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!
Rogue one is the best modern star wars movie released. The perfect hybrid of modern visual effects but staying true to the source. Masterpiece
It's the best Star Wars movie released period.
@@teteradelabestia 6:24 the best moment of star wars period, in my opinion.
It did not deserve the hate it revived. This film was better than the last Skywalker saga films
@@enriqueplata2026recibió odio? No me lo imagine con lo perfecta que es
If only the others were like this.
This whole battle felt like battlefront with no heroes it was awesome
So very awesome 👌
Exactly what I was thinking, that moment when the U-Wing landed it was like you just captured a new point and reinforcements started spawning right beside you.
That's so true
Other than Vader at the end lol
@@RogueJyn thats even better. You and your squad take a point from the enemy after a hard fought battle only to see vader walk around the corner and slaughter everyone and undo all your hard work.
Imagine if we’d of got this level of care and passion put into the sequel movies
The Resistance/New Republic should’ve been much much bigger and should’ve deployed to Starkiller Base.
Don’t remind us 😔
@@ramblinnernd5905 Starkiller base should never have existed, just lazy storytelling
@fransesco9703 ramble alert I felt the same for a long time and it kind of is, but then I thought “what if it was just the weapon that was crippled permanently and the rest of the planet functioned as a mobile capitol planet for the First Order and that the Resistance was called the Republic instead with large amounts of fleets left over?” TFA at the very least set the characters up. TLJ sucked. TROS had some good character chemistry. I don’t like the sequels as a whole but they had SOME good ideas. They just weren’t used properly. “Sorry for the mess.”
Even if Lucas cared about the prequels this much too, instead doing his whole drama/politics BS, we could've had the best single action series run in movies
What I love about this battle is it completely explains (retroactively) why the rebels had so few forces to send against the Death Star in A New Hope. They had just gotten into a major engagement at Skariff
Ah that's why just 3 or 4 ships got destroyed and the others could escape... dude this comment ist more than stupid.
@@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.)
@@dianamon2727a Corvette was already seen heavily damaged during the battle against 2 ISD's and starfighter units we're also lost many numbers vaders arrival decimated the profundity along with the other ships who were unable to jump to hyperspace
@@dianamon2727 The Death Star attack was all strike craft, and you can see them die by the dozen in this clip. AND they were coming from Yavin as well, so good luck getting replacements quickly, that was the main Rebel base.
@@dianamon2727you miss the part where a select few ship make the jump before Vader’s Star Destroyer arrives and decimates the majority of the fleet? Good effort though.
This battle actually maintained some semblance of military discipline. Squadrons fighting in formation, no stupid jokes or unnecessary fly boy maneuvers. The Empire actually looked dangerous, competent, and inflicted serious losses on the Rebel fleet.
Cut to Red 5 running away and getting clapped lol
@@PsychSoldier756 Had to give Luke that call sign one way or another 😂
Are you saying this was better than Poe's prank call against the leader of the enemy? /sarcasm
Did Anybody see the Ghost from Star Wars Rebels taking out a Tie fighter at 5:08 !!!!!!!?????
@@walterbezerra753that’s a cool add in thanks for the call out!
1:56 I can’t imagine how much of a morale booster that sight most be, seeing 6 x wings and a troop transport
Seeing them _after_ they take out the AT-AT that was about to obliterate you, no less.
@@FrozenxDeath well AT-ACT, it has significantly less armor then a at at
12 X-Wings actually apparently
For anything like that, you'd probably have to ask a WW2 vet what it was like to have close air support save the day by obliterating a German panzer.
They probably weren't even expecting to get reinforcements. The Rebellion hauled ASS when they heard about the battle on Scariff.
Out of ALL the Star Wars movies that were made by Disney, this 1 is by far the best
without a doubt
Honestly of all the Star Wars films made this the best full stop
Not just that, it's the best since Empire Strikes Back, or Return of the Jedi depending how i'm feeling about it on a given day. comfortably a better film than all the prequels though. of which only ROTS is even close to being good.
