Rogue One is my favorite of the Disney Star Wars films. Anybody else think Gareth Edwards should have directed Episode IX over Abrams?
I think it would’ve been a disaster sadly considering what a mess rogue one was before gilroy stepped in.
They only pick directors who help extend "the message"
The story for Rouge One was kind of Meh but, I really enjoyed the art style and direction.
JJ Abrams lost alot of credibility when sequals came out.
Totally agree Edwards managed to keep the same tone as the original films
You gotta give it to Edwards and Gilroy to work hand in hand to deliver the best picture possible. I love that egos were put aside for the sucess of the movie. It shows.
Ya it’s pretty rare and nice to see for once
I think more a case of "we both want our pay cheques, thanks". 😏
I think Gareth put aside his ego and has continued to do so to this day, even when repeatedly pressed on it during Creator interviews. Gilroy however takes every opportunity to twist the knife, and definitely tries to claim it as his movie.
The movie much like the other Disney films breaks all writing rules. It was literally two movies crammed together and allowed no actual audience connection to anyone but the main character. A major mistake for a movie about a team of people going into battle. The entire first half should have been removed and the second half, behind the enemy lines should have been the film, while using flashbacks to fill in the backstory while also placing the team in more precarious positions to get out of to allow the audience to see them BOND and actually feel something when they died.
It was so bad that now, suddenly, the death star now blows things up with explosions that move...slow.
What shows is how little they cared about making a decent film
Those last 20-30 minutes in Rogue One are pure gold.
Battle of Scarrif is defo up there with one of the best.
To non-fans and people that dont think.
Death Star slow moving explosion that makes no sense other than the writers are so shit they dont know how to write a dramatic death scene.
Darth Vader that moves like a video game boss that a couple days later can barely move fighting Obi-Wan.
Darth Vader seeing the plans being handed over to a ship he takes over the next day and says "You intercepted those TRANSMISSIONS".
Amateur garbage.
jumbled up script, nonsensical human behaviour, bad dialogue.
Random pet peef: Why is there a console with a switch sitting right on a beach, like switches in 90's shooter games?
Forget it, doesn't matter, the characters are so forgettable. Who's that? Well, one can wield a stick blindly and he has a tag line. that other guy has a big gun.
I mean... look how well written and acted other shows are. Look at the attention to detail in Foundation. Look at the human layers in Battle Star. Whatever.
You're bar should be raised.
"It's not as bad as episode II" is really not a badge of quality.
SW has access to the best artists in the world with unlimited funds - how can anyone applaud the outcome?
@@thomasjones4570seriously. It was fan boy Star Wars porn that’s it
@@ianian9078ROFLMAO, you just attempted to explain why there would be a slow motion explosion in real time...
You actually attempted to say an explosion would move slower if only a single reactor was used. This is how desperate your mind is to cling to the idea it wasnt total trash.
Literally stupid. Just call me a poopy head already and cry that "but the movie was good to me" and get it over with.
People keep saying that the exhaust port was a plot hole, but in the movie it's explained that in additon to the things mentioned in this video, the port is ray shielded and the trench is heavily armed, showing that although the designers didn't consider one man fighters to be a serious threat, they still took it into account.
And the rebel pilots' reactions to the briefing show that it's a desperate plan with little chance of success.
The only person in the room who seems confident is a naïve farm boy who only last night was staring into the sunset dreaming of excitement, adventure and really wild things.
Exactly!
People also don't seem to get that the exhaust port was _not_ the weakness set up in Rogue One. The instability of the main reactor was. The port was just the only means the Rebellion could find, in the short time they had, to set off the chain reaction from the outside.
It was really a very clever way to tie R1 in with the original canon. The rebels could know that there was a vulnerability that could be exploited, and even generally where and what it was, but they still had no idea how, or even if, there was any way to do so. Fortunately for them, arrogance and poor planning had also led to some engineer failing to properly shield a small thermal exhaust port from outside attack.
What makes no sense and why the Death Star being destroyed is ridiculous is that tarkin would have just ordered a freighter to park over top of the exhaust port to make their change zero
Naïve, not nauve.
@@MusicMyEverythingPHX Big fingers on a little keyboard. Fixed, thanks.
Still gutted we never got that beach and tie fighter sequence in the final film! The ending with Vader was an excellent call! ❤
Same!
I strongly disagree. That final scene pretty much ruined the movie for me (and also detracts from the start of Episode IV). It was pure fan service and, in my opinion, the movie should have ended with Jyn and Cassian.
@@ThePereubu1710 Having Vader there at all wasn't the problem. I read somewhere that originally Vader was going to be on the ground on Scariff and fight rebels there. That's the best version of that scene imo.
things you know!
