Watch: ROGUE ONE Shots Compared with the Original STAR WARS Trilogy

One of the big selling points for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was that director Gareth Edwards was supposed to bring a hand-held feel to the action and really make us feel like we were in a war movie on the ground level in the Star Wars universe. How much he succeeded or failed in that department is up for debate, but this video comparison from editor Zackery Ramos-Taylor (via The Playlist) shows that there are certainly some purposeful similarities between the new movie and what audiences loved from the original trilogy.
