Rogue One General Rogue One News/Speculation/SPOILER Thread

It all looks awesome IMHO

 

I can't imagine Katniss pulling off the "I rebel" line. That's too much sass for her.

 

But that cape!

 

Star Wars Celebration Europe to feature Rogue One panel - http://www.superherohype.com/news/3...on-europe-to-feature-rogue-one-panel#/slide/1

Do these events tend to feature new trailers?
Or just discusion?

Maybe new images(poster?) or some character names?

 

New images from Rogue One's Visual Guide:

 

Laaaawwwd yes. All looks great. Cool sign that they're not going to be hiding Vader too much.

 

LOL! So true ... If there was any doubt about his presence in the film.

 

The only thing about it is that there is a LOT of placeholders. Outside the names and the new ships, not much to really get.

I do like the new ships, though.

 

Very nice! No info on Forest Whitaker though?

 

Placeholders?

Yeah Whitaker and Mikkelsen's charters, two of the biggest actors, I really want to hear their character names and some details.
Mikkelsen we've gotten some confirmed heavy spoiler details, yet still no name.
Whitaker's recluse mercenary, although prominent in the trailer, we know next to nothing.

Very exiting!

 

Gawd Yes.

 

Yesssssssss t:

 

Great pics! But there's a few more of them.

Spoiler

Man, this is such a beautiful picture. Whoever painted this, hire him/her to make the official poster too. Please no more photoshop.

 

Took you all long enough to post this stuff.

 

Sorry, forgot to post all of them.

And I agree about the one with Vader. It is simply stunning.

 

Most of the text on those pages are placeholders, they just repeat the same paragraph.

 

That art piece with Vader, I'd love for that to be an official poster or something. I just want it framed and on my wall. Badly. That's one thing with TFA I didn't really fully mind the poster we got, but wish they would've kept with the Struzan posters.

Well that's disappointing, if true.

 

Oh ok, they also have a banner across it saying Not Final.
So yeah these were not meant for release yet.
Looks like several sites have been asked to pull it, from their main news feed.
It's a shame they couldn't control this and release this info on their own terms, (especially establishing the prominence of Vader) the new ship, new aliens, and even some names, are small details, but may lose all impact of seeing it in the trailer or on screen.
Which then leads to fan self induced apathy and whining - I already knew this I'm bored show me something different - LOL!
They can't win.

Could this also be due to the Mads Mikkelsen story reveal being spoiled , maybe they found a way to change direction, so now the pre-stories Marvel once planed don't match up anymore.

Or someone just noticed what Marvel had planed actually contradicted continuity so it was all scraped. LOL!

 

I didn't know where to place this but...Here is a funny and weird anecdote about what George Lucas thinks of himself as a filmmaker, from JW Rinzler, author of the 'The Making of Star Wars' book series:

Bleh that sucks.

 

Well then why the hell did you direct the PT, George?

He could have edited the films himself even if he didn't direct.

 

He shoulda got that guy who made Robocop 2. Frank Miller.

 

He couldn't, Frank was on his way to getting Marquand'd.

 

You think Frank banged Marquand's dead body?
