, and being a member of a small force of rebels fighting a massive galaxy spanning empire with potentially quadrillions of people would make anyone feel a little bit desperate. It also manages to do something no other Star Wars film has ever dared to do, kill the main characters. They all do the noble sacrifice in the end, and by said sacrifice, they ultimately save the galaxy.

[@technofilejr3401]

Andor is one heck of a Star Wars show.

[@xenoalways1474]

Hey Jay, a T-15 is a reference to A New Hope. That was the model of landspeeder that Luke had, that he had to sell with Obi-wan, to give as payment to Han to get off of Tatooine. Luke said, something to effect the effect of a new model being designed like an iPhone, the "T-15 is no longer in demand." Cuz, he didn't get as much money as he could have before, for a trade in or whatever 👍😁

this is the 2nd best Star Wars movie after Empire Strikes Back of course, A New Hope is awesome but Empire got grit and high stakes, betrayal and Han and Leias love story!

[@dcmitchell8008]

The old guy that "looks so weird" is Grand Moff Tarkin (played by Perter Cushing). He looks weird because he is CGI. He was in the original Star Wars and died in 1994. Since this is a prequel to the original story (which leads directly into where the beginning of Star Wars: A New Hope begins) Grand Moff Tarkin's role was important in this film, and they used CGI to include him. They (obviously) did the same with Princess Leia's character at the end.

[@donny-ni2zd]

I find it funny they CG Peter Cushing back from the dead for this flick. Turns out the main vampire killer of the 70s was the undead the whole time. He was just off'n the competition I guess.

[@athens_1psvr31]

The Vader hallway scene is what made this movie. That plus Donnie, K2, and some battle scenes. I still felt more coming out of Ep. 7 as a movie.

[@Sandlund93]

Episode 7 is actually quite decent. But it's too much of a homage to Episode 4 imo. I see why they did it but there was no need to tell the same story twice. I could accept that, as long as they upped their game for 8 and 9. The problem is that they did the opposite, first with 8 and then 9 trying to correct the blunders in 8, making both of them a complete mess. It's sloppy at best. My only criticism for 7 is that Disney completely disrespected the Force in it, which they kinda did in all three movies tbh. That's why both Rey and Finn are way too proficient with a lightsaber. They both should have sliced off their own limbs by mistake in seconds, considering the situations they were in. If we compare with Luke and Anakin they had 3 and 10 years of practice respectively before their first duels, including being mentored by another Jedi. And they both lost their first duels. I know there is a bunch of stuff inbetween movies that are covered in books and comics and whatnot but I don't even know if that is canon anymore. Ohh well.

[@Raven5150]

Peter Cushing been dead for decades he wasn't available for the shoots, but I saw this opening night shortly after Carey Fisher died, and when that reveal happend the theater exploded and I'm not kidding it got a standing ovation

[@Mark-hf7ry]

We could make a drinking game out of the amount of times you say stfu during the entire reaction 😂

[@Imylover]

To make that Vader corridor scene even crazier is the FACT that it almost never happened! It was just a few months for the film to come out & a camera man, yes, comes up with this idea of a scene! It was never in the script! This camera dude felt that they should have Vader going full beast mode to wrap up the film & just because "why the hell not!?" This moment was a last minute idea out of the blue from a person without any creative control what so ever & is now regarded among the top best scenes in all of SW! And we came so close to never even having it.

[@travisepsteen3234]

I remember seeing this in theaters and when I heard the breathing and saw that red saber ignite I got chills and screamed! You should really watch the Obi-Wan series.

[@patbau96]

The "T-15s are obsolete" chitchat was a reference to the stormtroopers in A New Hope who were chatting about the new T-16s when Obi-Wan distracted them so he could disable the Death Star's tractor beam. And yeah Grand Moff Tarkin was CGI because Peter Cushing is dead. I for one didn't need to see their uncanny Frankensteined version of him in this movie. The 2 seconds of CGI Carrie Fisher at the end were weird enough.

Something that I loved about this movie, which is something you kind of caught onto as well, was this isn’t a movie about Jedi. There is no superhero.
