At the risk of sounding like a crappy fan...

I don't get this, what is this supposed to be? Looks like the statue of a jedi or something.

Yes, looks to be a massive, ancient, mountain-side carving of a Jedi. Something the Empire would have been keen to destroy. By the time of A New Hope, the Empire has been reasonably successful in stamping out even the active memory of the Jedi in the general population, turning them into a myth.

Which isn't all that far-fetched to accomplish considering there were, what, 10,000 Jedi by the end? In a galaxy with trillions and trillions of people? It means the average person's chance of actually having encountered one in real life is astronomically small. With total information control, it wouldn't be too difficult to convince people they were just a legend.

These landscape scenes with the death star looming in orbit are making me giddy AF.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

Pretty great analysis of the trailer and what we should expect going into the movie.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

"Midget back."

Looks a bit like Kenobi, doesn't it?

 

[Warden of the North]

No idea if any of this is movie footage, but its a damn good looking commercial.

Also saw another product promotion commercial on TV which involved getting "R2 to the rebellion" so safe to say he may be part of the film too?

 

[MadDevil]

I don't see how Artoo could be in it considering the movie supposedly ends just minutes before ANH starts and he was on Leia's ship at the time.

 

[Super Cake]

Think they will show a teaser for Star Wars Episode 8 with Rogue one?

Has Episode 8 started filming?

They're actually done filming Episode VIII already.

Where can i see it ?

Where can i see it ?

In theaters, in about 13 months.

Which does seem like a long post production considering they wrapped back at the end of July. That would be what, like 16-17 months between the end of filming and release?

Anyway, back to Rogue One. Only 42 days to go. This December release schedule is like getting an early Christmas present every year.

Remember that it was originally targeted for a release date of May 17th, like every other Star Wars movie before TFA. It's quite likely that pretty much everything will still be done by then, just waiting for release. Same thing happened with TFA. It was on schedule for May as planned, then Disney pushed it back so it wouldn't eat into Age of Ultron's run.

I haven't heard a concrete reason why VIII was pushed back. Could be because Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is coming out in May, then the new Spider-man after that.

It's pretty amazing when you think about it. Disney has so many major tentpole movies now, that it actually has to worry more about competing with itself, instead of just worrying about competing with other studios.

 

[x Tame Impala]

A little more excited to see this now since the guy who was probably responsible for this scene...



...is directing.

Where can i see it ?

Post production. Trailer next may. Originally it was a may release but they realized they needed more production time and post time as well. Reshoots of rogue one also caused a slight delay

 

[Baby Punisher]

"Homeless crippled black."

The creature feature that was released recently may have had a spoiler in the background. View and research at your own risk.

I don't see how Artoo could be in it considering the movie supposedly ends just minutes before ANH starts and he was on Leia's ship at the time.

So maybe they'll show him on her ship at the very end?

I saw it. Not sure how much of a spoiler it can really be all things considering.

 

[The Nemesis]

Interesting little cameo/easter egg that someone spotted in one of the trailers, as a ship that looks suspiciously like the Ghost from Star Wars Rebels is shown in a rebel fleet shot.

Neat.

 

[HanSolo]

God another movie with a Death Star in it? When will this end?

Also they showed 28 minutes of this to members of the media





Muh reshoots and Disneyfication

 

[kingsholygrail]

Ghost having a cameo makes me smile stupidly. We know Rebels is canon already, but really nice to see it acknowledged in a film, even with just a brief shot.

I bet the series will include some Rogue One stuff(If it doesn't already. I'm behind on my episode watching).

Same here. That made my morning.

Re the Ghost and this season of Rebels:

[spoil]Wasn't it destroyed this season? Or am I thinking of one of their other main ships?[/spoil]

New international trailer with a few new moments:

I saw Star Wars at the theater in 77. I'm looking forward to this. Here's how to tell if you're a true Star Wars fan. After TFA, if you ever go to one of "main" films at the theater again, you're not a true Star Wars fan.