@@ThePereubu1710 However, from a commercial standpoint, that Vader scene allowed the movie to get a better reaction among the general audiences. It made it end on a high note that the original movie was missing. And I'm not saying I disagree with you, though. Just saying that for the sudio it was the right call.
I loved Rogue One. But I would love to see a Director’s Cut (even if I feel it won’t happen).
Unedited or Sith, R rated 😎
LOVE to buy that! Even though I own it already both physically and digitally
Disney is like, "Oh, something the fans are interested in and might make us money? NAW"
I promise you we'll never get it so long as the Wretched Rat has its grubby paws on the IP lol
The released version is the Directors Cut
No feelings necessary.
It won't happen.
It's Disney - why correct mistakes when you can just churn out more cookie cutter content.
The film I’m most proud to be in as a rebel marine. So much fun filming!!
That’s me at 9:11 behind general Draven in the blue fatigues!!
@@dalton6019 Seriously cool!
thats so damn cool
That’s awesome!
@@dalton6019 Neat.
Rogue One is easily the best Srar Wars movie so far under Disney so far
That's a pretty low bar ;)
So? So far. Probably ever, honestly. The Force is female, after all.
That bar is heel high.
pretty low bar to clear
Absolutely. Grabbed me like a new hope so many years back. Watch Andor too - it stays with you. So much lately has been bad; Ahsoka is at least enjoyable enough though.
I don't feel like the theatrical cut we got needed to be changed, I'm just disappointed we never got to see the scenes that were cut in any form. Deleted scenes were never included on any release of the film. Ever since seeing that conversation with Krennic and Vader in the trailer where Krennic says "The POWAH we are dealing with here is immeasurable", I've always wanted to see the rest of the scene. That line and the way Ben Mendelsohn delivers it is just too good.
I’m a Vet, and this is my favorite SW film. When they bring in the Rebel dismounts, it feels so much like a homecoming, like I instantly see grunts I’ve served with over the last 15 years. This is the most realistic and important element in the flick to me.
There is some stuff from Gareth Edwards cut that I would've loved to have seen in the theatrical cut. But besides that, I freaking love the final cut.
Imagine if Gareth Edward's was given the sequel trilogy. It would have been incredible.
Aside from sadly not getting to see the beach run on the big screen, I really feel the re-edit to this film is superior. Rogue One is a lot of fun, but the Vader “kill box” ending makes it one of the greatest SW films in the series.
Agreed
@@DD-zh4byThis guy gets it!
things you know!
@@DD-zh4by when i saw Dark Vador i CLAAAAAAAAAAPED !
So much feels missing from this movie. Too many characters felt hollow. Vader felt out of place. Would love a directors cut.
I find it funny that they were worried it wasn't as good as Force Awakens as I find Rogue One to be a much better film - while unnecessary, it tells an interesting tale where as Force Awakens just retreads the same ground as previous movies.
It isn't unusual for a trailer to have shots that don't make the final cut, or even for there to be shots done just for the trailer, but wow there seems to be a huge difference between what was being promoted and what was finally released. I think the finished product is a good film but yeah, would be interesting to see the original cut to see what Disney originally agreed to make and what the cast all signed on for. Sounds like it wouldn't be that different for the most part but some interesting changes. You never know, Disney + always needs content and this would be a quick and easy thing for them to put up there so I wouldn't be surprised if it gets released sooner than later.
I agree even if I disagree with them killing off the cast.
I'm glad they killed off the cast, a war is grim, their sacrifices, in retrospect, made the rebels' struggles all the greater, and their final victory all the more powerful.
More films need to kill their casts, just not randomly and for no reason. @@Darkwintre
@@lcmiracle agree too. Kept the dark tone of the film. PLus saves the question of "where were they during epIV.
And lets face itwhile TFA started good, it did just descend into a remake of EpIV. Pity
But to be honest the additional intro for Cassian (dodgy, ruthless rebel fighter, dedicated to the mission rather than squeaky clean white knight hero), Jyn (lost my parents, abandoned, "i don't care anymore" rather than "they killed my parents I want to fight") and even Saw ( paranoid, fight the empire no matter what the cost/collateral and "just cos we;re the rebels doesn;t mean we're "good")
Force Awakens was much better. More original or not.
@@thegoodreylo4749 looked flasher, no substance to it.
the one I am hoping to see is the one with Krennic saying to Vader, "the power we are dealing with is unimaginable"
"Immeasurable"...but you are right...this scene and dialogue should have been left in. Especially if what this video is saying is true, and it was a conversation between Vader, Krennic, and Tarkin. I loved the internal Imperial power struggle between Krennic & Tarkin, and would love to see more of it.