@@glynrh8892 Nah, Empire still has it beaten imo.
while this is an amazing movie, "Best of Disney Star Wars" if you don't include Rogue One is not much of a challenge
I love how all of the pilots retain the same old-timey radio cadence from the OT, very subtle but great attention to detail.
Agreed - they took OT dialogue and meshed it seamlessly into this wonderful set of scenes. Makes me want "Rogue Squadron" to be a real movie... no more Rey crap, please.
yeh i appreciated that they tried to stick close to the original visuals as much as they could
Guys They actually used footage from the original movie That's why they seem so close to the original It's because they ARE the originals (Red and Gold) Blue is the modern actorsm
I love how you can see at 6:43 the corvette is still lodged in the star destroyer as it crashes into the shield, trapped in death's embrace. They didn't know it but they saved the galaxy with that move
I think in the book that came with the movie it was said that most of the crew escaped in pods after the impact
@jamesmacfarlane3196 to be captured and tortured by Imperial forces, if they survived, no doubt
Many fans have analysed the scene and found that most of its escape pods had ejected. The most likely scenario is that they rigged the sub-light engines to run at full throttle and abandoned ship.
@@jamesmacfarlane3196I dont even think they survived cuz of the death star
@@marcusjuliangarcia7693yeah they still died. Rip light maker.
Blue Squadron was meant to be in the OT but was change to Red due to the blue marking interfering with the Blue Screen. Loved how they show to an actual in canon reason as why Blue Squadron didn't participate. Probably the real MVP of this fight.
Now that we think about it, Red Squadron's existence is essentially created out of a sort of retcon. Then the Legends elitists lose their mind with Rogue One with its "retcons" with Galen and the exhaust port, this battle, etc.
In my head canon the remnants of Blue Squadron who survived the battle of Skariff were then absorbed into Red Squadron.
@@Fedaykin24 "In my head canon the remnants of Blue Squadron who survived the battle of Skariff were then absorbed into Red Squadron." And this is exactly what happened in WWII on all sides in all theatres of conflict, which lends even more credence to the the idea of "Star Wars being WWII in space."
@@jimheimerl1637nah,thats the sequels,the firts order have the dame colores that nazi are representes un pop culture
No doubt about it. They were the MVP. Blue squadron, may the force be with you
That hammerhead corvette scene and the descent of the destroyer on the shield gate felt almost religious and ethereal. the Force, I'll always love Rogue One.
The director knew when to slow things down. The Death Star firing on Jedha and Scariff also had a slow-motion feel.
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.
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
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.
That feeling when Gold and Red Leader appeared on the screen when I watched Rogue One for the first time in cinema, just incredible! Thats how Star Wars should be @Sequels…
Speaking of Red and Gold Leader, my 4K Despecialized Battle of Yavin video has been restored 😉
I nearly sh*t myself from excitement when Red and Gold leader called in.
So you want the sequels to just be fan service and homages to the OT?
yes@@TheSkizz89
@@TheSkizz89The sequals are already fan service
After this Disney decided never to make a good movie again
LMAO
Sad but true, because it had rules to follow Because in-between 3 and 4 episode
After this movie Kathleen Kennedy went all in with her agenda. According to Hollywood rumor this film was much worse and more in-line with what came after before all the reshoots.
Walt would not recognize his creation today.
The X-Wing coming out of hyperdrive with the Star Wars theme playing is just so perfect
Yeah. Really aww by it myself.
It looked so good in the cinema
Seriously some of the best flight coreography in cinema. Everything feels so _kinetic_ and fast as hell, yet it's crystal-clear and easy to follow.
They did it so much justice
Thats the reason of why it feels so good to watch this scenes
shout out to the monkey gunner :( he was a real one
RIP monkee gunner 😔
Monkee Gunner was out there putting belt to ass.😢
Monkee gunner was my brother! I loved him :(
Monkee gunner was there for my 5th birthday. Sad to see someone you know gone.
