[member="Connor Harrison"] Why must you do this? I must see yet I must not!

Which do you recommend?

Just look at it, it's not that big a deal lol.

 

[Connor Harrison]

[member="Fatty"] Haha, yeah I agree with [member="Darth Prazutis"] - it's not MAJOR major and it will give nothing away that I think will ruin anything.

I was kinda hoping that actor would be playing the Grand Admiral, just a little .

 

[Connor Harrison]

[member="Darth Prazutis"] Me too. He'd be perfect for it!

We have a lot of mild spoilers here for 'Rogue One' with a tease of the new official Visual Story Guide.

I'll spoiler tag them, but basically it just gives us names and ideas of technology and ships, nothing more crucial to plot points...

Awesome find! What species is that little guy though? Looks like an ewok with meth mouth. lol

Also, I'm looking forward to the Lego set of that tank.

 

[Fatty]

[member="Mandalore Al'x"] Looks more like a *Sontaran from Dr. Who to me!

Spoiler

*potato


Either that, or a midget wookie.

 

[Mandalore Al'x]

[member="Fatty"] I find SW's lack of spuds disturbing.

Pinch of salt with these tabloid reports, but apparently 'Rogue One' isn't testing well and Disney are demanding 4 weeks of re-shoots in July to fix what isn't working with the director's choices of narrative...

[Connor Harrison]

New details emerge on the re-shoots to add a sense of the "classic adventure" that was missing....

[Jsc]

The tone was off.

Lol.

 

[Saki]

sadly we'll never get the ultimate reshoot... when they start flying the x-wings and "Highway to the Danger Zone" starts up with a flying montage and all of them being awesome.... ah well just have to wait for someone on youtube to make it.

 

[Darth Carnifex]

Reshoots like these are common in the world of Hollywood, so I wouldn't be too worried

 

[Connor Harrison]

I'm surprised to hear this may lead to events 10mins before 'A New Hope' - so will be see the Tantive IV leaving for Alderaan or even a body-double of Princess Leia getting said Death Star plans in R2?

They wouldn't do all that would they? I have to say THAT excites me a little, really bridging the Star Wars Episodes with these spin-off films to really mean something in the over-all arc.

 

[Saki]

[member="Connor Harrison"] ehh the coolest ending could possibly be from the Imperial perspective as you just see vader on the bridge of the star destroyer looking out. Hear the order for gunners to be firing and prepare to board.... then switching to out in space as your see the tantive IV flying and the destroyer coming in over head. Get the last scene to be the first scene for the bridge. I don't know if I'd want to see a body double for Leia but who knows what they could do or have.

 

[Connor Harrison]

[member="Saki"] Yeah, certainly give the Empire a bit of an upper-hand in the closing moments with their Star Destroyer.

And maybe see Leia and R2 in the distance, and even 3PO, from the Rebels perspective? Far enough away not to identify facially but enough you KNOW who they are boarding the ship?

Anything that harkens to ANH will be pretty awesome I think.

Lots of 'Rogue One' exclusives in the current 'Entertainment Weekly' including...

- The background of our cover showcases new Imperial weaponry being used against the nascent Rebellion: taller, slimmer walkers known as AT-ACTs hauling cargo, and flatter, fang-like interceptors known as TIE Strikers.

- New information about Jyn Erso (The Theory of Everything’s Felicity Jones), the outlaw who has clashed with both the Rebellion and the Empire, and now has a chance to clear her ledger of past wrongs by leading a mission for the good guys. It’s also personal – her father, played by Mads Mikkelsen, is a scientist whose knowledge is sought by both sides.

- Full details of the squad of characters uniting to take on the Empire, played by the most multicultural cast to appear in a Star Wars film yet: Diego Luna, Jiang Wen, Donnie Yen, Riz Ahmed, Forest Whitaker, and Alan Tudyk – as a performance-capture droid. (One of these has been seen before by Star Wars fans.)

- A look at the skullduggery inside the Imperial ranks, as seen through the eyes of a new villain: Ben Mendelsohn’s ambitious officer, who’s eager to earn the favor of the Emperor – and avoid the wrath of his black-masked enforcer.

- Candid revelations from the filmmakers about what the current reshoots are adding to the story as the film nears its December release.

- Finally, confirmation of what fans have hoped ever since the project was announced: Vader is back. We have a run-down of the Sith lord’s first day on set, and what his return means for the larger Star Wars storytelling universe.

And it seems a new canon character from the past will be in 'Rogue One' after all...
