Admiral Raddus is badass. When Mon Mothma finds out they've gone for the plans, and says she needs to talk to Raddus, that guy tells her that Admiral Raddus has already left, has already unilaterally decided to take the fleet and fight. If Raddus hadn't taken that initiative, the mission would have failed.

You have to watch Andor! It's the prequel series that shows Cassian's story, and gives you a real look at the internal workings of the Empire as well as the beginnings of the Rebellion. It's a slow beginning, but it's not wasted time, in any way. It's all set up and building relationships to get you ready for where it's headed. And just like Rogue One succeeded in being an ACTUAL war movie in the Star Wars universe, Andor is a successful drama series about that struggle.

Andor is one of the best things Disney has done.

[@Cadinho93]

To this day, Rogue One is easily the best Star Wars movie Disney has ever made and the ending with Darth Vader is top-notch. Also, the fun thing about that end is that it leads straight into "A New Hope". That means Darth Vader chased them down from Skariff and when he caught them, Princess Leia was barefaced "what plans?" to his face. The balls on that princess!

[@Rorywizz]

Rogue One and Andor are amazing

[@thomasjones4570]

Saying its the best Disney star wars movie is not saying much because of how bad they all were and the Vader at the end is a slap in the face of older Star Wars fans and Lucas. More machine now than man, all of the old canon made him barely able to move because the suit was so heavy and his robotic limbs...and it undoes the opening of the original movie where the plans location was in question and the accusation was they "intercepted a transmission" of the plans.

[@kroanosm617]

Princess Leia absolutely did understand the blood that was spilt for those plans. The end of this movie is so emotional because yes, the loss of life to get those plans... so incredible. When my girls saw this in the theater, at 14 years of age (twins), they just could not grasp the concept of everyone dying. They were like, what's the point? They were so angry. Now at 21, they understand. I love this movie so much!!!!

[@pandapropsncostumes]

The relationship w Chirrut and Baze is common in Asian culture and many other cultures of "brothers in arms". They grew up and trained and fought together. They both came up as Guardians of the Whills, like monks in a monastery. When the Empire took over the city, killed innocent people and pillaged the kyber crystals, it was like taking the most sacred things in Jedha. Chirrut continued to believe in the force and Guardians, Baze essentially "lost his faith and religion". Chirrut even says "You were once the most devoted guardian of us all!" Baze became embattled and bitter. So at the end when Chirrut says "I am one with the Force, the Force is with me", Baze replies with "The Force IS with we, and I am one with the Force". It's like at the end, he found his faith again and wanted to be with his brother in the afterlife. Symbolisms :)

[@2tone753]

I'm 62 years old and a fan since 1977, and I never thought that a Disney production would save Star Wars. But fortunately this happened, and in Roque One the old spirit that had been so lost in all the last films was rediscovered. Clear structure and plot, somehow he/she didn't stay alive. Dead stays dead. No ridiculous longing look, longing kiss and vow of eternal love that had nothing to do with the film but with audience groups. No cinema for 3 year old's. All beloved characters are wiped out. This is war as it really happens and where there is no fraudulent happy ending. An absolutely successful film with excellent actors.

[@jordanclark4635]

Definitely recommend Andor

[@jacquelinewhite6556]

Totally agree. Same age as you. Same perspective. I saw Rogue One at the cinema 4 times when it came out, because it's so damn good. And my reactions were not very different to the reactions of Hannah, above: lots of watery-eyed moments. Vader's closing scene has to be one of the most bad-arse scenes in all movie history.

[@chloe1-2-3-4-5]

"The rumbling overwhelmed all other sound. Jyn tightened her grip on Cassian, and he found the strength to hold her. The world grew brighter, emerald at first and then a clean, purifying white. In Jyn’s mind, the cave below the broken hatch was illuminated with the strength of a sun, and then the walls turned to dust and there was no longer a cave but only her spirit and heart and everything she had ever been: the daughter of Galen and Lyra and Saw, the angry fighter and the shattered prisoner and the champion and the friend. Soon all those things, too, burned away, and Jyn Erso-finally at peace-became one with the Force." - from the novelization of the movie. Always gets me choked up.