"that armor's too thick for blasters!" But not for monkey gunner and that heavy repeater.
7:38 "Rogue One: May the Force be with you!" That tugs your heart!
And then Vader's ship came...
Fun fact: the Battle of Scarif is the reason that the main Rebel base could only field thirty one-man fighter craft against the Death Star at the subsequent Battle of Yavin.
All the Rebel Alliance needed was 1 strong user of the Force ...
@@swampwiz problem is that they kept losing their Force users until Luke turned up
This scene is so heroically done it almost brings me to tears
Almost?
Wtf you saying I'm crying 😭
It ALMOST got me
Don't lie, you're crying
The hammerhead captain had a better story and backstory then those other Star Wars movies made by the mouse
It was a beautiful arc, literally.
RIP hammerhead captain and his crew, they did pretty big sacrifice just to open that shield
@@itoyokocho.mp4 they didnt die no ?
@@frantisekbabic9683 If you watch the scene where the Persecutor plows into the shield gate you can see that the Hammerhead is still stuck in that little nook it wedged itself into all the way until they collide.
@@frantisekbabic9683 Even if they did make it to the escape pods and even if another rebel ship picked them up immediately, they still most likely died when Vader's arrival destroyed most of what was left of the rebel fleet.
"Rogue One" - The one post-Lucas "Star Wars" project with an ACTUAL space battle.
Are you forgetting the really cool slow motion pointless space chase?
Whoever made these scenes definitely didn't have the Disney mentality.
They had a "STAR WARS" mentality.
I mean, I think they had exactly the mentality Disney did. "Make something that makes heavy use of a very very popular IP and lean on the nostalgia". They just did it more effectively than the sequel Trilogy did. Rogue One's basically an attempt to pack in as many references as they could in a 1970s fashion as possible. It's a great movie, but let's not kid ourselves about what it was. It was a cash grab as well.
@@Summersong2262 id say whoever wrote it definitely was cooking at the very least, its clear that the writing wasnt just looking to cram it with nostalgia bait and actually wanted to show how the rebels stole the DS plans
Well they put women and minorities into this battle. So this movie was still called "woke" by chuds 🤷♂️
@@BitrateBilly I mean that's the whole thing, it WAS crammed with nostalgia bait, end to end. It wasn't very creative at all. Don't get me wrong, I loved the writing and story, the IMPLEMENTATION was skilled, but it was clearly what it was.
0:27 that entrance will forever be fucking amazing
You can see the ghost flying around at 5:08 from the bridge.
OH SH¡T!!!! 😂❤ Didnt notice that before!!! That's awesome.
This is how you make an Easter egg
Also, if you've seen Rebels, you can HEAR the Ghost's guns going off after the TIEs at 5:04 as they make their attack run on the Profundity, followed by it peeling off from it's pursuit at the 5:08 mark. It's also visible from a side-on profile at 5:01 on the far side of the Profundity, on the left side of the screen. Very nice cameo.
Wtf are you talking about?
@@drunksquirrel2051I think they are talking about that small ship gunning down a tie-fighter. That ship is called ghost, the flagship from starwars rebel series. Inside contains the main cast of the series. Ezra Bridget, Sabine Wren, Hera Syndulla etc.
1:17 "Close the field aperture now! Close it!" "I'm sorry but WHO put you in charge?"
"THE BLOODY EMPEROR NOW CLOSE THE FRIGGING SHIELD!!!"
Maxim 2: A Sergeant in motion outranks a Lieutenant who doesn't know what's going on.
i always love each time the announcer would lastly say "may the force be with you" gotta give the rebels a good boost of morale
Imagining if this was broadcasted over some underground news network across the galaxy wouldve been extra tough.
