[Connor Harrison]

Filming continues, with some fresh set snaps coming our way on what looks some desert/tropic planet:

Christopher McQuarrie brought in to "save" 'Rogue One'?

[Selena Halcyon]

Still worried.

 

[Connor Harrison]

With filming near wrapped, we now have a source reporting the name of Felicity Jones' character.

And a clue? Well, someone on Chaos is already using it!

They stole Kyra.

Now they're stealing Jyn.

Someone is watching this site, I'm telling you... They are watching it

 

[Connor Harrison]

Rumour has it Season 3 of 'Star Wars Rebels' will have links to 'Rogue One'...

[Fatty]

[member="Isaiah Dashiell"] Yes! I've been waiting for a trailer to come out forever! Glad to finally have confirmation! *excite*

 

[Julius Sedaire]

[member="Isaiah Dashiell"] - I don't know what that trooper is, but DAMN he is angry looking.

 

[Connor Harrison]

Excellent! Looks like we are going to see more of the "Wars" in Star Wars!

And the hype train will be leaving across 2016 bound for Rogue One in a few hours. All aboard!

 

[Cyrus Tregessar]

Mutha
Karkin
Storm Commando's.

Or possibly Shadow Troopers, but Storm Commando's sounds way cooler. Either way this got me excited, and assuming Gareth Edwards can handle pacing better than JJ it should hold up at least as a fun heist movie.

 

[Connor Harrison]

I wonder they'll tease Vader, if he's even going to be involved in this? Oooh.

 

[Fatty]

[member="Connor Harrison"] I heard he was, I hope so!

 

[Connor Harrison]

[member="Fatty"] Me to, and so I'm trying to not read anything online like I did for 'TFA' and spoilt Han's fate about a year before I saw the film by accident.

SO trailers and official material only - I hear Vader is involved, but I guess in what way remains to be seen. I wonder if he'll be active, or just mentioned or glimpsed.

Can't be too long now.... *rocks back and forth*

Trailers out. It looks great.

 

[Connor Harrison]

God damn.

Now that DOES look like it's bringing the wars back. And looking SO much close to the style of 'Ep IV' than I expected.

Very good indeed. Very different feel to the "saga", but that's intentional I guess. This is going to be very exciting and interesting to see away from the grandeur of the Jedi.

 

[Darth Carnifex]

Looks like the rumors of Thrawn being that mysterious Imperial Officer are debunked.

 

[Connor Harrison]

I am loving the Thrawn-esque uniform though; again, nice to see something new in the SW universe on screen.

And note the blend of the SW theme and the Imperial March for a few seconds as the title is revealed at the end? Verrrrrry chilling.

 

[Sheila]

Forest Whitaker is going to be awesome and well I know star wars was mostly about new ones but some times having some weight to the parts.

That woman playing Mon Motha, I'll have to rewatch but she looks eerily similar (just younger) then the original actress in Return and.... I hope Vader doesn't show up until the end with the tenative IV in the distance from the ship. As cool as it would be to see him doing things.

 

[Asemir]

Much more excited for this than The Force Awakens.

I'm hoping it'll be a movie where the Imperials "win", just to show how amazingly powerful the Empire really is.
