It's not just the line, it's the whole scene. The line is cringe because of the fact that it basically knocks Krennic down and makes him a lesser villain.But the line in question belongs to Vader.
- During the battle on Scarif, some of the AT-ATs appear to be empty (i.e. there's a huge gap where their middle sections are supposed to be). Any particular reason for this?
Because, when he doesn't get his way he grovels to his superior to get his way. For me, Krennic is capable of going toe to toe with Tarkin in a way as equals, rather than needing mommy's permission to continue forward. Tarkin is far more superior because he treats Vader as equal. He is neither cowed no groveling towards Vader.
The film always made him a lesser villain.The line is cringe because of the fact that it basically knocks Krennic down and makes him a lesser villain.
The film makes him even lesser. I know he is supposed to fail, to be usurped by Tarkin, but the film can't decide how successful he should be so it sets him to manipulate Erso and somewhat handle Tarkin.The film always made him a lesser villain.
But it's the only film he's in, so it's not as if they took some established character and suddenly made him come off as a lesser villain in comparison to Vader and Tarkin. Clearly that's the role they intended for him from start to finish.The film makes him even lesser.
That's fair...I just don't think it did the character any favors and detracted from the film.But it's the only film he's in, so it's not as if they took some established character and suddenly made him come off as a lesser villain in comparison to Vader and Tarkin.

Krennick is one of my favorite movie villains period. He was perfect in this movie.. SW usually has black or white characters.. and they made a different kind of character that was still on that two-sided (as the evil side) and didn't find a need to give him a shade of grey, but instead having to answer to more powerful people. I love how throughout the film, he has constantly put out the brushfires caused by his own lapses in judgement. And the actor really shows his anxiety as the film wears on.Ooh, I love Krennic. Probably my favorite Star Wars villain. Precisely because he's a total loser. He's middle management. A paper pusher. He can keep things organized, but he's got no accomplishments of his own. He rides the coattails of better man and tries to push himself off as somehow responsible for their greatness. He's not even evil. He's building one of the most ridiculous weapons of mass murder ever conceived, and the morality doesn't even enter into the equation. It's just his big win that will finally open up the door to that upper echelon of society he's dreamed of joining, but has always failed because he just doesn't bring anything to the table.
And, as to the above quote, I disagree. The movie makes it a point at just how startlingly inept Krennic really is. He doesn't manipulate Erso, he uses the overwhelming power of the stormtrooper corps to coerce acquiescence. Erso manipulates him. So completely that somehow, even after he murdered the man's wife and separated him from his daughter, he can still be surprised by the betrayal.
And Krennic doesn't handle Tarkin, at all. They aren't even in the same league. Krennic continues because Tarkin can't be bothered. The moment the Death Star actually works, and now brings real value to the Empire, Tarkin was already moving Krennic out of the way. Krennic certainly believed he could maneuver with Tarkin, but he was steadfastly and hopelessly wrong. It's his up-jumped arrogance that I find so endearing, because I've had to work with so many people like him. He actually think that pushing some items around on a spreadsheet and keeping things on schedule gives him some meaningful responsibility for the hard work done by the people whose achievements he's stealing for himself.
Where did the footage of the Gold and Red Leaders come from? They appear to be the same characters from ANH. At first I thought this was just unused footage from that film (manipulated via CGI) but in Rogue One the Gold Leader mentions the "attack run on the shield gate". Since there is no "shield gate" in ANH, how else could they have come up with that?
2. They are footage shot for the first Star Wars, with new dialogue recorded for Gold Leader using the original actor. You'll notice when the dialogue is Rogue One specific, it's on an exterior shot.![]()
the Battle of Endor is very inconsistent when it comes to the use of footage and names applied to different characters in the footage.Ironically, I was confused for years by the A-Wing pilot who is killed in ROTJ by the TIE Fighter, who happens to look almost exactly like the actor who plays Green Leader for her brief clip and whose sole existing line was voiced over by a very similar one.![]()

Huh? Where did that fact come from? I've only ever seen reports about Red/Gold leader footage.Not just Gold and Red Leader. A lot of footage of female pilots is from RotJ. For some reason, it was felt that female pilots were out of place, and their shots weren't used. It was felt they could use it in Rogue One to mix things up a bit. I loved that.

Some of the female pilots have entries in the Rogue One Visual Guide, and they appear to be new characters, with new publicity photos.
Nowhere in that article does it say they used footage from ROTJ in Rogue One.
