Rogue One: A Star Wars Story - Space & Aerial Battle of Scarif Supercut

I never saw the movie Rogue One, but heard it had a really great space battle set piece. Though much like the Battle of Endor it's broken up throughout the movie. So I made a supercut of the space battle scenes back in 2017 and hey it was well received, then Disney did their thing and yeah, anyway it's back for now. Update: The Appeal was successful and this video will be up for the foreseeable future!

⁠@@dianamon2727there were more than 3 or 4 ships destroyed. During that one scene of Vader on the bridge, you can see that much of the Rebel fleet is still around Raddus’ flagship. It’s safe to say that all of those were destroyed. Additionally, the Rebel starfighter wing took heavy losses, and that’s the most relevant part to Yavin. They lost easily half of all the fighters sent, including the leader of the Rebel starfighter wing (Blue Leader, I can’t remember his name atm.)

You can see the Hammerhead still attched to the Star Destroyer as it crashes into the shield generator. They never got out, went out fighting to the bitter end.

[@mrobocop1666]

I guess this scene is based on several real life episode of small Soviet ships ramming US destroyers and cruisers Like when small patrol boat hammered USS Caron in full speed to force it off Soviet coast, and succeeded, even seriously damaged ships weapons and caused a fire

[@toddkes5890]

The Hammerhead's impact on the Star Destroyer should have been barely noticeable by the Star Destroyer's personnel. A Star Destroyer is ~1600 meters long, a Hammerhead is ~120 meters long, so the Star Destroyer is ~13 times as long. Cubing this means the Star Destroyer is over two thousand times the mass of the Hammerhead. So if the Hammerhead was moving at ~2000 meters per second, the resulting impact will have the Star Destroyer moving at 1 meter/second. The scene should have been the Hammerhead impacting with the Star Destroyer crew hearing a thump and maybe a small jolt (gravity still worked, so inertial dampening likely still worked). But as the Hammerhead is in the notch with its engines at full, the bridge crew sees their ship approaching the other Star Destroyer and realize that something is wrong.

0:42 seeing the OG Gold & Red squadrons made me squeal in the theatre.

This and Andor are the two good things that Disney have contributed. Rogue one was just a good, solid sci fi war movie.

[@justcallmeSheriff]

Wild how Disney produced this absolute banger AND Solo AND Andor, but can't figure out why the sequel trilogy gets criticized so much....

[@alexsolosm]

Because the sequel sucks.

[@luwucian4497]

scenes that filled my eyes with tears, they used unreleased scenes of golden leader 0:42 and 3:08 plus Red Leader 0:45 and 4:07 also this sound is from the X-wings laser at maximum power 2:32, we can hear that luke uses them in a new hope

[@Boomy2nicce]

This movie captured perfectly just how out numbered the rebellion was against the empire. I understand exactly why some of the council were hesitant about a frontal assault on scariff.

[@hiroprotagonist525]

What many don't get about this, beyond the cool effects and the link to ANH, is that shortly after it;s release, Carrie Fisher joined the stars and for those of us who saw her for the first time back in 1977, and once more, in a fashion, in Rogue One, it was a hard nut to take, Dream on Princess.

[@mildlyderanged]

For me what i always loved was the epicness of the space battle scenes (and the battle for Hoth) and no other space series, including the prequel and new film series have ever come close to the drama of the scenes in tje original trilogy. Rogue One achieves it, and its magnificent, this whole sequence, along with the ground battle slaps so damn hard.

[@andrewharris9406]

I hope we get a Bothan Spies movie with the same level of delivery, acting, and production Rogue One gave us

[@stevenhacker1347]

This is one of the most underrated scenes in Rogue One. It is my favorite. The significance and risk here shows the odds are stacked against them and they even the score

[@micahqgecko]

Seeing old republic ship designs was pretty neat

[@ozonius_6859]

i have no clue why but this scene when the rebel fleet arrives feels so more powerful than when the galaxy arrives in rise of skywalker, like this has so much more meaning

[@Bauglir100]

They did a much better job building up to this moment than The Rise of Skywalker did with its own scene.

[@farginbastage805]

I love @2:49 you can see an X-Wing launch photon torpedoes to bring down the Walker.

[@horaciosi]

I've heard that, to create these detailed ships, they build scale models and scan them for the CGI. It looks fantastic, more films should do this.

[@mymovies9172]

This is a Re-upLoad. Thank you

[@PrometheusOfVideos]

Welcome and thank you! Yes, you're correct, this is a re-upload. The original is still on my other channel, "Arrow of Videos," but blocked. While I could easily dispute and reclaim the original video with its 4 million plus views and comments, I made the decision to consolidate all the major Star Wars battles onto this channel for easier access.

