#3 "I want to suck my thumb but the Empire will know if I do it now."
GilderoyPopDropNLockart
This is my favorite movie in the franchise
angrysharks
The Death Troopers were highly augmented veteran Clone Troopers who survived the transition from the Republic to the Empire.

Aww poor stormy..

Def the best movie if the latest releases. Possibly the best of all time. And it is on Netflix!!
xoverthirtyx
Anyone else think Mads was a ronin Jedi in the opening scenes? It was shot like a samurai duel scene in a field & his wardrobe...so good!
Castitalus
Only thing I didn't like about it was that no bothans died to bring the death star information, as far as I could tell.
twohearteddoctor
Yeah but they didnt die for the first death star they died for the second the line is used in return of the jedi
GoodGuyJamie
The Death Troopers are so metal,I love it.
vudak
Their voice modulation is chilling.

i just noticed the G3 mags

The original trilogy can't be beat but this comes very fucking close

Just about everyone died, even most of the rebellion, like Jesus Christ Disney do something that you can show kids to

The last good Star Wars movie released.

I love me some Star Trek! Kind of sad Dumbledore died though.

what are the magazine pouches for?

Their collection of pristine blaster targets.

Rogue One's costuming department was doing just like the original Star Wars ones did and slapping cool-looking surplus crap together.

All I know about this movie is the conclusion as written in New Hope, and that nobody survives. What makes it worth watching?
MagTuired
What a film. Really enjoyed it. Felt very immersive to me and fleshed out the Star Wars universe some more, showed a bit of the gritty side.
canonlyturnright
Just watched this for 2nd time last night. Great movie, I still reckon Chirrut should have had some sort of light sabre..Laser Staff?
JohnnyVarlow
Best star wars film since ESB
attackofthequokka
that's not saying much
twohearteddoctor
Definitely a great one

This comment is not like the others.
bigworm496
Agreed
Bigredzombie
It frustrates that me after the success of rouge one they still made 8 the way they did.

Wish we got to see the death Star come out of hyperspace though...
Lambast
I thought it was interesting that R1 managed to make the Death Star way more threatening than Starkiller Base.

Agreed!

A fine addition to my collection!

I also want to try to do "a day in the life" one of these days... it's tough since there's so much I can't show. Hahahah.
Justpokenit
Legit only good for the last part of the movie
heebiejeepie
Rogue One actually felt like a war movie. Ground-level experience of a Death Star strike was awesome. Ben Mendelsohn (Krennic) was good bad.
mikmeh
Yeah, it was a good flick
smallchanceofsuccess
War movie / Heist movie / whydoikeepgettingemotionallyattachedtofictionalcharacters movie
ThePostWasExactlyThat
Not much of a heist movie. Usually people make a plan when staging a heist. Rogue One's idea was to see how far they could get before
ThePostWasExactlyThat
being killed and hope all goes well.
stormtroopr1977
I actually liked R1 better than both TFA & TLJ
Mimsey
Which is why it's probably my favorite in the franchise. Not saying much, but it's something. A lot more realism and wisdom. Less fantasy.
heebiejeepie
And the battle was painfully costly. No invincible victorious survivors - just sacrifice, and Hope renewed.
pancreas
yes. I wanted to see more of the war. not "move slowly just out of reach of their lasers for 2 hours."
heebiejeepie
I came to like the amphibious species even more, also. Always pushing to take action, and good battle commanders. (it's a trap!)

amphibious? you mean the gungans?

"Also our commander is tight-lipped about her grand plan, despite the fact it could've prevented a mutiny if she just spoke up"

whoa whoa whoa. That's a strong female character you're talking about. HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST SHE NEEDED A MAN'S INVOLVEMENT.
BobotheButtClown
Honestly. Her silence could have been solved so quickly, just say 'we have a mole.' That also removes the need for the 'impossible (1/2)

Greatest Vader scene yet put to film.

