ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY (2016) MOVIE REACTION - FIRST TIME WATCHING! WOW!
Ойын-сауық
Welcome to our first time watching Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016).
We were not expecting that ENDING !!
We had a great time watching this! A fast-paced action/war film in science-fiction setting, and it genuinely feels like a Star Wars film. Written by Chris Weitz and Tony Gilroy and Directed by Gareth Edwards starring Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn.
We thought this is one of the best Star Wars films and were really impressed. The balance of fan service with good story feels right and is tasteful. And wow, that ending. Hope you enjoy our reactions, commentary and discussion as we watch it for the first time from two different generations. We both found it jaw dropping, great fun and exceptional filmmaking.

Hey All, Hope you enjoy this Reaction. We had a really entertaining time together. From one perspective as an Original Trilogy fan and the other being fresher, younger eyes to the franchise. As you can see, we enjoyed the big surprises in it!. In retrospect, we think it's culturally interesting to see these perspectives side by side. There is scope now to view the other Star Wars films. We picked up on a few Easter Eggs in there - but I bet we missed some! We have released this in time for Saturday - so May The 4th Be With You! Ps. There's an Star Wars related photo at the very last 5 seconds of the video, 100 points awarded if you can say where it was taken.

Can you go to the Star Trek franchise, there is about 53 years of TV series and movies to check out for reactions. Its easy to follow of the timeline from the 22nd century to the 25th century and a time jump series that goes to the 32nd century.

@@GenerationMediaReaction well the first series is Star Trek: Enterprise at the start of the 22nd Century, Star Trek: Stranger New worlds, Star Trek: The Original Series and the first 6 movies with Star Trek: The Motion picture is the first movie that crew completed a 5 year mission and they are reunited after the Enterprise gets a full refit. Star Trek 2 The Wraith of Khan is a revenge movie that is linked to an episode of the Original Series. Star Trek 3 and 4 are a continuation from Star Trek 2. Star Trek 5: The final frontier is to do with meeting god. Star Trek 6 is an assassination story from making piece with the klingons are set in the 23rd Century. Star Trek 7: Generations finishes a story from the 23rd century moving to the 24th century where Star Trek: The next generation takes places. There are a few TV series set in the 24th Century. and 5 more movies. There is also 3 animated series Star Trek: Lower Decks is like a funny version and Star Trek Prodigy. Let me know where you think you would like to start. Its a totally different universe than Star Wars which I am watching this reaction right now and I like how you both hangout watching movies. So you could go with a revenge Star Trek 2 about super humans left stranded on a planet by the Enterprise exiled for crimes against humanity The Enterprise never bothered to go back and check up on them. So you could do movies Star Trek 5: Meeting god or is it? Star Trek 6 an assassination attempt by some one and fingers get pointed at the captain. Let me know what you think about choosing and I will advise if its a good place to start.

I agree that ESB is the best of the original trilogy by a hair over ANH but think this was a very good film, definitely the best of the Disney films. They based it on the line from the original's title crawl and didn't deviate from the assignment.

It was though, if you think of it, a few minutes, or even hours later, when Vader does catch up to them at the beginning of ep. IV, when she says "I'm a member of an Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan" Vader should just go: "What are you talking about. I was literally there, not a day ago, and saw you, personally, escape with the plans" :D
Watching Dad link the story slowly was magical. Especially the Tarkin and Red Five reveal. I assure the experience was identical for me in the theater.

As others have said, Andor is incredible. I think that people are underestimating your son honestly.

He doesn't seem to get bored as easy as other kids his age might.

@rikk319 but in LotR, Gandalf doesn't TRULY die; you're referring to the 'fake-out' death trope, which is common for heroes and MCs, however, only villains ever ACTUALLY fall to their death. It was the WAY Han died that made Force Awakens so shocking; like a Disney villain. It's also what made Rise of Skywalker so insulting: that Palpatine somehow survived his fall/death - they broke their own rule.
Watching the Dad's face in this reaction video was a treat, especially when Governor Tarkin appears on screen and his jaw fell open. I was cracking up watching you mentally process what you were witnessing... knowing Peter Cushing passed away years ago. It was so easy to see your brain doing the mental math and the numbers just weren't adding up. I loved it! 😆

Thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed it! Wow what a film!
First off... Your son won't probably notice this right now but... I got very choked up when he fantasized about being the scrappy hero helping his dad fight bad guys at the beginning and you react with... Such emotion you can see and you say "I wouldn't want you to" and... You have a good heart sir. You obviously truly love your son very much. I hope you both can maintain this kind of relationship even as you both age. As for this movie... Truly the BEST post ROTS SW film in my opinion. I understand for some it may be too grim but... That's fine. SW is big enough to be interpreted so many ways. It contains multitudes. The creatives crafted a tense, action packed and emotional story with some strong things to say about the personal sacrifices and politics of opposing Authoritarian regimes. Also it is gorgeous to look at. They realized the lived in and grimey look of ANH era. Frankly any break from Jedis and Sith and the force was very welcome. This IS a story of an armed insurrection trying to overthrow a government afterall and that aspect comes through gangbusters. And that is why I understand it HAS to have the ending it does. Luke's success was built on the blood and tears of the movement that came before him. And of course... They didn't abandon the Force characters entirely because... THAT HALL SEQUENCE. Vader was SCARY again. The Empire was scary again in the whole film. I can't praise this movie enough. The exact same creative team for this film sans Edwards, also did ANDOR and while that's also not everyone's cup of tea I would HIGHLY suggest you give that series its day in court. Diego retirns as Andor playing the character before he joined the Rebellion. It's just AMAZING. If this really was your cup of tea give ANDOR whirl definitely. I expect your facial expressions probably matched my own as soon as I finished it during its original release so I think you aree intrigued about this ccorner of the SW universe.

The more memorabilia you brought out, the more I knew you would enjoy this particular film
The Star Wars series "Andor" is all about Cassian Andor's backstory and how he joined the Rebellion.. great series I recommend!
To help fill in the storyline: R2D2 and C3PO were there because Captain Antilles was there. In "Star Wars: A New Hope", C3PO tells Luke that "Our last master was Captain Antilles".

C3PO and R2 were at Yavin 4 when the small fighters were taking off, and a decent amount of time after the large ship had joined the battle. Captain Antilles didn't take them with him. So i guess the Leia's ship docked to the Admiral Raddus ship mid battle?
I think this is the best Star Wars movie that Disney has made. It put the “war” in Star Wars! Loved how it connected to A New Hope! Plus the Disney series “Andor” is a prequel to the main guy in this film.

This isn't a criticism of any kind. It's just an unavoidable fact of such movies.

The only thing that is less than perfect for me is that Jen and Andor and then most of the rebel attack squad died in order to destroy the death star but the empire didnt fall, and even a decade later ANOTHER DEATH STAR and 20 years later AN EVEN BIGGER DEATH STAR. We never really get a full feeling of victory.

I also binge-bought 155 of the Expanded Universe / Legends era novels in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

when you started talking about the sequel trilogy, I was going to make a comment about how they did not think it out, which was the problem and then you said it spot on. This would have been so good if they had an outline. We want to go from this point and end at this point. Because what happened is they brought in these different directors, they wanted to take their own spin on the story, and everything just felt jumbled and incoherent.

I’ve not really enjoyed Star Wars outside the original trilogy, but this was really enjoyable.
Hahahaha - Run Forest, run!!
The film is intentionally confusing to convey the whole concept of the "fog of war" where no one is to be trusted, people make mistakes and sometimes the best decisions are cruel and ugly in a real war. For example, when Cassian kills the man who gave him the message... he killed him because he could see he was about to be captured by stormtroopers because his arm was broken. He knew the Empire would have tortured him and found out what he knew, so in that moment, killing him was a merciful act. But for most viewers, that is too hard to grasp on the first viewing, we're left not fully understanding why it happened but that's intentional. We're not allowed to fully understand Cassian is really a good guy (forced to do terrible things) who later turns out to be a great hero. That's what war is really like and each time you watch this film, pieces fall in place in your mind and you understand it more. I've watched this film an almost embarrassingly large number of times and it is for me an official addition to the the original "trilogy". For me, it's a perfect Star Wars film. (I was 11 years old in 1977 so, I'm an ORIGINAL fan)

Good observation with Cassian. It's a lot to take in first viewing. It read as Cassian killing him, maybe because he ratted him out to the stormtroopers. I wasn't sure.

A Father who loves his Son
Couldn't agree more regarding the sequel trilogy. It's so frustrating that they didn't have a story outline stretching over all three films. (I just cannot understand how one can set out to make a trilogy but does not think about the main plot points of the whole story before starting with the first film...) The actors are great, the production value is obviously high but the story is an incohesive, inconsistent mess. And because of that it feels like Disney didn't care about Star Wars or its fans. "Rogue One" is great, though. --- On another note: Do you know "A Goofy Movie"? It's a funny and heartwarming story about the love/relationship between father and son and how it changes when the little one grows up. Might be a good fit for you. ;)
So, there are two shows that really connect with this movie (and are both excellent in their own way in my opinion). 1. Star Wars: Rebels, a animated series more designed for kids though I think it has more than enough content for adults as well AND it actually is in my opinion the single biggest source of Lore in modern day StarWars (yes, even more than the much more famous Clone Wars animated Series, at least in my opinion, since this one is important for the time-period of the original trilogy where most modern productions take place). I think Rebels actually has some of the best new characters in StarWars (characters that weren't created through the original trilogy). It also has quite good stories and almost more importantly incredible World Building if you really look deeper. The only gripe I have is that some more serious scenes can fall a bit flat, probably somewhat due to this still being a kids show 2. Andor, the Live-Action Series that shows us Casian Andor and other important people of the Rebellion from 5 years BBY (Before Battle of Yavin, so before Rogue One and the Original Trilogy) until right up to Rogue One (in the second season that is not out yet). I think based on the fact that you two really got invested in some deeper aspects of Rogue One as well, that you both could really enjoy this show. It is a bit slower but that only emphasis everything it's good at, specifically the drama, character-interactions and world building. - Both shows are I think the best two shows out there for StarWars right now and they both expand the world extremely well, especially for this time-period and in the case of Rebels even beyond it. - Both shows actually start at the same time (5 BBY) though Andor will with it's second season be a bit further along in the timeline (Rebels stops in about 1 BBY at the end of it's forth season)