Fun fact: That’s the voice of David Ankrum, the same guy who voiced Wedge Antilles in A New Hope.
THIS IS GOLD LEADER STANDING BY!
THIS IS BLUE LEADRR STANDING BY!

@@JeroldBoy0407wrong movie 💀
@@thiccchungo1041 Still felt like saying it lmao
The best space battle in Star Wars since Return of the Jedi!
Somebody's never seen revenge of the sith.
@@davecrupel2817 I watched Revenge of the Sith at a midnight screening the day it was released. It had a space battle but not as good as the one in Rogue one or Return of the Jedi. Throwing lots of items on the screen does not make for a good space battle.
@@Fedaykin24the Revenge of the Sith space battle wasn’t really presented as a space battle like it was in this film, it was a giant furball that Anakin and Obi Wan were hauling ass through to get to Palpatine
Yessir
@@davecrupel2817hell no this battle was way better than the revenge of the sith one
Boomer Five reporting in. I was boots on the ground in '77, I had NO idea where life was going to take me, but I knew it would involve Star Wars. It did. I met the person I married. Met my best friend. I became an entertainment writer. And we waited 39 YEARS for THIS movie and it was WORTH every minute that we lived to get there. I was sitting with my FAMILY that night in a theater that was on its feet screaming, yelling, crying and losing its mind -- just like we did in1977. To this day it was the FIRST time I was truly terrified of Vader, and it was ALL of us. (and there was much excellent Force Yeeting! going on -- look, I'm old, but I'm still 12, and you know I still show up in costume.) Thanks for cutting this. See if you can spot the Ghost in her first Live Action role.
We need more fans like you sir
I remember watching this with my da who was five when anh came out; he was so excited for this it was actually quite funny
Spot on about Vadar. That corridor scene gives me chills.
You have to love Vader using the SSD to its fullest by being highly aggressive. Really does go to show if the two other SSDs had been less cautious and pressed the assault they could have won this.
Plotarmor and plotaim.....
This wasn’t the SSD, it was the Devastator which Vader had upgraded throughout the years to be more offensive based as opposed to the more outdated versions that inevitably fell during the battle.
We don't know the specific loadouts those ISDs were deployed with, could've been budget versions meant for patrol duty with reduced weaponry and garrison and also inexperienced crew overwhelmed by the sudden appeareance of the entire Rebel fleet.
@@Burstnoktrue I highly doubt anyone in the star destroyers or the shield apparatus would've expected a full out attack on a base full of mostly unimportant plans.
Actually when you think about it, you can consider the options of the Admiral in the ISD; 2 ISDs aggresively engage the Rebel fleet or have the Shield gate take the damage for you while awaiting reinforcements. Plus it being a planetary shield also means the rebels would take a long time to bring down the shield
Rogue One had such superior attention to detail versus the Disney Sequels. The camera framing up only Jyn Erso's hand clutching her kyber crystal while they're waiting to hear if their shuttle codes clear or not for example is such a subtle artistic version of JJ's hamfisted 'uh Rey is going to do a Jedi Mind Trick for reasons.'
I love The Battle Scarif. It's basically Space Vietnam. The uniforms for the Rebel SOG Rouge One are US Vietnam uniforms, some of the blasters are sci-fi-ed M16s and M4s and that one space fighter that has variable swept wings has a sci-fi-ed M60 for a door gun.
Wellllll I'll say my vietnamese grandfather would see it another just saying lol
Yeah but not how you think - the rebels were inspired by the Vietcong and the Empire was based on Nixonian America (+the British/Roman Empires & Nazi Germany)
@@joh2434the rebels are a mix of Vietcong and US soldiers really.
I really wish the main force of the Rebel alliance looked like this, it's so much more cool than the weird futuristic 80s space city farmers fatigues with penis helmets.
Honestly I would say that Endor was Vietnam
That shot of the Death Star on the horizon is one of the best in Star Wars. So gorgeous.
