I can't wait to see more concept art, especially for the vehicles. Crafts and carriers etc.

What do you guys think?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Or Maisie Williams...

Maisie would be a fantastic choice. Right age, right height, right look and a great actress. Plus, my brother would legit pass out.

 

[Lobo]

LOL the last part of the post is great. No I kind of want to see that happen, and DS you can film the reaction/passing out of your bro and post about it lol

I want to see Y-Wings doing what they're supposed to, like in the Battlefront trailer.

Looking forward to this. I love they are taking a small piece of dialogue ("Many Bothans died to bring us this information.") and turning it into a full length movie. It's a perfect place to start. Once I heard the concept I was completely on board. Who wouldn't want to see a movie that shows exactly how those plans were stolen that basically sets up one of the major plot points for ANH?

That was referring to the second Death Star seen in ROTJ.

 

[Ryan1985]

Good catch, likely from this then:

A long time ago, in a galaxy far,
far away....

It is a period of civil war.
Rebel spaceships, striking
from a hidden base, have won
their first victory against
the evil Galactic Empire.

During the battle, rebel
spies managed to steal secret
plans to the Empire's
ultimate weapon, the DEATH
STAR, an armored space
station with enough power to
destroy an entire planet.

Pursued by the Empire's
sinister agents, Princess
Leia races home aboard her
starship, custodian of the
stolen plans that can save
her people and restore
freedom to the galaxy....

 

[StarLord]

Fan art already. I love it.

Goddammit. I mean, it doesn't make a lick of sense that they're over Tatooine, but... Goddammit.

 

[Lobo]

I'm hoping for a cast something like this

Rogue One leader-Felcity Jones

Rebel pilot-Ethan Hawke ( A Han Solo/Dash Rendar type)

Imperial commander-Ralph Feinnes

Gran Moff Tarkin-Colm Feore

Bounty Hunter hired by the Empire -Maggie Q

More rebel pilots and Imperial TIE to come.

This guy was good in Nightcrawler.

 

[Octoberist]

It's amazing how his career is taking off. Also, diversity!

[Lobo]

Awesome I swear I was just about to add him as a rebel pilot to my post above.

 

[chamber-music]

Hell yeah. Riz Ahmed was great in Four Lions and Nightcrawler. I like his projects music as well.

Sam Claflin is cool. He can be a little bland in big budget Hollywood stuff nut he was great in United and The Riot Club

 

[DaddlerTheDalek]

Dang! Colm Feore looks perfect for Tarkin! He would be a great choice.

 

[JangoNate]

Dang! Colm Feore looks perfect for Tarkin! He would be a great choice.

Now that I've seen it I can't unsee it. Make it so!

 

[Rowsdower!]

Love the new cast additions. Hopefully we'll get a clearer plot synopsis sometime soon.

They aren't. That line was from Return of the Jedi referring to those who stole the plans for the second Death Star.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Yep.

 

[Sithborg]

I would like Shadows of the Empire to remain in continuity. Xizor is an awesome character.

 

[Sawyer]

I would like Shadows of the Empire to remain in continuity. Xizor is an awesome character.

I remember getting an action figure for that character when I was young and then being confused as **** when I never once saw him in any of the movies.

Oh to be young and oblivious about expanded universes again.

 

[TheVileOne]

Wouldn't Shadows of the Empire be something that's still canon? It technically contradicts nothing in the main line stuff.

What about Kyle Katarn?

 

[Sithborg]

It's shrodingers cat situation. Nothing is officially out until something new contradicts it. I am hoping Xizor shows up in the new Vader comic, though. I loved that rivalry.