I lost my shit in theaters when Vader showed up at the end. It went from an action-sci-fi war film to a straight up horror movie in the blink of an eye and we finally got Darth Vader at his peak. No mercy, the living embodiment of fear, just a walking god of death and destruction like something out of an H.P. Lovecraft story. Even thought like a minute long, that was EVERYTHING I ever wanted to see from Darth Vader on the big screen. I was in awe and terrified of him at the same time.

12:08 -- This is Mon Mothma. She was one of the Rebel commanders in "New Hope" who planned the attack on the Deathstar. 16:59 -- These are the 2 guys who confront Luke and Obi-Wan in the bar on Tatooine, Obi-Wan cuts off one guy's arm. 37:38 -- Chirrut Imwe (Donnie Yuen) was not a Jedi, but he is a Force Wielder, a spiritual warrior-monk. 49:21 -- You're excited here because you see Vader at his full killing mode, not really featured in the other movies. THIS is why he's the most feared. 51:02 -- That's the disc Leia inserts into R2-D2 and sends him on his mission to find Obi-Wan. Yeah, Rogue One is a great movie! It blows away the Disney Trilogy, in my opinion. This is what the difference is between great writing and "meh..." writing. You guys should give the "Andor" series a watch. It follows Cassian's lead up to joining the Rebel forces.

@@TheSwordOfTheJedi-u2p I mean..in his defense, he didn't say it was Vader's peak. He said it's one of the only times we as the audience get to actually watch him massacre the good guys. Tusken Raider camp was cake, and they weren't "good". Anakin actions were when he was Anakin. Duels don't count. The only other viable option here would be in Kenobi when he caught the ship in mid-air and forced it down (which is still just raw power, not devastating 1-on-group combat where he chops down Rebel defenders with ease). @51:02 obvious to you.

The thing with Saw is that he finally realized just how corrupted and evil he'd become, even though it was in the service of getting rid of the Empire. He had been excommunicated from the main branch of the Rebellion. Even Mon Mothma told him that he wasn't on the right side of things and he let his anger and thirst for revenge take over. And when you see him, there's little difference between him and people like General Grievous or... Darth Vader himself. So, Saw knew that his time was at an end. Seeing Jyn and remembering her father made him understand everything

[@luismedeiros7139]

You better watch "Andor" after this... the best Star Wars TV Show you'll ever be able to see.

[@WattSounds]

Now watch ANDOR - it's a prequel to Rogue One and stars Cassian Andor (the same guy who died for the cause in Rogue One and is his story about how he came to join the Rebellion).... it was created by the same team who did Rogue One and is arguable the best Start Wars TV show created to-date. You will love it... it makes Star Wars feel believable and have soul. (Obi-One, Acolyte feel like cheap kiddy movies which, to be fair, they were probably aiming at a younger more care free audience) - but ANDOR is Star Wars how you wish it would be, with characters and emotion and you feel invested.

30:58 the Sith also use the Force.

That hallway scene is the best thing ever made in Star Wars and it's the reason Darth Vader is such a great villain. And yes, watch the Obi-Wan Kenobi series. It has some really good badass scenes involving Darth Vader as well.

[@andymiller6661]

Vader being incompetent is the best?

If you liked this, you'll love the TV show Andor (Cassian Andor). It's a prequel to this movie and it's brilliant. Gritty, adult Star Wars content.

[@ianrastall]

This is the difference between reaction people. The ones with empathy feel what the characters feel.

[@carlosyamara]

In my opinion this is THE best Star Wars movie, followed by Empire. It has everything, comedy, action, tears, fight scenes that are incredible and the BEST characters and character development. It is a masterpiece.

[@andymiller6661]

Yet still a bad movie.

[@mauropicariello9951]

my humble opinion, this is the best star wars movie ever!!! love you guys, keep it up. 🤟🏽❤️🙏🏼

[@tarroes8797]

Funny thing is, storm troopers don't have bad aim. The only times we really see them really "missing" a lot is in episode 4, when they were deliberately letting the rebels escape the death star, and episode 5, on cloud city, when they are trying to lure Luke into a trap for Vader. Both times they were missing on purpose. Other times we see them actually shooting to kill, such as the opening on episode 4, or the battle of Hoth, they decimate the rebels. They are completely one-sided fights.

[@SyntheticCK]

People will spin anything. It's just a movie trope to avoid killing the main characters in the first 10 minutes of a movie.