@@Matuatay Yeah me too, it reminds me of hitlers inner circle such as Bormann and others fighting it out trying to curry favor with hitler while minimizing the other.
@@TonyFromSyracuse101 The dynamic between Tarkin and Vader has long struck me as very similar to Himmler and Heydrich, going back to A New Hope. Tarkin outranked Vader, but Vader was the guy the Emperor sent to personally deal with the real nasty stuff that no-one else had the stomach for.
Having now watched The Creator it's safe to say Edwards struggles with telling a good story. He is an excellent director but clearly has trouble with narrative, therefore the reshoots and Gilroy's rewrite seem like they massively improved the movie. Rogue One is the best thing with the Star Wars brand on it since Genndy Tarkovsky's Clone Wars cartoon and that's thanks to Edwards AND Gilroy. I don't think I need to see a director's cut and I think Edwards agrees. I want to see Edwards work with better screenwriters in future because he has such a good directing style but his stories always fall short. Rogue One is definitely his best work so far though.
It's not safe to say anything, your opinion on his ability to tell a good story is subjective, that is safe to say...
Agreed, coincidentally (or not) the Godzilla movie was compelling and fresh, visually arresting BUT the actual human story parts were forgettable.
That's fine though. I mean it used to be the case where directors just direct now everyone wants to do everything. Would love to see Edwards on a SW project again working with acclaimed writers since he clearly gets how to create the scale and atmosphere of SW - not like JJ and RJ.
@@OnlyAnOpinion20 though I think many people would agree that the movies Gareth Edwards wrote are always lacking in narrative
@@zakyjauhariel7804 and that would be their opinion, which they would obviously be entitled to.
The Tie fighter/tower scene could have easily been worked into the theater release. Jen is stopped by the fighter but, just as she closes her eyes expecting to be blasted, a rebel X Wing destroys the TIE so Jen can upload the Death Star plans.
Great idea and seems so obvious
@@Bulletsandblockbusters Jyn limping out to the end of the catwalk is STILL in the movie, but the TIE is gone, because a few moments later she's strafed by a TIE Striker. It was felt that Jyn being threatened by TWICE by Imperial strike craft would have been 'redundant'.
It’s a great shot. I always thought it would have been cool to have her equipped with a slightly beefier gun, have her blast the pilot through the window as she’s walking towards it, and have the TIE fall away.
Or... Chewie is flying it.
That shot was never in the script for either version of the movie. It was specifically made for the trailer.
4:40 The Vader-Hallway-Scene is the only Appearance of an original character in Disney Area Star Wars, that felt genuinely absolutely stunning, amazing and organic. Rogue One and Andor are amazing. The other shows just can't deliver the kind of quality.
you forgot to call it brave besides stunning.
I Agree totally.
It may be a "cool" as a stand alone piece - but in the scope of the actual film it's just tacked-on fan service. The fact it wasn't even included in any version of the script tells you everything you need to know. It certainly wasn't organic - quite the opposite.
Andor was great for the first few episodes but it fell apart for me the moment Cassian turned into some kind of superman. He gets away from everything. At least he can't outrun a blast from the Death Star 😂
@@fallinginthed33p What? That's bizarre, you can say exactly the same thing about any other SW character. How do you think soldiers survive things? Skill, training and sheer luck. That's how Cassian gets away. Is Saw surviving to his 50's/60's despite fighting constant war also a superman thing? Is any character/veteran surviving unrealistic now somehow? Lmao. Not to mention, Cassian blatantly does suffer no matter what. He escapes Aldhani due to good planning and teamwork, but gets caught by a random stop and search via profiling. He loses his mother and his home due to being in prison on false charges.
Rogue one is the best Star Wars and I would love to see a director's cut version, but the fact that all the main characters died made this film that much more real and Grand. Rogue one is realism, dark and for adults, no comedy here. All these elements make Rogue one the best.👍
But there WAS comedy there. Snarky humour but it made this one laugh. Channeling Saba Sebatyne there, lol.
I'd love to see Saw's original scenes and the full beach sequence as bonus features someday, but the final version of the film is excellent.
Agreed
Gareth Edwards is a class act. He has always been humble and spoken with a positive attitude about this film. Also, he WAS fired. Back then Disney cared much more about ensuring positive spin on their films and TV than they do now (so many train wrecks and publicity nightmares!). I have multiple friends in the VFX business who have independently stated that Edwards was given marching orders off of this film. I can't imagine how painful it must have been for him and to then have to go promote the film as if nothing happened and everyone was still friends.
