The Shore Troopers have one of the nicest and coolest armor, the coolest thing is to see their ranks by seeing the colors of the armor. Sergeants were identified with a red armlet on the left arm and a white and black band on the left paldron. And the leading Squadron Sergeants had a blue sash above their breastplates on the pads and a bed attached to their bells. Already the captain wore the paint on the breastplate, going down to the left armband with a yellow color to the glove. And not to mention its double-barreled E-22 blaster.

I really loved all of the aesthetics in Rogue One, it perfectly, PERFECTLY, captured the feeling of the Original Trilogy and Star Wars itself. Everytime I get a chance to appreciate it I always get that feeling that it should be my favorite Star Wars movie but I can never bring myself to put it above all the rest because I know others are better but rogue one just hits different for me, and not a bad different. It’s near perfection. The only thing holding it back is the kinda slow first act but by the time that the third act begins I am immediately fully invested.

5:28 the energy is due to bing hit by an ion heavy rifle. Lore wise the AT-ACT or cargo AT-AT are equipped with many stabilizers and repulsers at the joints which help them stand. These walkers are 1.5 times bigger and with cargo can be serval times heavier than a normal at-at. That’s why they are using an ion rifle to disable the stability tech which caused them to collapse the AT-ACT over its own weight.

Rogue one was a very experimental Star wars movie, and a lot of what it pulled off was great in my opinion. However I am glad Vader wasn’t on the Scarif beach because that would’ve been overkill, and instead we were given a far better scene showing the desperation of the Rebels just barely escaping the wrath of Vader. I do have too agree with the fact Episode 9 could’ve taken things slower, it was good in my opinion, but had it been given a longer run time, perhaps some scenes could’ve been done better than they were.

I'd never noticed the armour breaking apart, but it's such a nice touch that I don't htink I'll ever be able to un-see it. Battle of Scarif was such a well done fight. Everything felt so impactful, and after they killed off their first MC you realise just how much they're willing to do that, and you get even more rooted to the scene knowing there are actual stakes. Even seeing Chirrut and Baze's scene is probably one of my favourites, because you get this sense of "Oh, he'll survive!?" which gets taken away, and a fitting scene of revenge immediately afterwards.

It didn't get taken out, that Star Destroyer was only temporarily disabled

6:20 That's the TIE/sk x1 (sometimes called the TIE Striker) It's an atmospheric version of the standard TIE. Its solar panels are shaped like that to be more aerodynamic, provide lift like a wing, and probably to face the sun above since it'll be in atmosphere

[@heintz256]

I honestly never understand what the solar panels powered, did they power the guns or something since, at least in the novel Death Star they describe a tie being destroyed in a training session by its fuel cables rupturing, so if it's powered by conventional fuel, what are the panels for?

[@nicholaspratt8473]

​@@heintz256 backup. Considering until the Risoe of Skywalker they ever mentioned (non-Hyperspace) fuel it doesn't really make sense. Since nothing except the Millennium Falcon ever has breakdowns it doesn't make as much sense, but aircraft and spaecraft IRL live by redundancy. It's a backup in-case you're out so long that you run out of fuel (imagine trying to get to another system after getting lost since you have no hyperdrive), the main engines break down, and since it's a TIE (Twin Ion Engine) it might be charging ions in a fuel capsule using sunlight to refill it making it more than just redundant. That last is what I would like to believe. I'd prefer to go without the panels, but it would look weird as just a ball. If you really needed the wing equipment you could fit it into that extension that the thiCCer TIEs have. (Vader's TIE Advanced)

@@nicholaspratt8473 if you get lost in a tie fighter in a system, considering how massive space is and the distance between planets and star systems, you’re better off either sending out any sort of distress signal or just offing yourself as ties have no hyperdrive nor additional life support.

[@katsarelas1947]

The blue lights on the walker are from the ionized (blue) blaster burning out the electronics in the legs, which is what causes them to collapse. The TIE Striker probably wasn’t used much more because (I mean, it wasn’t in the other movies, really) it’s atmosphere only and I suppose there’s no point having them anywhere but a ground base since they can’t really be deployed by a Star Destroyer. Oh yea, the Death Troopers (depending on sources) have either a voice scrambler that their helmets translate so nobody can overhear (I mean just using headphones would probably work too but ok) or they have their own “secret language” they use not to be understood by others. Alderrans’ destruction was on full power, the Death Star didn’t actually destroy scariff, on its lowest setting the Death Star basically just dropped a MASSIVE nuke, probably the same power setting the 2nd one was using to snipe rebel ships during the battle of Endor I uh, I think I caught most the lore questions?

[@katsarelas1947]

There’s actually a big explanation in one of the source books that says something along the lines of “ATAT variants have some kinda anti-grav things in their legs because the legs are actually not strong enough to hold its full weight” (which…begs some design questions…) and the tall variant on Scarif didn’t have proper defense against ionized shots disabling the ones in their legs, but the ATAT’s on Hoth were shorter, and had the proper armoring in that area, so it didn’t work there.

[@KaikeCGR]

@@danilapolesciuk4316 you are not getting the poin in here, the in the trailer it's a AT-AT paw that kills that guy, not a blaster

[@theironrangeryt9850]

The reason Alderaan's destruction was so much faster was because they used more power. That is also why the explosion was so much bigger.

Re: Baze blowing apart Death Trooper armor; pretty sure his gun is the equivalent to hip-firing an M2 Browning.