[@tarroes8797]

@SyntheticCK it's not a spin. They literally spell it out in the movie

[@SyntheticCK]

@@tarroes8797 Sure sure. And every other time it's just a coincidence. I guess the trash compactor missed on purpose too.

[@mattiasandersson8693]

@@SyntheticCKleia literally says right after they escape the death star, that their escape was to easy, and Han says something like, nah don’t worry about it. Then Lo and behold, the empire actually planted a tracker on the falcon, leading them directly to the rebel base. Hmm, almost as if it was planned. If you wonder how good the stormtroopers actually are, watch the opening of a new hope. Breaching through a chokepoint held by at least 10-15 people zeroed in on the door, absolutely destroying them in seconds, with 2-3 casualties. Thats insane from a tactical perspective. Someone broke down their shot accuracy in that scene, and it came out at like 25-30 % of shots hitting their target. Thats a LOT, btw.

[@tarroes8797]

@@mattiasandersson8693 iirc, it was around 110 shots per kill. Compared to a US soldier where the average was around 200,000 rounds per kill.

[@AlonsoTherion]

I watched this at the movies, I cried so much... definitely, the best Star Wars movie ever, the most realistic, and the one movie that really captured the essence of Vader.

[@hattershouse710]

Rogue One is probably one of the most underrated SW movies of the franchice.

[@dutch90skid70]

That was EXACTLY the way how I sat in the movie theater during that Vader scene. Going all topless, screaming like I've just witnessed the most AWESOME scene in movie history 🤣

[@robinhood5627]

By far the very best star wars movie ever made. Seemlessly blends into a new hope. Shows vader as the badass he is but you never ever see. Packed full fan service which is exactly what the industry SHOULD be doing. If you are not making it for the fans then who are you making it for? This is why all the sterwurs falls on their ass, don't attack the fans.

[@andymiller6661]

Yet still a terrible movie.

[@robinhood5627]

@@andymiller6661 I mean no, but you are valid to have your own opinion. For me it was epic, full of "holy fcuk!" moments and I loved every second of it. MUCH better than the farce awakens saga...

[@andymiller6661]

@robinhood5627 They're all to aware in writing and pacing that we know generally how the movie ends. But instead of dealing with the forgone conclusion that they will steal and deliver the plans no matter what by slowing down and developing the characters, they're violently propelled from action to action with no real actual or natural progression in relationships. Jyn goes from yelling at Cassian to quoting him passionately and Cassian goes from cold blooded killer to organizing a suicide squad for her because he chose not to kill the one person he was specifically ordered to kill, which was her father. And he had good reasons for not killing him, I'm sure Bor gullet was used, despite him making people go crazy, to learn the truth. Yet nothing comes of that truth gathering scene. When the X-Wings attacked Jyn's fathers position, we're told that they can't be called off because they're already committed. Nonsense. No shots were fired yet, and there's apparently instantaneous two way interstellar communications in Star Wars and with that squadron, so there's plenty of time to call them off. Even if there wasn't, there's nothing to prevent one of the X-Wings from hovering over the pad for a few seconds and sweeping the pad clear of enemies while his squad mates covered him. The end battle scenes went from "Cool visuals, I guess," to, "Seriously?" The inclusion of Red and Gold Leaders, obviously limited to what they could cull from cut angles meaning the almost the same exact lines from A New Hope was jarring. Then there's the out of place Mos Eisley jerks somehow being on Jedha, being jerks on Jedha because they have to cram some random cameo in the movie, just for them to leave Jedha immediately after being jerks and going straight to Tattoine, without freaking out over almost being killed by the Death Star. Pretty much everyone died in an explosion immediately after serving their one purpose in the movie, which was to flip a switch. And some of those switches were outside and exposed to the elements for no reason. And the antenna was out of alignment for no reason, and somehow transmitted to everyone yet just the rebel flagship, which had Leia's ship in it for some reason. And let's not forget that C-3PO and R2-D2 were in the Yavin hangar when everyone left yet on Leia's ship when it got boarded not much longer later. Also, the battle scenes was ridiculous. The rebels had the element of surprise, yet they didn't immediately start shooting everything on sight upon exiting lightspeed. There was no general plan and at most minimal coordination. Orders were given sporadically, instead of rapid fire. There was no shooting between the capital ships and minimal firing from the capital ships. There was no bombing or bombardment of the Imperial structure surrounding the shield opening. There were no squadrons of fighters firing volleys of torpedoes, just random fighters almost casually flying about and shooting at the occasional target. There were a total of 3 star destroyers in orbit around Scarif and yet not one deployed any troops to reinforce the surface. Instead, they just let the surface fend for itself and eventually Tarkin destroyed the Empire's own base, despite only some rebels being on the surface and despite the rebels already getting the plans. And fuck the rest of the data stored there, right? That's not important anymore for some reason. Vader's scene at the end was supposed to be orgasmicilly amazing, yet it's a let down and shows him to be incompetent. He dramatically took his time and turned off his life support and almost casually walked down the hall killing fools, instead of being mister badass sith and using the Force to brush everyone to the side and at least trying to Force grab the plans or using the Force to at least try stopping Leia's ship. Then he's standing in the vacuum of space like his suit is rated for that. The opening crawl in A New Hope mentioned spies, yet there weren't really spies. Just some people sneaking into a base. Sure, that could constitute spying, but barely at that. Vader mentioned that the data was beamed to her ship; sure, the satellite dish transmitted the data, but not to her ship. If they're going to have Vader eage against the machine and her ship be attached to the flagship for some reason, have Vader mow down the rebel scum and get the plans, only to have Leias ship leave and the communication officer on the flagship transmit/beam the data to her. That can be arranged since the data was transmitted to the flagship and copied to the case but not necessarily deleted from the ships computer. The one of Leia's officers copies the data to the disc and then deleted the data from the her ships computer. Or better yet, have a spy team on the surface. Then Leia's ship arrives to take on supplies for a "mercy mission" (as vaguely mentioned in A New Hope). The spies bribe a bunch of people (Leia mentioning the price they paid), and beam the data up to her ship. Vader happens to be near, somehow finds out and gives chase, leading to A New Hope

