Conversely, it makes the digital face work for young Carrie Fisher stand out even more. I felt this was true of the impressive work to make Guy Henry look like Peter Cushing. CGI effects also gain some added definition lending more weight to their appearance. I was really impressed with the slums of Jedha and the intricate design work there. Simple textures in clothing and skin, as well as sets and production values, are instantly appreciable. This disc pops with detail! From the opening frames of Mads Mikkelsen's Galen Erso standing in the grass to the film's big final space battle, there's so much more to see. While the added color was appreciable, the low streaming bitrate didn't really add much clarity and to my eyes made the film look flat and a bit lifeless. Back when Disney+ launched with 4K Dolby Vision streams for all of the Star Wars films, I have to admit that I was underwhelmed. I'm a 3-D fan and Rogue One remains one of my favorite 3-D releases from the recent slate of Star Wars films so it's with a bit of curmudgeonly stubbornness that I admit that this new native 4K 2.39:1 HDR10 transfer is the best way to watch this film on disc. The disc loads to an animated main menu with traditional navigation options. The discs are housed in a standard two-disc black case with the 4K disc stacked on top of the bonus features Blu-ray disc with identical cardboard slipcover. I keep wanting to come back to it.ĭisney unleashes Rogue One to 4K in a three-disc 4K UHD Blu-ray + 2 Blu-ray + Digital set. It may not have been the smoothest production and it doesn't compare to something like Empire Strikes Back - but of the recent Star Wars adventures in the Disney/Lucasfilm tenure, it's the one that I get the most out of.

Some take issue with the final Vader sequence and even I have to admit that it's not necessary - but it's so cool I still get excited every time I see it! My only complaint of any of these nods is the final CGI Carrie Fisher moment being so freakishly unconvincing when you pair it against the impressive recreation of Governor Tarkin thanks to Guy Henry and some impressive and intricate visual effects work.Īt what now amounts to somewhere around my 10th viewing, I just enjoy this movie a little more every time I see it. I prefer to call these 'nods' than actual 'fan service.' Yes there are characters from A New Hope peppered throughout the movie but that feels more like an acknowledgment that these individuals existed within the sequence of events. It has structure issues and the well-noted reshoots are glaringly obvious, but I'm less bothered by what people call 'fan service' in this film.

Now that the Skywalker Saga is over, Solo was just okay, and The Mandalorian crushed it on Disney+ - I'm firmly in the camp that Rogue One was one of the best things to happen to Star Wars in the last few years.

The 3-D release only strengthened that position. When I reviewed it for the advance digital release, the second time through was much better than that first time out.

When I first saw it in theaters I liked it overall but it had issues with the notable reshoots and some of the constant fan service. I've had a bit of a back and forth over the last couple years about how I feel about Rogue One and its place inside the overarching saga that is the galaxy far, far away.