[@christiancuadra7836]

I love Rogue One. This whole acene is so reminiscent of the classic trilogy. So much memories 🥲

[@Dissedits000]

This video gave me chills. I LOVE THIS ITS SO AMAZING TO WATCH

[@zeroelus]

Talking about this a few hours ago in another video, sneaky sneaky Prometheus of Video. Great edit!

[@PrometheusOfVideos]

Haha indeed! and thanks! Don't get me wrong, I'll always prefer the Battle of Endor over any space battle, though Scarif ranks up there, but as we discussed, this is pretty much how far they went with the lore when it came to ship stuff...I was hoping for more epic space battles that maybe even the Battle of Endor could be topped, but nope, the Battle of Scarif seemed to be the peak in that area when it came to the Disney era of SW. What I like in this battle and the benefits of CGI is you can have more dynamic camera angles, following the ships as they maneuver and whatnot and plenty more, but you know it's not there... I'll always ALWAYS prefer the old school ILM way of using models and motion controlled cameras. It's the blending of the two that work masterfully in my eyes. Jurassic Park from 1993 is the best example of this with the T-Rex scene, constantly switching from CGI to full sized robot. Still holds up after 30 years!

[@n00btub3r2012]

Love seeing the Ghost sprinkled into a few scenes in the background

[@dlperk5035]

KEEP IT TIGHT AND WATCH OUT FOR THOSE TOWERS

[@thunderboltcougar5626]

That command always puzzle me. The 1st command definitely contradict w/ the 2nd one. You can't evade any of those incoming fire while keeping the formation tight as you'r limitting yourown movement. But still fun tho..

[@jzbass72]

3:13 - 3:24: The panning shots of the handful of Y-Wings moving from right to left countered by the pan of scores of TIEs moving left to right is one of the greatest scenes in SW history. In one elegant and rich visual we get everything we need to know about the ragtag Rebellion and the might of the Empire. Also, the speed and scale of the combat is absolutely breathtaking. "R1" and "Andor" proved that the Mouse is capable of making great Star Wars. It’s a shame they don’t do it with any consistency.

[@kingquba7095]

I remember seeing this scene in theaters I am a huge starwars nut I grew up on this stuff and when I saw that x wing and the rebel fleet coming out of hyperspace I was out of my chair cheering and clapping it was beautiful just pure beautiful I embrassed my wife but I didn't care this was my childhood and I was so happy

[@sherL0ck13]

I just never realized why I love specifically the end of the battle (despite all the obvious reasons). The music. It's not fancy, not triumphant in full blast, not happy, not brave, not proud. Sad. With a little smile of "we actually did it..." Nothing of this is great. They fought hard and lost a lot of people. Yes, the goal was achieved, but the music recognize the cost all these people paid for just one transmission. It just shows how much grounded the vision of the events was put before making this film. And a little of, I'd say, feeling all the heroes as saint, considering what had to be done. And there is Death Star on the horizon...

[@decimated550]

If I understand right, that huge tower on the planet surface is like a gigantic flash drive that stores all the plans for some enemy station. Wow! That's a lot of terabytes gigaflops googles whatever!

[@ashaide]

It's the Imperial Archives. Every single major project of the Empire is there. At least. It probably also contains files on other "areas of interest" And given how the Galaxy Far Far Away and Long Ago isn't really all that digital, I hope the Empire had backups :D

[@BitrateBilly]

@@ashaide considering they were willing to nuke the entire site its likely that they had backups hidden elsewhere

[@buzzfunk]

looking what Disney is now doing - we got lucky with Rogue one. The only modern day SW that matches the brilliance of the OT. Its ending flows seamlessly into a New hope.

[@kevinnazario1015]

The icing on the cake would have been the phoenix squadron a- wings and the b- wing prototype from rebels showing up. Hera is mentioned and the ghost do appears so it was not an outlandish idea.

[@kreigguardsman3355]

At this point I think they would start transitioning to the modern a wing

[@omarbaba9892]

Well no because Phoenix squadron had pretty much been entirely disbanded by this point

[@merafirewing6591]

​@@omarbaba9892 or at a very reduced capacity.

[@MarkhasSteelfort]

Nope, we just need the OG X and Y wings here. Not the so called prototypes pushed by Disney.

[@merafirewing6591]

[@AngelicDeity]

Disney need to study Rogue One

[@davidk6269]

I don't know about you, but I got emotional seeing Red Leader and Gold Leader again. They were such an iconic part of my childhood, that seeing them again brought a tear to my eye. Seeing Red 5 destroyed was also an amazing moment, as it gives background to why the Red 5 call sign was available for Luke in Episode IV. This film did fan service so well--unobtrusive to the story, but emotionally impactful. Well done!!!!

[@ActualDeadMantis]

A moment to reflect on Gold Squadron ionizing the star destroyer and effectively winning the battle. Gold Leader was a true ace, he'd have blown the death star, but, you know, power of the dark side and all that.

[@alexsolosm]

Well, he was up against Vader, and Anakin Skywalker was an ace pilot.