That makes no sense. Maybe your "friends" are mistaken, if they even exist at all.
@@movieswithmatticus5469 Go back to elementary school, focus on reading comprehension, come back and it will make sense.
Wow what a devastating comeback. I'll never recover from that. @@Jace-xw3ly
And it's even more gross because although the guy is a talented and passionate writer, Tony Gilroy, who replaced Edwards in the director's chair, basically laughed about it on a podcast some time later, as if it's funny Edwards got kicked off his own film project? Very strange and sad...
This is sort of what they do with a lot of people. You got speak good of the mouse if you ever want to work with anything the mouse owns.
Rogue one is one of the very few examples that it’s good some producers stepped in
Uggh I trust Gilroy that the final version was an improvement on Edwards' original but I would still absolutely love to see the unused footage
Same
I would love to see Gareth Edwards directors cut, but I love the movie we got and think it’s the best version of the story
Same here
I know what you mean, and it would be great to see. But part of me thinks "do we really need another original vs special edition cintroversy?"
@@zacmumblethunder7466As an artist, I’m always interested in seeing the work completely as originally intended by the artist. when we got snyder’s dceu directors cuts, it really made a massive difference imo
I don't think we'll see it because it wasn't complete when Gilroy took over. Reshoots would be needed to finish up missing scenes in Edwards' version. This isn't Apocalypse Now or The Thin Red Line where enough footage was shot to make a few alternate cuts, but it's still interesting for Rogue One to be compared to war movies instead of just being a Star Wars flick.
That editor gave us one of the most popular and badass vader scenes of all of star wars
I love how Felicity Jones classic beauty fills the 70's aesthetic of the original trilogy despite being a modern take
Wonder what happened to her? Haven't seen her in much since.
She has done a couple of high profile movies since- The Theory of Everything, the aeronauts, The midnight sky.. - but I think mostly British projects that are not very mainstream?
Yeah but her acting was meh throughout the entire film
I would have preferred if Desplat had worked on the music instead of Giacchino, his themes were very cheesy and ripped off John Williams in a very inorganic way
I think they made a huge mistake with Felicity Jones because she does have a resemblance to Mark Hamill and would have been perfect as Luke's daughter in the sequels instead of having Daisy who can't act her way out of a paper bag and it would have made them much better than the garbage that we got!
9:52 - This line reminded me so much of the British scifi series Blake's 7, when in the finale the line "have YOU betrayed ME??" is spoken. As a Blake's 7 fan this movie reminded me a lot of the series in general, with a group of criminals and outlaws risking their lives to fight an evil Federation, and knowing that in the end it will cost them their lives.
And having a similar outcome with our heroes dying…
You mean like... Seven Samurai from 1954? 😂
Rogue one is definitely one of my favorite SW films. Hearing you explain the changes, I think the theatrical cut is probably the best cut. I also like Solo. Unfortunately I think Solo was cut down by "The Last Jedi", which disenfranchised many die hard fans, with its treatment of Luke.
Also, I think creating a movie like Solo or Black Widow, after the characters on screen deaths, cuts the interest in those movies. BW should have came out before End game.
I totally agree about Solo's poor performance due to the abysmal Last Jedi. Solo's bad reception was heavily biased because of such a bad reaction to what Rian Johnson had done. Really unfortunate - Solo is fantastic.
"Solo"'s poor performance had nothing to do w TLJ. It had a lot of cringe and nonsensial moments and pointless scenes. Simply not a great story. I'm a huge SW fan and literally fell asleep twice. Solo would have been better served as a short series like "Obi-Wan". It simply wasn't that great as a stand alone movie compared to "Rogue One", or even many of the TV series. Rotten tomatoes has Solo at 69% and TLJ at 91%. Audience scores are simply bitter SW fans that try to skew the film and can't handle that Luke Skywalker's charachter followed his path perfectly despite what Mark Hamil thinks. TLJ had as many issues as the other sequel films, but blaming it solely for any missteps is so 2020. Give it up.
Yeah, but Andor is beloved and we all know how it ended.
@@jonbaxter2254 Andor did not do well in the ratings.
@@goober8798 "Audience scores are simply bitter SW fans that try to skew the film and can't handle that Luke Skywalker's charachter followed his path perfectly despite what Mark Hamil thinks." --The copium is strong with this one. That is the most ridiculous statement I have heard in a long time.
The scene at the end that shows Leia always takes my breath away. I first saw the film a few hours after i heard she died. After we got out i heard her mom Debbie Reynolds died from basically a broken heart. The whole thing almost makes me tear up to this day.