[@robinhood5627]

@@andymiller6661 OOF that's a lot of gripe, and not all correct, but w/e. I mean, they had to fit what they could into the time slot available, what you are describing as rushed seems like 2 or 3 movies worth of development just to kill them off at the end anyway. I think they paced it very well for the time they had to spend on it, esp given the outcome of death. And sure, they might have had instances of pointless plot that didn't get followed up on. But I think a lot of your gripes are wholly unwarranted. You may not have enjoyed it, that's entirely up to you. But I absolutely loved it. And I can only hope they make more like this instead of like the han solo story.

[@andymiller6661]

​@@robinhood5627 Not gripe at all, and 100% correct. It's fine to enjoy it, but the movie is terribly made and pointless as is.

18:01 The "Little Hobbit" is Weeteef Cyubee played by Warwick Davis the same who played the teddy bear like Ewok called Wicket who befriends Princess Leia in the 1983 movie Return of the Jedi when he was 11 years old, and 33 years before Rogue One.

[@tehawfulestface1337]

Some Easter Eggs. The two aliens, balls on the chin and nose. They were both in the first film, A New Hope, where they accosted Luke Skywalker in the cantina. Some of the lead rebel pilots of Red and Gold Squadron were the same pilots who were killed in the attack in the Death Star trench in A New Hope, using unused footage from the first film, and the sacrifice of Rogue One mentioned in the opening prologue.

[@leahmarie112]

Every Rogue One first time watcher has a moment of realization that no one is going to survive this movie. And it’s tough but I respect the writers a lot for committing to a darker movie.

[@stevesaturnation]

Ash, out of all the reaction channels I’ve seen both you and Hannah are by far the most entertaining. I think as a team you two are really good at this. While I’m here I must say watching Hannah watch Human Centipede was something special. Also watching Hannah, excuse me, “Yoda” tell Chewy that the force was strong in him cracked me up wonderfully. Like I said Very Entertaining, i love the extra effort you put in to your videos with the cosplay stuff. I can’t wait for the next one from you two on both of your channels. These are the perfect accompaniment for later in the evening when I like to have a toke, make a late night snack and watch something like No-neck Hannah struggle through a movie as you laugh your a$$ off through it all. Very fun, thank you 😆🍉✊

[@Paul5013S]

I recommend Andor, the prequel show to this prequel movie, as well. Its first and so far only season is probably the best written and acted piece of Star Wars media. It is structured in multiple story arcs, so its watched best in 3-4 episodes at a time. Season 2 will release next year.
