The more I see of Krennic the more he reminds me of JeJerrod in earlier and superior draughts of Revenge of the Jedi. I wish there was a way of making JeJerrod less weak in the final film.
Somehow make his deleted scene in the third act HD and reinstate it into the film.
No.
Why not?
Umm, what? How about they’re from the same movie and not theatrical posters? Not sure if the second one even is an official one (I’m not asking). And why do you even care why not? If you have your own opinions you can state them like I did, not sure why you must ask stupid questions about my opinion.
And in the time of greatest despair, there shall come a savior, and he shall be known as the Son of the Suns.
I think what’s confusing us is that we all find the new poster to be more, not less, Star Warsy than previous Rogue One posters released.
And if you mean in comparison to posters for previous movies, well, it’s in the exact same vain. Helmets, super weapon, and a character montage. So why don’t you find it Star Wars y?
I would put this in my sig if I weren’t so lazy.

Not really enough though is it? I would replace him with a new scripted performance.

Hahahaha.

By 2040, CGI will become so photo realistic and the software to create it so inexpensive that this will certainly be an achievable goal to the common man within that timeframe.

That’s a nice thought. There’s only so much fanedits can do currently, but technology like that will open up a whole new world.

You’d still have to deal with the legalities of using someone’s likeness though, and you’d still have to find a convincing voice actor.
(Imagine the chaos that would ensue if fans had that kind of technology and could convincingly imitate whomever they wanted. There’s laws about these kind of things for a good reason.)

In the latest Star Wars Show, during an interview with Doug Chiang, they revealed a lot of different concept art for the U-Wing. Pretty neat stuff, check it out!

Nah. Just cast me.
The technology is already here but yeah it’s not easy and probably never will be.
But those wax works or model busts you can scan for a 3D mesh then you use photogrammetry to skin the mesh.
You can do this with any number of frames from a film to skin say an actors head and create a very real version of anyone. But you do need an accurate mesh to skin.
It is in and from this field where the new wave of technology will emerge from virtual reality / augmented reality / 3D scanning and mapping and 3D printing.
The toys of the future based on say a property like STAR WARS will be the actual full scale props scanned and skinned and scaled down and will be practically 100% accurate. And they can be printed out.

The only point of having a 70mm showing would be to have the traditional wider 2.76:1 aspect ratio. If they wanted to do that though, they’d have to work out licensing with Weienstein Company who owns the necessary refurbished Cinerama projectors used for the Hateful 8 roadshow.
Not exactly.
Hateful 8 was both shot on film AND finished photochemically, necessitating the rollout of the cinerama projectors for people to see the movie as Tarantino intended.
Rogue One used the same lenses but was shot on the 65mm-sized model of Alexa, at 6.5k resolution. This would no doubt look impressive in cinerama if they filmed it out at its native resolution, but the DI is only being done at 4k, and either way it’s still a digital movie to begin with.
It’s also worth noting that the Alexa 65’s sensor is slightly bigger and slightly taller shaped than an actual 65mm film frame. The aspect ratio is something like 2.11:1, so with the ultra panavision lenses’ 1.25x squeeze factor you’d get a 2.64:1 AR. They might’ve simply cropped this to 2.40:1 across all exhibition formats, framing everything accordingly.

Huh, I did know it had been shot digitally, but I totally overlooked the increased height of the Alexa’s sensor. So I guess with 2.76:1 you’d be gaining width but cropping some vertical. Since that would mess with the image distortion, I guess that would rule out the need for the Cinerama projectors.
That said, in certain circumstances I could still see a 70mm film print being a superior experience. Given they’d adjust the color grade accordingly, you might still get more information, assuming a truly lossless copy of the film is being printed onto the film. They still compress the films for digital cinema viewing, albeit at a very high bitrate, let alone possibly losing the extended color range that the Alexa 65 offers. Could be wrong though, maybe film prints of digital material always look worse.
I love the irony here.
It’s the first digitally-shot Star Wars anything since RotS and also a prequel to ANH, yet Edwards is shooting it with a camera that’s not only at least 35mm-sized (unlike RotS), but several times bigger.
Forgive the no back-read, but I don’t see Tudyk on that poster.
Is he just the voice of the robot or something?
I was really hoping he would more-or-less reprise the Wash character!
Yep, he did motion capture for and voiced the droid. I heard a rumor that he might have a small cameo as a human, but his actual character is the droid.
Boooooooooooooooooooooooo.
LOL 😂
By the way Han shot first.
Makes you wonder why Nissan doesn’t have a car called “Awake.”
Man, Disney is figuring out ways to cross-promote this stuff in ways Lucas never dreamed of.