OMG, where did they get that footage at 2:10? Those were Stormtroopers from the 501st Legion. I was one of those blown back from the flying car. We spend at least 12 hours on the set testing out the feasibility of a TV show. I've been looking for any mention of this or footage for years and years!!!
Also, thanks for the wonderful videos. Recently stumbled across this channel and have thoroughly enjoyed the content. Your deep-dive research on these beloved film series is amazing.
Welcome aboard and thanks so much for the kind words!
I love the corridor scene. What a great last minute addition. It's so tense.
It shows Vaders incompetence.
@@andymiller6661
What would a competent Vader have done?
@kedabro1957 Not have a dramatic entrance. Immediately use the Force to knock everyone to the ground or floor or ceiling. Even if the initial knock downs are a few at a time, he can quickly knock down small group after small group, then either finish them or knock them out or use the Force to hold them there while stormtroopers search them for the plans. Or he could knock them all down and quickly make his way to the airlock while the stormtroopers deal with the knocked out troopers, searching for plans and taking care of business.
What Could Have Been: Guillermo Del Toro’s Doctor Strange Please 🙏
This has been one of my favorite videos of yours, thank you. May the force be with you🙏
My pleasure and same to you.
It's almost surreal how bad the Disney era has been, especially considering how it started. Put Tony Gilroy in charge, it seems like he is the only suit that doesn't hate Star Wars fans.
I think the best version possible would have included that beach scene. Yeah, the theatrical version is probably better than the original director's cut, but only because he was playing it safe, the one time Dishey was actually willing to take a chance. Rogue One is probably the most liked of the Disney SW films for two scenes that weren't in the origianl screenplay; all the characters dying, and Vader at the end. Although Jen's character seems to have been a bit more cocky and obnoxious in the original draft, I still kinda' miss the line, "This is a rebellion isn't it? I Rebel".
I quite like the recurring theme of hubris throughout the ages in Star Wars. The Jedi and senate hubris refused to believe that anything could possibly deceive or oppose them successfully. The empire had that same hubris and now we are seeig it again in the re-established Galactic Republic in the Ahsoka show. It makes those scenes all the more powerful that show Padme dumbfounded by democracy dying with thunderous applause, or Qui Gon's uttet disbelief in what the council says to him in The Phantom Menace. Its probably my favourite aspect of Star Wars as a whole - who is right, who is wrong, who is doing the right things for the wrong reasons and the wrong things for the right reasons, who is blind to what is going on and who has their eyes wide open and tries to either oppose it or use it to their advantage
Maybe you don't speak English, but never once did the Jedi ever believe they could never be defeated. They successfully sensed a plot to destroy the Jedi, and they successfully knew Anakin was going to betray them, Mace Windu said it best. "I don't trust him"
@@TraceguyRune All these people who feel the need to tear down the Jedi because they hate authority. It will never change the fact the Jedi were right about everything in the end.
@@TraceguyRune Mace, and the distrustful and nearly adversarial treatment of Anakin by the council played directly into Palpatine's plan, and was a primary reason for Anakin's fall; it was practically a self-fulfilling prophesy. They never acknowledged the reality of the situation of Anakin being in the order, instead keeping him at arm's length while Obi-Wan fumbled to deal with him. They became absentee keepers because they never wanted him, but they still used him for the war while simultaneously acting as if his instability was an exterior problem that they couldn't help with. It wasn't in the main plot, but Anakin's story with the council is also similar to troops being used by governments and coming away with unaddressed PTSD.
They say that trailer scene where she looks back dressed in the black empire uniform as the lights come on, was just because the camera happened to be filming as they were about to do a take, and they were just turning on the set lights.
The one part I wish still made it in the movie was the group running across the beach trying to avoid being killed by the AT-ATs. I remember seeing that in the first trailer want to see how that was gonna play out in the movie. Still was an awesome movie but still wish I could’ve seen that in the movie
Outside of New Hope and Empire, Rogue One is my fave SW movie. Gareth Edwards also created one of my other fave movies, Monsters. Realise Monsters splits viewers, but I think it's great and you can see Edward's use of scale in shows through-out Rogue. As for the cuts, would love to see the complete Edwards movie.
Rogue one is the only movie Disney made that’s worth a shit
ROTS!
Amazing! Not always the "directors cut" is the best cut. Sometimes the final work is the one intended to be seen!
The comic adaptation also extended scenes quite a bit: extended intros for Jyn and Bohdi, with Jyn's cell mate casually promising to kill her and Galen convincing Bohdi to defect and we see Bohdi sneaking away from the city and meeting the partisans. There would also be a moment of Chirrut sensing Bohdi as he left the city, implying he had some Force abilities.