That huge grin on Blue Leaders face alone was better than anything the rest of Disney Wars did in their movies.
WOW! What an edit! Rogue One and Andor are pretty much the only salvageable things from Disney Star Wars. These sequences are simply magnificent!
What about the Mandalorian show?
@@luishernandezsoto Right, I'll say seasons 1 and 2 were actually good. 3 was crap.
Andor kicks so much ass it's unreal
@@BoeBins I also enjoy The Bad Batch.
Ashoka and the Mandolorian were both good shows
Now this is a battle. Everything about it is absolutely epic. Especially considering the rebels lost a lot of numbers
No.. not everything is epic. look at the hammerhead scene. this whole scene makes no sence in a scientific way or a star wars way.
@@dianamon2727 you wouldn't know epic if it bitch slapped you in the face.
How does it not make scientific sense when there's the existence of tugboats?
Hammerhead corvettes are literally used as tugboats for capital ships. If they have enough engine power in that tiny frame to pull a capital ship (even in zero-g), they defo have enough engine power to push an ISD into another ISD. It also helps that the ISDs in question have been ion torpedo-ed.
@@firesturmgaming Yeah they would push a ship into another but they would never enough powerfull to destroy the secound ship like that. It would just make a little impact and than nothing because it would never push two ships.
About time to see this back up on KZhead. I remember back in 2017 this supercut was available, then Disney had it pulled for YEARS. Thank you for posting this.
Welcome and thank you for sharing your experience, and I appreciate your understanding. Dealing with copyright claims from Disney was indeed a headache. It reached a breaking point for me in 2018, and I had to step back from posting content. However, I'm grateful for viewers like you who remember and enjoy the videos. I'm glad to have the supercut back up and running, and your support means a lot. Thank you for sticking around!
You did such a fantastic job with this supercut. All the fun space battles in such a good movie.@@PrometheusOfVideos
I never got to see the originals or prequels in theaters, but I was able to watch Rogue One. Seeing Darth Vader, the rebels, the Death Star, even Tarkin, was a dream come true, and with my grandfather sitting right next to me who watched the original years before.
The scene with the "hammerhead" corvette ramming and bow thrusting the star destroyer is awesome!
The rebel fleet coming out of hyper space and ambushing the imperial forces in space was shocking as the imperial officers froze in disbelief. Thanks to a couple good officers they had the presence to react. What a great scene.
I'm pretty sure the moment I fell in love with star wars was when I saw a ship jump in from hyperspace. It feels cathartic and fresh Im not sure how to even put it into words. every single time.
0:26 this never gets old
Update: The Appeal was successful and this video will be up for the foreseeable future!
Ramble alert This whole movie is fan service and it’s AMAZING AT THAT! You can just tell this was made by fans with all the references to previous Star Wars media. There were quite a few Imperial Aces here. You can tell by the silver stripes on their helmets. “Widows Tears” is what they’re called. Badass name. The Empire is just sheer terror! The way all those fighters come out without a single crash! That’s what I call discipline! Red Leader and Gold Leader, holy cow are their voices awesome! The amount of chaos in this fight is just incredible!
This whole movie is fanservice done right and at the same time expands the story.
@@animeman8203 YES! It adds so much to the background and shows why Vader is so peeved at the beginning of ANH!
The battles were impressive but the dialogue and attention to detail were great. Rogue One was the Star Wars we needed
Star wars fan or not,you can agree this is a cinematic masterpiece
Disney should be taking notes! THIS is what STAR WARS is all about... Good vs Evil, David vs Goliath, heroism and sacrifice. Stop beating us over the head with DEI and THE MESSAGE (Critical Drinker voice reverb) and just give us a good STAR WARS story. It's not that hard
I can agree
One thing i love about Rogue One is with how much respect they treated Darth Vader
God bless whoever made this cut.