FlockOfSeagulls25
Negelberries
I like that Director Krenick was the only pussy needing death troopers. Even Vader rolled with standard troopers.
huanthewolfhound
In the movie, yes, but we've seen Death Troopers with Thrawn now in Rebels.
PMmeYourFeetLadies
Vader could defend himself against basically anything though. He took out everyone in that hallway because of the immediacy of the plans.
gnikcuftihs
Also the troops on thst ship were very under armed they had blaster pistols and thats it. Still proboly would not of mattered.
A2DY79
They died like regular stormtroopers.
LostHonour
Like everyone who's a bipedal human who gets shot in star wars? Not sure of your point matey.
A2DY79
My point is that they weren't portrayed as significantly more combat effective than normal stormtroopers in any scene.
LostHonour
They absolutely were. While stormtroopers died in droves like goons, the Death Troopers by comparison were accurate and efficient.
Spocky730
Vader almost doesn't even need Stormtrooper support. Krenick does not have the Force or a Lightsaber. Hence: Death Troopers.
LostHonour
+1 for common sense answers.
FenderFinger
In Rebels Thrawn has them sometimes but not all the time
jiynxed
So were the death troopers droids or what? They never said anything in basic.
kr18
Augmented soldiers
ForlornFennec
Human troops, but serving under to Imperial Intelligence (i.e. the folks in the white uniform jackets you almost never see).
LostHonour
Yes, the naval equivalent would be Nova Troopers or Blackhole Troopers.
LostHonour
Admittedly with Vader he has the 501st, Vader's Fist. His legion, of which they had the most and the last of the clones before they died off
BillyMaysHereWithOxiClean
To be fair, he was depicted with standard stormtroopers before the 501st even came to exist within the canon.
LostHonour
This is true, but they were still the only ones in the movies to perform as the Canon describes and actually mince the rebels.
triedtothinkofausernamethatwasntalreadytaken
He had the force which is basically a cheat
mindstorm8191
I think someone should do a world where everyone has TK powers (or maybe just scifi suites that read brain signals to control levitators?)
LostHonour
Yeah, in the games it's never felt right to play a Jedi character so I just shoot everyone like a regular trooper.
KanyeWesticularCancer
I cannot understand the hate for this movie. It’s gorgeous, well acted, tense, funny, and emotional. Plus it filled a plot hole!
mansadamngoblin
It is my favorite because it is the first time that the characters feel like actual people. Think back to when Leia loses everyone in aldero
Larirari
I absolutely loved it. The only real reason thus far I've heard anyone disliking it was it had a strong female lead.
pancreas
I've literally never heard that brought up as an issue.
Larirari
I've heard it a good number of times, sadly. Loving all the downvotes, too. Keep em coming
StopLookingAtMyName
Because the best Star Wars films have good action and fantastic storytelling. R1 had fantastic action and bad storytelling.
PleaseNotTheFace
Because its hip to hate popular things.
asianmilkspray
I like it cos the tone felt different to the rest of the SW movies. Then the third act nails the epic battle in SW history.
TenWholeBees
Personally it felt like a high budget fan film with weak characters and a sub par plot. Definitely my least favorite Star Wars movie
DevonGronka
I liked it a lot more than episode 7. It was a lot of new stuff. Episode 7 was all just a re-hash and banking on "retro" appeal. =/
RavensX1X
But episode 7 made the whole rebellion out to be nothing. They won and dissolved before accomplishing anything.
DevonGronka
I really wanted more explanation of what the hell happened. It's like "j/k guys, luke never won and the empire's still around. PUNKED!"
AmazingPaladin
What plot hole? It was explained in A New Hope and didn't need any more explanation. They just looked for something to make a movie about.
KanyeWesticularCancer
It explained how an empire who created a weapon capable of destroying planets had such a major weakness. The answer? Sabotage.
CyanideSprite
I can explain it. The movie was timid and didn't add anything to the universe. It blew up or killed everything new it introduced. The 1/
CyanideSprite
characters had zero depth, personality, or personal investment beyond "they have nukes. We should stop them". It had a huge plot hole when
CyanideSprite
Leia's ship jumps to lightspeed at the end and still somehow Vader follows her even though that technology didn't exist at the time. It was
CyanideSprite
cartoonishly shot like when the male lead was shot by the bad guy and fell down, banging against various beams like Wile E Coyote, and then
CyanideSprite
he somehow climbs up to the top to undeservedly shoot the bad guy at the end, going through the obstacle course Jin had to. Jin didn't say
ragekritz
I feel like there are a few too many characters and they aren't as memorable as they should be.
Toderdj
Who hated this film? I personally disliked 7 & 8, but this was glorious!
Phischstaebchen
I think it was still the better StarWars movie than the other two movies. Not to mention: oldschool style was so cool.
earlgreyG
It's not a soaring, operatic tale of heroism. It's a dark, cynical take of heroism. I get the hate, but I disagree. It's a joy to behold.
ThatDarnBandit