[@thelegoporgd5466]

Could you do something from republic commando? I don’t know if they have many massive battles as I haven’t played it but I think it’ll be a good idea!!!

[@order6637]

5:35 these are ion shots !!!! It's not a shield... Their purpose is to destroy heavy armour of ships , walkers... Also Slave 1 got ion turrets to slow down enemy ships !!!!

[@beatmoviestv9306]

3:16 that bonk sound 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@tiesdijkmans]

The only complaint about the battle is how the blind guy died, there's so many ways that could have been avoided. Kind of sad such a cool character went out in such a stupid way

[@tiesdijkmans]

@@cornbread_face22 he blew up, could have been a more honored death or even not a survival

[@tiesdijkmans]

@@cornbread_face22 yeah I guess, but I feel like if he can snipe tie fighters and just walk through a field full of shots being fired becaude of the force then he would have seen the explosion coming right?

[@mouser7436]

When you do a vid on the battle of endor remember this comment

[@rblanc0095]

i got it screenshotted bro don't worry

[@shadowwriter329]

6:17 “what is that?” That is the Tie Reaper. A part of the Tie Fighter series of ships that specialize in dog fights in the atmosphere of a planet. Built for speed and firepower.

[@MonkeyJedi99]

It felt like Scarif was both the site of the Empire's backup server (Like Iron Mountain in real-world data storage) and the dumping ground of ships, armor and weapons that didn't get the Tarkin stamp of approval.

[@christopherhanton6611]

The TIE/sk x1 experimental air superiority fighter, also known as the TIE/sk atmospheric fighter or simply the TIE striker, was a streamlined variant of the TIE line starfighters used by the Galactic Empire, most notably during the Battle of Scarif. Specialized for in-atmosphere missions

Hello there

[@Jacob37]

General Kenobi

[@HuzzaLoux]

You are a bold one

[@OR56]

That weird fighter is a TIE Striker, and it was designed for in atmosphere flight, that’s why we don’t see it much, there was never any in atmosphere battles

[@YuriDyatlovYD]

I have been waiting for this!!! Another video to add to my collection! Yeeee

[@Shakespielberg]

Hey Michael Jae, great work here! You should investigate that epic Vader hallway scene at the end. It was _Not_ in the original script; it was a last minute decision before they wrapped the filming!! I read that once they got the OK for the idea (from head producers), they only had 4 days to film (& edit?) the whole segment. And of course it put a massive bow on this gift of a movie. (And since you asked: I watch Rogue One annually as part of my 'Best SW films emotional therapy treatment'.)

[@idontknowwhatimdoing-gu3ny]

9:03 michael: oh that guy survived he was the only one that survived a hit me: what about k2 and finn

[@snokespraetorianguard]

5:36 MetaNerdz video about the AT-ACT explains well about why the leg reacted like that to the ion blasts

[@zunsen3991]

Fun Fact: Majority of the people who fought in this war ended up surviving when the Death Star hit the shore

[@Kilthan2050]

The bit where bodhi gets the cable caught on some random thing was the most relatable part of Star Wars. We have all been there at some point in life.

[@shadowwriter329]

I can’t wait for when you do the Fleet Battle scene of this movie. I didn’t get to watch this in theaters but I love the fleet battle. When the Rebels come out of hyperspace and you hear the Rebel theme blaring, you are pumping you fist shouting “Oh yeah boy! Let’s go!”

[@pancakeman1678]

You called Corporal Pao a space monkey at first even though he’s grey, face structure isn’t even similar, he’s an amphibian, and doesn’t sound like one either. You were thinking of Bistan who was the U-wing gunner

[@renierxian1721]

5:06 anakin should like sand hes ganna arrive at any moment

[@ThatShadyPine]

its so cool to show that the empire was only testing the death star. the blast was so small in comparisson to alderan because they were just testing the strength of the lazer and would end up adjusting it for the destruction of alderan

[@H1ydra]

9:18 vader would have died on scarif if he stayed there for long and that would be a very interesting topic to dive in

[@Diamond-vy1lx]

The Death Star shooting of Scarif is just what I've always imagined orbital bombardment to look like, loved it so much

[@cerving20]

I believe the scene with the U-wing vs ATAT was using an ion turret or something similar.

[@thepurpleapple]

Yeah, the walkers are AT-ACT basically armed cargo carrying AT-ATs, so not as well armoured and the gun was some kind of heavy ion repeater which I read somewhere destroyed a sort of repulsor style hyrdolic in the leg, though don't quote me on the last bit!

[@mr._.mav792]

Because you either weren't aware or forgot to mention it, when the beam from the death star goes through and vaporizes that tower, that's when Director Krennic dies. He was in that tower, wounded, but alive from his confrontation with Cassian and Jyn. He was presumably also vaporized instantly by the beam.

[@randomtheorist251]

I love how that one guy at 3:48 shouts "FALL BACK!!!" and absolutely no one listens.

[@trixiet3674]

How had I not found your channel before right now??!! Loving this. ❤️

[@ealing75]

the reason Scarifs explosion was shorter was because the planet wasn't destroyed

[@stuartholden6163]

Some of the rebels weapons are clearly assembled from AR-15 uppers. You can even see the bolt release.

[@rasputin3084]

That Tie design is Called the TIE striker, meant to be used in atmosphere. I believe it was an experimental fighter, that’s why it wasn’t user as much. The in atmosphere idea behind it definently helped in the battle against the X wings

[@agent00slender42]

Michael sees someone die: Wow that was a good flip!😂

[@ronin3381]

8:52 That’s the point, sergeant.