Thanks a bunch! I'm the one who actually put it together back in 2017, when Star Wars still had that magic touch... Glad you enjoyed the cut
The scene at end with hope still gets me emotional
A flying rotating X-Wing is such a beauty :)
(Minor correction, they'r called "Rolling" in flight's terms) And yup, theirs (x wing's) are beautiful.
@@thunderboltcougar5626 Thanks for the correction :)
They tried spinning. It's a good trick.
What makes this battle the best is that all the rebel ships are doing their work. The Profundity as a flagship was great. I love X-wings doing SEAD(supression of enemy air defense) on the shield gate before Y-wings start their attack run. As the battle continues, remaining X-wings form a flight group and engage Ties among their fleet. Smaller capital ships like the ghost moving around the flagship trying to shoot down Ties and hopefully reduce some firepower to the Profundity by surrounding it was also great.
The fighters really owned this movie, from that one Blue Squadron fighter going on a lone run to knock out the Star Destroyer’s shield generator to the use of old footage from the Original Trilogy to bring Gold and Red Leaders into the film, this space battle is baller
And the ion torpedoes from gold squadron being crucial to taking down the star destroyers. Y-wings always get portrayed as underwhelming, but they are actually really good. Especially in the novels and old X-wing games.
What made this film authentic was that the stakes were high and even good guys died. No plot armor here.
That's exactly what my daughter said. I watched it with her recently, and she found the end as unexpected as satisfying.
It was a sad ending and while I wished some would d have survived, it's more memorable and realistic that they did perish.
Why couldn't every recent Star Wars movie be this good?!
The black pilot from blue squadron is my favorite xwing pilot in the entire franchise.
Did he survive the battle? I always wondered
@@anonymousgaming. It's implied he survived because he went on to write the X-wing combat manual to help recruit new pilots. Apparently his story is expanded upon more in The Rebel Files reference book.
I assumed all of blue squadron died cuz they werent in the death star battle
@@tokomaminehira3999no, it was destroyed, but the survivors of blue were transferred over to red I think
I'd put him at par with Wedge Antillies.
This is one of my favourite Star Wars space battles Having the strengths of both factions on display imperial capital ships strength and the superior rebel fighters and bombers and the way the 2 Star destroyers are taken out with the superiority of rebel x-wings and y-wings over their imperial counterparts to disable a star destroyer to open it up do a daring move from a hammerhead corvette was some absolutely inspired direction, writing and cinematography.
It's so action packed and actually makes sense. As the u-wong crashes you can see like 2-3 stormtroopers go flying.
This is the best star wars space battle
Endor still tops it but this is the second best space battle of all time
My top 3: 1: Scarif 2:Endor 3:Coruscant
Rogue one is honestly the best piece of media Disney Star Wars has put out, they treated Vader with respect and turned unknown characters and their backstory into the best Disney Star Wars film
The crew of that hammerhead must have known that they were on a suicide mission. That's a brave move.
The Battle of Scarif is the greatest battle with lots of deaths in the history of Star Wars, IMO. So much courage in defiance of gigantic empire.
Every time i see that xwing roll in and dive for the gate my heart sings
The arrival of the fleet at skarif , with the music , sound effects truly captures the nostalgia & feel of the original trilogy, so much first time I seen Rogue One it took me back to 1977 as a kid and first viewing A New Hope
This movie did a fantastic job of reminding us that Star Wars is about a war and not just individual battles surrounding a few special characters. It also reminded me of when I was a kid and I felt immersed into the universe again. I wanted to join in and be an X-Wing Fighter Pilot. I completely forgot about a lot of the flaws
Excellent work. Thanks for pushing through the appeal process to show the work to the world.
Welcome and Thank you! I just hope it goes through okay. The whole Dispute process has changed around quite a bit since the last time I've used it. Some changes are welcomed while others I miss.
Hey Good News! the Appeal process has been successful and this video is now safe!
Man, I love the howl of the U-Wing whenever it flies by. Hearing it in the mix when Blue Squadron flies over Baze is just, mmm *chef's kiss*.