We were going to see how badly Bor Gullet was messing up Bohdi's mind, with his memories being scrambled by the creature.
An extended death for Saw where he took out a small holoprojector to look at a picture of Steela.
A brief scene between Galen and one of his scientists when they're told Krennic has arrived.
A bit of Baze getting ready to assassinate both Krennic and Galen before Chirrut talks him out of it.
A really nice scene between Bohdi and K-2SO where K-2 points out to Bohdi he chose to defect while he had to be reprogrammed, lamenting his own lack of personal choice and also explaining why K-2 tells him 'You're a Rebel now!'
Mon and Bail reacting to the imminent attack on Eadu.
A scene between Mon with Jyn and Bohdi before the meeting, where the 'I Rebel' line was going to be turned into 'Let's Rebel' after Mon tells them not to come with her into the meeting.
Alan Tudyk also mentioned two alternate deaths for K-2, one where he died alongside Cassian and Jyn and another where Krennic kills him.
Earliest ive seen a new video.
Keep up the great work ! It helps scratch the itches I had in curiosity for all the projects.
Glad to hear it! And thank you!!!
The final product was spectacular. The additions, reworks, and re shoots were all value-added
Considering the Andor series was all Gilroy, I think it's safe to say the version we got was an improvement.
The only thing I'm a little bitter about (that's surprisingly not mentioned here) is that we'll never hear Alexandre Desplat's original score.
Michael Giacchino came in after the reshoots and quickly assembled a new score. It's not bad, but it's not his best, and I feel Desplat's style would have been a better fit for the tone of the movie
Agreed and thanks for reminding me! Forgot to include that. I also left the theatre feeling underwhelmed by the score.
I really wish I could see the deleted scenes. I don’t think scenes should ever be cut for run time. Star Wars films are long anyway and fabs wouldn’t mind as long as the scenes are consistent with the story
A scene with Vader and Tarkin and Krennic... I would love to see it
It's sad that due to the reshootings Alexandre Desplat had to leave the production with a good portion of the score already composed. I do like what Michael Giacchino came up with last minute, but it leaves me wondering what the score could have been. It's said that some of it was adapted to Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets but it's difficult to know which parts were originally for Rogue One.
Damn, we almost got Alexander Desplat to compose a Star Wars score :(
I'd love to see the original version and decide for myself which version I like better.
Thanks for this video! Although I would've loved to see the additional action sequences, with this information most of the alterations actually make a lot of sense. Good to know!
Rogue One captured something more of the magic of Star Wars moving forward than any of the other films around it…….it’s also the more recent of the Star Wars films I’ve watched multiple times and still thoroughly enjoyed 🚀🚀🚀💖
Agreed...only Disney SW film that felt "Star Wars" to me and not like a bunch of kids playing dress up with life-sized toys.
Edwards and Gilroy made a masterpiece. Bravo.
Rogue One is the only film outside the Original Three that feels like a Star Wars film
Best standalone *"Star Wars"* film, keeping in canon to the Star Wars franchise.
This was a great film. I don't know why some didn't like it. It was a strong story.
Agreed, best SW film since Episode V! Not to mention it set up the best non animated series perfectly in Andor!
Most people loved it.
I knew I wasn’t crazy for thinking this!
People who didn't like it aren't star wars fans.
Whatever the road taken to get there - I believe “Rogue One” is the absolute best film of the Star Wars franchise. Wonderful story, solid acting and character development, beautiful production design, inspired cinematography and great effects. Unlike the Lukas era Star Wars prequel films, “Rogue One” will stand the test of time. Everyone involved should be proud of this film.
Why do so many struggle to spell rogue?
Rouge is red makeup.
I like the space part. Atat attacking beach. Krennic getting shot. Ninja Donnie yen rescue Jyn erso.
@@TheCoolCucumber no sh*t Sherlock. In English, rouge is “a red powder or cream used as a cosmetic for coloring the cheeks or lips.”
@@TheCoolCucumber you…um…aren’t exactly struggling with an excess amount of brains or overburdened with schooling, are ya?
Like I’ve already said you’re the best movie TH-camr ever.
Wow, what a compliment. Thank you!
Good changes Disney, great movie!!
The cinematography of R1 was amazing...the top down view of the battle of scaraf was sooo sick...i LOVED this movie
2:17 Oi, Ridley, they've nicked your spinner!
Rogue one is great and after seeing Edwards “The Creator” I would of loved to see his original Rogue One vision - as always great video!
Thnx!
