Makes sense but I could have sworn this novel was about Jyn’s father and the creation of the Death Star.

If it is Magic Stick Man the problem I have would be smaller but it would still be there. I would prefer his character to believe in The Force but not be able to draw upon it.

Ah, I haven’t followed along very closely, so maybe it is someone else.

Judging by his action in the trailers, I’d say Magic Stick Man has some force connection. I’d actually like MSM to be able to do things with the Force, but not really control it or understand it because nobody’s been around to teach or even explain it.

^ I’ve never liked the idea that believing in the Force isn’t enough, that you need some sort of magic blood or special genes to draw on the power of the Force. Abilities like that being limited by heredity is a disturbingly eugenicist idea and one of the uglier parts of classic SF.

Someone being Force-skilled but untutored is a much more reasonable idea IMO.

I’m okay with this as long as they portray him in a similar manner to SW Luke or TFA Rey. He may be able to telekinetically manipulate small items and can have certain physical attributes bolstered by The Force but not much more. Also if he is Force Sensitive I would like for MSM to only use his abilities during the most dire of circumstances.

I dare say if it’s really good someone will do a fan edit with a crawl calling the film Episode III.

Even if it’s really bad, someone will do that anyway because it’d surely still be better than the official Episode III.

I’m pretty sure he would be able to see a training remote with the blast shield down.

If Luke could after a few minutes of training than someone who has been using the Force for years to compensate for sight could as well.

Though if he can only do that then he should have just been a regular character.

Who knows what he will see through the force but I am more interested in what he might hear.

Kristian Harloff tweeted that it is revealed someone in the Catalyst novel (who will obviously be in Rogue One) is Force Sensitive. All I hope is that character is not Jyn.

If it stays in the EU, I couldn’t care less.

Do you watch the show he hosts? Collider Jedi Council? It’s awesome. I listen to it in podcast form on my iPhone. And on the topic of Jyn possibly being force sensitive, I would HATE it. Would bring down the movie a whole level for me. One of the big points Lucasfilm has said about Rogue One, is that it will be more grounded than any of the other Star Wars movies with no force users other than Darth Vader. This would really piss me off.

I really hope they don’t mess with the force too much. I just want one movie without the force. It seems a little too convenient if everywhere there’s someone who can use the force, and I think it cheapens the characters who can use it.

Yes but I watched less frequently after the TFA buzz died down and information was scarce. I initially knew him from the Schmoes Know channel

It’s a cockpit set on hydraulics. A lot like a flight simulator.

Where were you in '77?

I’m confused about that last photo. It’s obviously hyperspace, but it looks like it’s being projected and then filmed. I guess this is to more accurately capture the light effects on the subject, which presumably is behind that plastic barrier. Interesting in any case.

It’s the same effect as shown here.

They seem to have borrowed some tricks from Interstellar, in which they projected the star field, planets, etc. outside the “spaceship” rather than use green-screen.

I really like this shot.

(I’m getting the feeling that Jedha will be in the ifrst act of the film since they show so much of it. Kinda like what they did with Jakku in the TFA trailers.)

I’m also curious as to what is Vader doing here;

yeah, that was close to my first thought as well.
