#RogueOne #starwars #videoessay

Have you ever wondered why this movie is called Rogue One? Sure the name of the team is Rogue One. But why did the writers choose that name? Why Rogue One? Well, Rogue One is the rogue one. At the time, there were 7 Star Wars movies, all a part of a saga. All titled Star Wars Episode 1-7. But in 2016 we were getting a new kind of movie, a spinoff movie. After this movie came out, there were 8 Star Wars movies, and this movie was the rogue one. So, Rogue One: A star wars story. All these years later. How did it turn out? It appears to be the most popular of the 5 Disney star wars movies for sure. In fact, its popularity arguably led one of the characters to get his own show on disney plus. If you were to look up Rogue One video essay, nothing but positive videos show up on the feed. So does this movie hold up as one of the best Star Wars movies. Did the experiment of star wars spinoff movies pay off? Did Rogue One add anything to the Star Wars mythos, or was it a simple cash grab? My name is the gold man, and let’s take a look at Rogue One: A Star Wars story all these years later.
One paragraph. All it took was one paragraph to inspire the creation of this movie. In 2003, the visual effects supervisor of the Star Wars prequel trilogy John Knoll suggested the idea of a story about the rebel spies who stole the plans to the death star. These concepts were used in a show George Lucas had called Star Wars underworld, even with a pilot being filmed. But the show was deemed too expensive and wasn’t made. Around 10 Years later when Disney bought the franchise, Knoll felt that he owed it to himself to pitch the idea again but this time to the disney execs. Lucasfilm was interested in creating spin-off movies with their Sequel Trilogy. And when Kathleen Kennedy heard the idea, she loved it. In May of 2014, Gareth Edwards was brought on as director of this spinoff movie, and Gary Witta would write the script. What the two of them wanted was to tell a war film. Star Wars does have the word wars in it, so tell a war story. Initially, the production of the film went smoothly. The script was finished, actors were hired, and filming began on August 8th, 2015. Gareth Edwards prior to Rogue One was best known for his Godzilla film. While the film was nothing special, if there was one thing Gareth Edwards understood was scale. Godzilla is a giant monster, and Edwards wonderfully conveyed that in his movie. With Rogue One, Edwards masterfully captured this scope and scale into Rogue One. Star Wars has always been known for its incredible visual effects. But I wouldn’t go as far to say that the original 6 Star Wars films had great cinematography. Sure there were some brilliant shots, but they didn’t dominate the films. Rogue One may be the most visually beautiful Star Wars film. It’s in a close tie with The Last Jedi. Regardless of how the story panned out, the visuals would at least be incredible. Another aspect of the production of the film that was rather interesting was the introduction of deep fake technology in movies. Since this movie took place directly prior to A New Hope, Edwards wanted to include Grand Moff Tarkin into the story. But since the two films were concurrent with each other, he didn’t want to recast the character.