You really should watch the prequels I didn't like them that much when I first saw them but the older they get the better that get. Plus it tells the earliier lore of the Skywalkers
Nothing wrong with fan service 😉 best SW movie easily IMHO and as some have said Andor is best SW content out there but Top 10 series all time ... But it is mature in its dialouge in regards to understanding....

I think it comes down to the type of fan service. Or where the writing of it comes from. Like making Obi Wan and Vadar fight in a TV series is not the same level of fan service as seen in this film (Death sentence guy on Jedda, Red 5, T16, X-Wing pilots etc)

Only messing with you , it's my bond sense of humour ! I saw Rouge one in the cinema Christmas 2016 I think I thought it was one of the best stand alone Star Wars films . There is another one called Solo but I remember it being not so good ! I suppose you've seen the Mandalorian series, I thought they were good .
he's seen the original movies, but had no idea who Peter Cushing was ? Good lord...

@@Spottedfeather It's not a wild stretch of belief that child can't remember one character from a trilogy they watched years ago. Looks to me the kid was responding to his dad's disbelief of seeing Peter Cushing and therefore riding on that reaction. From the video, there's a lot of other things that are worth far more to comment on than this.
Governor Tarkin was brought back by AI and CGI.
I had to listen twice at 0:37 . Turns out you did say, “clowns“. It’s when you were trying to say. “Attack of the Clones.

I remember watching this and wasn't enjoying it so turned it off. Fast forward a few years, I see someone here reacting to it and damn karma hit me like a ton of bricks when I saw the scene with vader. Had no idea he was even in it
Did you guys ever get around to watching Small Soldiers? If not, It's a good one. Like gremlins but the with toys.

Let go of your feelings on the prequels special effects. They are still pretty good stories.
I recommend a reaction to Scene 38 redone. You’ll love it.

When I saw this "Star Wars" movie, I hoped that Sanity had returned to Lucasfilm. "Solo" left me with no doubt that the lunatics were still running Lucasfilm, so I "put 'Star Wars' in my rear view mirror"...forever.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. You might be right, but lots of comments are saying Andor is good (?)
Reposting comment I really enjoyed your reaction. Your excitement made this even better to watch. Your knowledge is strong 💪🏻 My fav part was when Vader turned on the light saber 😎 Check out this One person made a Star Wars anime short movie. Its called “TIE Fighter - short film” by OtaKing Animation, there is a copy floating about so make sure you watch the real one by this guy. Also love Kelly's Heroes 👍🏻 Many thx looking forward to more 🇬🇧🙌🏻🙇🏻♂️

Wow, an excellent piece of work! thanks for pointing us towards that!
Seeing Vader in his prime would mean during the 19-year gap between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. Coincidentally, that is when the Obi-Wan Kenobi series is set. (Just sayin'.) You might not be a big fan of the Prequel films, so maybe Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan isn't your cup of tea, but some of the best, most vicious, most brutal, live-action Vader scenes are in this series.

"A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi knights. He betrayed and murdered your father. Now the Jedi are all but extinct." THIS is was needs to be seen, but felt they killed off too many Jedi in Revenge of Sith.
The problem with the sequels is the lack of Lucas.

Not a fan of those trilogies. Haven’t shown them to the lad. Have considered showing the prequels though, kind of like an experiment to see what he thinks. Maybe as reaction videos. Could be entertaining if it proves what we all have known all along
agreed the prequels are the worst just unwachable cheap cgi mess
You should watch A Monster Calls (2016) together. Heavy film, but very meaningful and insightful. Nawmsayin? 😛
This was the last good Star Wars movie IMO.
As Gen-X this was totally badass...the way it ties together using CGI (successfully) ... another impressive tie in with a classic movie is THE THING w Kurt and the newer remake....🔥🔥🔥🔥
When they made this movie they wanted to remind the audience WHY Darth Vader was the most feared in the galaxy and they did a excellent job....one of the most powerful 15-30 seconds of film to date🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I’m sure the two of you have seen this movie already off camera but you should do some Terry Pratchett movies like the hog father or the color of magic I think the color of magic would be a great movie to react to
