Sure looks like the back and head of  Tarkin in that latest TV spot

Agreed!  :D

Every trailer I see new stuff and get more pumped.  This one's tone is pretty hopeless seeming.  The defending the bridge in SPR looks.  :-X

I'm pretty excited for this movie...probably more than I was for Episode VII.  From an article I read about Gareth Edwards' shooting this movie more like a war film...(the crews were all in costume just in case they were inadvertently in the shot because they were so organic), to the nostalgic factor of Vader, most likely Tarkin, and even Bail Organa and Mon Mothma being in the film, but not focusing too much on those characters.  As well as the imagery from the previews and no hint of JJ Abrams being involved in the story....this could be the best film made by Disney so far!
This is the way.


I have spoken.

I'm excited for this too, more than TFA...  I liked TFA a lot, so I don't have any hate for JJ Abrams and all that, but this is an ideal stand alone thing for me.  Like little taste of something different in Star Wars is all.

Agreed, and I hope they keep the darker, grittier feel that was the original vision. This would work much more effectively as a traditional war film than some screwball space adventure.

I think they've assembled a fine cast too. If the writing is strong I don't see how this thing could come out badly. Everything I've seen so far has been pretty solid.

Very cool segment on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Felicity Jones was on as the guest, and she did a fight choreography sequence with Jimmy. And of course there was a clip! Great stuff from a chase/fight sequence on what appeared to be Jedha.

Felicity Jones Demos Her Badass Star Wars Fight Moves on Jimmy and clip.

And I have to say, the music really works for me!

Speaking of music, I saw the soundtrack was finally up for preorder on Amazon if anyone else collects those CDs.

There's a Facebook Live video stream running with the ROGUE ONE cast and director Gareth Edwards right now.  And they're about to debut a new featurette.

Oddly absent?  Jiang Wen.  I wonder if it's because he got a little bit too detailed at the Celebration Europe panel?

Ship on bottom right looks like it may be a tad Outrider-ish too...  That's nifty if it's the YT 2400 from a recent episode.

Word up!

How about that!  Guess we need to add "Rebels (SPOILERS)" to the thread title.  That's awesome.

With some of the talk about a CGI version of a major OT Imperial coming in ROGUE ONE, I had been wondering if a certain Rebel General might also get the same treatment.  Well, it turns out that he won't.  Because actor Ian McElhinney, who you may know from Game of Thrones, will be filling the role of General Jan Dodonna.  And there may also be some OT pilots returning, too.