Thinking back to Andor - Luthen was certain he was condemned to toil in self-sacrificial obscurity. Well, THIS was the fruit of his labor.
The feels when Admiral Radish says "Rogue One may the force be with you".
I love, love, LOVE the shot from 02:14. It feels like playing with my Star Wars toys again in 1978.
5:37 props to the maintenance crew for getting right to business
his ship got hit 5 seconds ago and he just immediately starts soldering, what a guy
Remember when special effects actually looked good. It’s been so long since I actually believed the stuff on screen was actually real
5:54 That Hammerhead Corvette changed the course of the entire battle and the galaxy. Such legends :)
2:15 “We’re going in” Instant goosebumps. The music the sounds. Took me back to when I was a kid watching Star Wars for the first time.
8:24 Even in CG, it's good to see our princess again :D
Definitely feels good to see the TIE's being an actual threat once again without needing to have some main character behind the wheel to justify it. While it was still numbers advantage, they actually had legitimate presence in the battle, were rapidly claiming kills even as they lost ships and were posed as a legitimate threat to the Capital ships. Getting to have the pilot cam on the Imperial pilots with that black pilot suit and them being legitimately deadly makes the battle feel so much more tense.
*This Director really knows how to put the audience in the action*
Watching this battle in a theater is one I will never forget.
KEEP IT TIGHT AND WATCH OUT FOR THOSE TOWERS
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..
Easily the best Non animated space battle Ive ever seen. Even the goofy ramming looks too good to criticize.
😍I'm glad that this is back on KZhead. 5:08 - Ghost takes out a TIE-Fighter.
Ah yes, glad to know Hera is using Ghost’s plot armor to the very fullest
"No captain can do very wrong if he places his ship alongside that of the enemy" - Nelson.
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
This movie and Solo are the only Disney Star Wars movies that I have enjoyed watching over and over again, I just wish I could say the same thing for the sequel trilogy.
This is among the little amounts battle scenes in movies that actually give me goosebumps.
Disney need to study Rogue One
One of the best battles on all of star wars hands down. I still get a slight tear in my eye when I hear "Your father would be proud" start playing as the destroyer crashed into the shield gate
4:28 Absolutely love the TIE Strikers.
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
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...
4:14 R.I.P The original Red 5
He never had a chance of making it through this fight alive.
@@josiahmaldonado5977yeah
in the theater when the fleet arrives to Scarif everyone just started screaming like a madmen lol. and the Cinema did a pretty good mini Star Wars celebration with the lotteries, merch, a big banner with Star Wars galaxy's history and workers with Stormtrooper and Vader suits.
This is a Re-upLoad. Thank you
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.
This is one of the reasons why Rogue One isn't only defined by the vader scene in the end, one of the best space battles in Star Wars

Hands down the best Star Wars space battle
I love @2:49 you can see an X-Wing launch photon torpedoes to bring down the Walker.
I'm not full versed with the Star Wars lore, but a Hammerhead Corvette in Rogue One was pretty flippin' cool!
It appears to be homage to the “frigates” from Knights of the Old Republic (game / lore). Very similar shape and form. I also like the idea that possibly what was once considered the size of a frigate is (or could be) considered merely a corvette at a later time, much as in the modern world how what was long ago considered a cruiser (or light cruiser anyway) weighs about as much as a modern destroyer - as in ships have generally gotten much bigger over time.
kind of a strange feeling, when that pilot who was RED 5 bought it. I thought "oh, Luke Skywalker will be the replacement for him in Red Squadron".
(RED 5 broke formation) RED Leader talk to you : "Aaalmost thereeee...."
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
This is the only Disney Star Wars that made me feel like I was a kid again.
Wild how Disney produced this absolute banger AND Solo AND Andor, but can't figure out why the sequel trilogy gets criticized so much....
Because the sequel sucks.