not heard any hate just praise for how it’s better then the new trilogy my only complaint is I wish vader wasn’t seen til the final scene
bobnot
Probably because it wasn't cannon and the whole movie was recut at the last minute.
vindik8or
If you take away the Star Wars there's nothing. The characters are poorly drawn and have no development. They're just there hit plot points.
Patsfreak101
Who could have hated it. Story aside, they didn't wuss out with the ending and made sure that it was going to be one shot. Beautifully done
esedu
I felt it was a very good movie, but there's a lot of small details in it that stand out as very different from the other movies.
OriginaIPoster
To me it was extremely poorly written. That's just me I guess. I thought there were dumb unnecessary characters and some annoying actions.
flammenpanzer
This is how I feel about it. They made the Empire dumb, and that was the only reason the rebels won
OriginaIPoster
The rebels were also done. "We have to kill her father" couldn't you not take her? Or like not kill her father? Surely he has useful info?
OriginaIPoster
He's literally their best pipeline of info about the empire. And then there was the splintered Rebel group. don't even get me started.
Anthroposapien
Personally I didn’t think it got that much hate. Most everything I saw was positive. IMO it’s even better than episode VII and VIII.
pancreas
It was probably my new favourite SW movie. The scale was grand. The rebels were really fleshed out. The Empire was badass. Darth Vader.
Voltair
It's easily one of my favorite Star Wars Films but I feel some of the characters were a little weak.
earlgreyG
But why do characters always need arcs in movies? Movies don't even need to be narrative. Koyaanisqatsi is incredible and it has zero plot.
DougDeNasty
Having read the books, they simply didn't have screen time for what was needed. Rogue One is book 2. Book 1 was about the Dad and Crenic.
nipplepanties
How much arch can you have when everyone dies in one movie?
lolzomg123
Not just in one movie, but literally in the course of just a few days in universe.
MegaDeuce
Paper thin characters, story that can't stand on its own if you don't know Star Wars, no emotional investment w/ events (for me, anyways).
Grillparzer
Who doesn't know Star Wars?
MegaDeuce
I mean, yeah it's funny, the acting's good, and the action's awesome. But w/out the above it's a letdown.
Lamplord
This is the first im hearing of hate. Pretty much everyone was saying "Rogue one is better than the New Trilogy!"
mormontsraven
I loved this movie. People that didn't are just ridiculous - to me anyway.
o4kill
Read the book, want to see the movie.
o4kill
Though it doesnt explain where Mini Bothans is.
iwanttoaggressivelysqueezeteemo
My only complaint was goofy good black al qaeda man. Just a weird, unnecessary character.
ShadowOftudhope
Honestly this is my favorite of the new movies.
octopencilpus
Right there with you.. it was gritty.. you felt that the characters were in real danger. One of my favorites
vidiv
Plot hole? That's not a nice way to talk about your mother.
DerpMeister
"I am one with the Force and the Force Is with me"...
AStegosaurus
Every part of the movie involving Saw Gerrera was painfully stupid. I liked everything else, especially the willingness to kill everyone to
AStegosaurus
prevent someone like George Lucas from introducing giant plot holes to shoehorn them into other movies.
CyanideSprite
I feel like it was a timid choice on their part to kill off or blow up everything new they introduced. They added nothing to the universe.
AStegosaurus
Spending millions of dollars making a movie with little merchandising value on its own and guaranteeing no direct sequels doesn't seem timid
AStegosaurus
to me. It directly showed people who were not willing to read a bunch of book why the rebels were in the situation they were, which is kind
CyanideSprite
Little merchandising? It had all the stuff that was popular to sell from the original trilogy. Stormtroopers, AT STs, droids, etc. But more
hetriedtokillmewithaforklift
It was okay, but I gotta admit I didn't like knowing the ending. It was just so... bleak. Beautifully shot, though, with excellent acting
Joletti
Hear hear!
gerf
I liked it, but the characters were not as well developed. They all ded tho
yomancs
I didn't know anybody hated it I thought it was fucking insane go eat an edible then come back
ForbinDallas
Easily my favorite outside of the original trilogy. And I’ve enjoyed it more and more with subsequent views
Hong10
I honestly preferred Rogue One over The Last Jedi.
swedishbutthurtguy
We all preferred R1 compared to The Last Snowflake
DevonGronka
Thank_you.gif
Joletti
Hear hear!
Perkunas687
TFA broke my heart, Rogue One healed me up.
apenguinsafari
I recently rewatched Rogue One and I cannot agree more. I think Rogue One is a much, much better film than TLJ in many respects.
SavageScourge
like every single one (aspect, that is)
apenguinsafari
Nah, TLJ is a better B comedy than Rogue One. Got you there!
earlgreyG
The New Saga seems like a compromise between the Original Trilogy and the Prequels. They have *some* grit, but are overall pretty cutesy.
ManWithItch
Same
vipe650r
It was the rebellion from everyone else’s perspective - normal people. No powers, no saviors. Sacrifice and gray areas. War.
thegreatpablo