Solo was boycotted due to the backlash of "The Last Jedi" is was actually a good film. But Rogue One my fave from the Disney stuff and prolly the only thing they have done right.
According to Freddie Prince Jr Filoni was the one who directed the Vader hallway sequence.
Forest Whitaker's lines from the trailer were very compelling. I kept waiting for him to say them in the movie.
"What will you do if they catch you? What will they do if they break you? ... If you continue to fight. What will you become?"
That was odd.
It would be nice if Disney would release the deleted scenes. Why not?
Because apparently many are interwoven with scenes and moments already in the film so they’re not traditional deleted scenes. Maybe a more appropriate name would be “alternate scenes”.
I don't think Solo failed due to the spinoff nature - I think it failed because it came out so soon after the previous Episode VIII - which was largely a disappointment to a large number of fans. Which is a shame, as Solo was a pretty fun movie that had potential for some interesting sequels.
And that it was little more than a greatest hits compilation of how all the things we know about him came about. It did far too much far too quickly.
@@andrewflindall9048this is true too, but with the bar so low with the current quality of star wars, it was at least decent in comparison
It failed because it wasn't what people wanted from the movie!
I worked on one of those shots running on the beach to get to the tower. It was sad to not see it in the final cut.
It's ashame that beach scene had to be cut. Even the glimpses we saw of it in the trailer, which you showed here, those were beautiful shots!
I wonder what trading standards have made of the false advertising?
Advertising a movie with a certain scene in it only to deliver the product with the advertised part omitted
Happens all the time unfortunately
There can be no better version than the theatrical cut, it is a masterpiece. After seeing this video it is a wonder to me how such a great movie turn out when there was so much chaos and misdirection? Very much reminds me of Casablanca of how it was made, my all time favorite movie.
Masterpiece 😂😂😂 erm no
Yes there can. A directors cut would be better. More of such a good movie is always a plus
A new hope was literally saved by editing after the first cut. It would’ve been a complete flop if it was left to George Lucas. Thankfully he listened to the obvious bad flow and choppy scenes and finally they edited to work well together and it turned out to be one of the biggest movies of all time
The combat scenes we got were some of the best ever done in any of the films. The firefight felt much more real. I can only imagine what the original looked like. This is my second fav only edged out by ESB, which I liked for similar reasons. Combat on Hoth felt legit.
The only real plot hole is how Vader can talk and breath at the same time. Mid-words even.
😂
3:34 This is why you need to discuss things like this before you start shooting. Did the executives not read the script beforehand and actually ask, why isn't everybody dead at the end of the movie?
If they have they could have solved the ending without costly reshoots
💯
0:50 Thank you for using the despecialized Death Star explosion.
I truly do appreciate and recognize these changes made for a stronger film ..but also I would have LOVED for that scene where Jyn marches toward the ascending TIE fighter to stay. Also? Dang, some of these ..ahem. ANGLES.
A lot of the things removed would've been really cool to have in the movie however I do feel like the version we got is the best version of the story.
Great video as always. I’ve read that one of the reasons the original was changed was because vader was hunting down the cast 1 by 1 in an almost Freddy Krueger style slasher and it was too dark. If that was filmed I need to see it.
Thnx! And no that was never shot, although I felt the obi wan series should’ve been what you described.
@@Bulletsandblockbusters that’s disappointing to hear! I personally didn’t watch obi wan after the first episode. Just wasn’t for me/the quality I expect
Same here
Omg that woulda been a grrreat movie!!
Rogue One is one of my favorite of any of the Star Wars movies. It goes, Empire, New Hope, Revenge of the Jedi and Then Rogue One. Don't really care after that. Andor is also my favorite of all of the SW Series.
I love these types of videos man, great job! Could you make a video on one of the Die Hard movies? I think that could be a great video too
Thnx! I’ll look into it
The bigger plothole that Rogue 1 fills is: How the hell did the rebels analyze all those plans and find this flaw in such a small period of time. Now we see that: A) They had the specific part of the plans they needed and B) they knew there was a flaw to be found. This is what a good prequel does. It improves the original film. Unlike those other prequels that only make the entire series worse.
What Could Have Been Tim Miller's Deadpool 2 Please 🙏
Thank you olsen. Thanks to you millions of fans had something to cry over and a final high point to finally let star wars rest in piece
To back up the fact it was never a plot hole: General Dodonna says "The target is _a_ thermal exhaust port, just below the _main_ port. Its Ray-Shielded, so you'll have to use proton torpedoes*".
*The Empires weakness has always been its hubris and didn't expect the Rebels to have those weapons.