RedLetterMedia does a great review that covers why I don't like it. It's mostly bland, unlikable characters with unclear character arcs.
wjapple
Hate? Are those the same people that say Black panther is the first balck super hero film?
pancreas
The haters have some legitimate complains with the actual character arcs actually. They're not your racist strawmen.
Electrogourd
it filled SO many plot holes. My favorite Star Wars movie of all of them honestly.
CyanideSprite
And created a new one. Vader shouldn't have been able to follow Leia through hyperspace. That tech wasn't around yet as TLJ established.
IKnowYouHateMeYes
Honestly, it was just a decent movie. It repeated many mistake that Star Wars movies make, but it did have the redeeming quality of 1/2
IKnowYouHateMeYes
2/2 not always letting the Rebels be ridiculous OP and everyone surviving.
msa011
That's, like, your opinion man
IKnowYouHateMeYes
That it was decent? Yes. However, the fact that the Empire soldiers can't aim for shit or seem to have zero training in the most dire 1/2
IKnowYouHateMeYes
2/2 moments is based on objective observation.
msa011
I don't mind expanding my suspension of disbelief to enjoy the action, acting and visuals. I won't even justify with stupid fan theories.
twohearteddoctor
I mean the ppl who hate star wars the most are star wars ‘fans’
Ghlain
I agree, if was good to see other parts of this massive universe that doesn't revolve around space wizards.
gnikcuftihs
Mostly just the last jedi
twohearteddoctor
Or you know the three other movies
ThomsonI
And Empire when it first came out. And Return of the Jedi as well.
kmikl
Which ones? I know people that utterly loathe ANH/TESB/ROTJ
lolzomg123
Yeah, but /r/Prequel memes....
HypersonicHero
star wars fans hated it? That's dumb, personally I dislike 7 and 8 but Rogue One was probably the best SW movie made.
coldwargofast
You’re 100% right. I’ve been a SW fan for decades and neither myself or my friends have anything but contempt for nuWars bullshit
HypersonicHero
"Hey here's 100,000 some odd pages of material written following episode 6 spanning 100+ years, and here is a paper shredder"
HypersonicHero
"Lets just re use every plot point of the last three films and some of the cartoons."
HypersonicHero
That minute and a half of vader, holy fuck
Wynrel
The best thing I saw in a theater for years. Rogue One was breathtaking, and maybe my fav SW movie.
TotallyHappyCustomer
I hate how real this is. Love something for having ever existed, don't hate it because it existed imperfectly. Especially Star Wars.
DarkGrimness
Amen.
QysteinWibe
I am a huge(!) Star Wars fan. I loved Rogue One, but I hate(!) episode 7&8. They ruined the legacy of Luke, and made the previous movies
misterturdcat
Right because people dont change after years of war and emotional battles revolving around family and a literal galaxie that depends on you.
misterturdcat
Luke tried, failed and gave up. He came around in his last moments to save those he cared about and succeede. His legacy ended just fine.
vudak
They might have ruined your head-canon of luke, but that was all.
Muszkatela
they didn't ruin anything, It's just you didn't like it. I also didn't like 8, but Luke was one of the most interesting characters in it
HypersonicHero
Heres how they ruined them: What was the point of 4, 5, 6? We're fighting the same battle decades later. Where is the new republic?
HypersonicHero
What did they do after episode 6? It feels like nothing, where is the republic army? The new senate? What were they fighting for?
QysteinWibe
(including Rogue One) more or less invalid and the people in it stupid.
twohearteddoctor
Your not that huge of a fan then
Fatclaw
With that reasoning anyone who liked Bill Cosby have to forgive what he did, otherwise they wouldnt be true fans.
dpidcoe
I can't speak for him, but I used to be a huge star wars fan and I agree with him 100% about those 3 movies.
QysteinWibe
"An argument"
TheGreatAnhey
I personally didn't like it. They killed their best actors off too early and the other characters weren't memorable Except L-2SO and Imwe
TheGreatAnhey
I would forgive it but I thought the action was also weak. A lot of pew pew oh no more troops, pew pew, oh no more troops, pew pew oh no
TheGreatAnhey
The space battles and Darth Vader were fucking orgasmic though and I heard Disney's deadline messed up the editing but Im a Bigger fan of
CyanideSprite
Someone described the Vader scene as like Hulk Hogan tearing through a pre ripped t shirt. Doesn't really have any bite to it if you know
CyanideSprite
There's no threat to him in the first place. I wasn't too impressed by it because I was still reeling from how poorly written the chars were
TheGreatAnhey
The new series rather than the old so what do I know lol
HeartOfKyber
*psssshhht it's forbidden to like the new ones* /s
HitandRyan
I think the characters in the new main movies are far weaker.
gnikcuftihs
They really are. Finn got left behind, we could of developed poe more but he became treason ous for some reason. Rose shouls of been poe.
TheGreatAnhey
In some cases I would agree with you, I thought Finn could've had a lot better development if they didn't handcuff that Asian girl to him
HitandRyan
Rey is an instant expert at everything. I forgot Poe was a character in TFA.
TheGreatAnhey
I agree. TFA had a lot of flaws but I thought the chemistry between the actors made up for it. It's unfortunate Ford wanted to die so soon