I still love Rogue One though
Having just finished watching all the films & TV shows in chronological order. Star Wars Rouge One is my favourite
This is my favorite Star Wars film, and I'm glad it went into reshoots.
While I do think Rogue One suffers from pacing issues in the first act, it has the best third act of any Star Wars film. The attack on Scarif is pure bliss from beginning to end
Rogue One is not only the Best Disney Era Star Wars film, but also one of the many example of, a little bit of help (in this case, from Gilroy), can go a very long way.
It's amazing that the best Star Wars movie since the original trilogy was based off of a throw away line
Saying that the exhaust port on the death star is a "flaw in the design" is like saying that the open barrel of a tank's cannon is a flaw. I mean, it leads directly back to the gunner! If you could launch a high ordinance explosive straight down that barrel you could kill the entire crew in one shot! Its also.... an impossible shot to make so no one worries about it.
"This is a rebellion isn't it? I Rebel!!!" Most iconic line out of the whole fuckin movie and it got cut 🤷 i even have the T-shirt with that line 🤣😂
😂😂
I was a kid in Jr. HS (Middle School) when the original "classic" Star Wars came out, so I grew up with the original trilogy. This might be sacrilege to some, but IMO Rogue One is the best of all the movies. The "other" two trilogies could have been so much better, but in the end they were really lacking and disappointing in many areas. As for the streaming series, the first season of Andor was fantastic, with The Mandalorian being a worthy second. However, The Book of Bobba Fet and Obi Wan were very disappointing. So far, Ahsoka has had some good and some disappointing episodes, so we'll see what season two brings. Overall, Kathleen Kennedy almost destroyed the Star Wars franchise with her more "modern" vision of where it should go. Thankfully there are other very creative talents that have saved her from herself...
Great video, even if I disagree with some parts. Now I understand why Rogue One's beginning feels jumbled to me - the backstories were added later. Watching the teaser trailer, the movie feels darker than the final cut. That's what I wanted to see. I also remember seeing video somewhere of the beach run's end. Maybe only Jyn survived? I can't remember. And Rogue One's theatrical beach ending is very similar to These Final Hours.
I believe Jyn and Cassian die separately in the original cut. And also, thank you so much!!!!!
One thing that gets often forgotten about how dumb it was for the Death Star to have such a glaring vulnerability is that when the film came out in 1977, that wasn’t a trope yet. It wasn’t dumb at the time because it was still new, and arguably, it only seems dumb in hindsight because A New Hope is the movie that solidified it as a trope in the first place.
Look at Tarkin's nervous twitching (0:57) as he's being told about the weakness. He's already worried and I think his response is more bravado than confidence.
Ita not a stand alone. I hate Kennedy but she deserves the credit for the first Inbetweenquel.
Donnie Yen's character should've been a jedi. Imagine if his stick was a double bladed saber.
🔥
The BEST Star Wars movie since the 1977-1983 trilogy.
3:03 "feeling it fell well short of the Force Awakens" LOL
Rogue One is an interesting case study in a project that is one of my favourite Star Wars movies on paper, but also one of my least favourites in execution. It's a movie where all of the filmmaking choices and corrections that are mentioned in this video are almost visible when you watch the film. For example, the Vader scene should be an incredible scene, but when watching the movie, it almost feels like an insert that was an after thought. Another is all of the beach sequences seen in the trailers that were cut from the movie, where when you are actually watching the movie, it feels like something dramatic from the third act is missing and wound up on the cutting room floor. It's too messy of a film that just lacks *something* and where the filmmaking becomes noticeable instead of you just being immersed in an emotional and riveting story. It feels like a Frankenstein of a project that just crossed the finish line. I wonder if they were actually happy with it when they had to complete it, or if they just thought they salvaged it enough to make it passable, because that's how I see it. I absolutely *adore* the show Andor, and I feel like THAT is satisfying in the way that Rogue One should have been, and depending on the day, I might tell you that Andor is the best piece of Star Wars content that's ever been made.
I feel similarly to this. Somehow a single small shootout or skirmish in Andor packs a punch and a grit that no other show I've seen matches. It just feels visceral and real, from the grounded scale, locations and the details.
Oh boy --- Lucas' show sounds quite a lot like Andor :)
Rouge One is my favorite fils after the original trilogy. However, they only had to get two things right. 1. Steal the plans. 2. BEAM them to Princess Leia's ship. Darth says that the plans were beamed to her ship. In this movie, they are hand carried on. All they had to do was have the same end scene with Vader but have them start to beam it to her ship. Then the status bar would be running the same time as Darth is cutting his way down the hall. Same energy, same suspense, but true to the dialog/story. No idea why no one said anything during production.
