Wow some of them new shots look really great. I like the Yavin 4 night shot the most I think.

I have no doubts this is going to look amazing on the big screen and they have definitely improved the dialogue from way back.

All set to go Rogue 😃

It has been suggested that these rings might be Star Destroyer docking stations.
As far as adding things we’ve not seen before this at least makes a lot of sense, compared to adding new fighters.

I’m still curious about what that thing hovering in the middle is supposed to be?

Could be?

Looks like a star Destroyer in the top left of the first photo… Sheild gate and Dry dock?

Got caught in more rain than my very old wipers could handle on my way to class just now, so I bailed and waited it out in a nearby Barnes & Noble and read the first three chapters of Catalyst. Already they’re doing an admirable job of retconning the Death Star plans’ appearance in AOTC into something that makes sense. I bought the book, I’ll let you folks know what I end up learning about Rogue One when I learn it.

Curious how so.

Well I’m still not very far in, but what it seems to be going on is that the plans seen in AOTC were planted to goad the Republic into an arms race. The novel begins a year or so into the Clone Wars, and the Republic is developing its own Death Star project having learned about Dooku’s plans after Poggle the Lesser’s capture (I think this might have happened in TCW, but I don’t remember). So the Republic isn’t actually using those plans, and in fact in this early section of the book they’re not even sure what sort of weapon the Death Star is actually supposed to support (enter Galen Erso and his kyber crystal research). They’re working largely from scratch, trying to avoid a Death Star gap.

One month to go!

Seriously, how crazy is that? Felt like 6 months ago when I was complaining that this movie needed to come quicker and boom it’s right around the corner.

A little farther into the book, I feel confident predicting that Krennic will be the breakout character of the film. It’s a shame his death at the end is all but a foregone conclusion, I’d love to see more of him.

If they don’t combine into a W-Wing at some point I’m gonna call this the worst movie ever.

That video just confirmed that if nothing else, the film will look fantastic. The hype has kicked in for me.

Not enough people read the EU.

I can’t tell, are the shots they use from ANH in that video off of the same blu ray master?

Paging Dr. Dre

I was wondering the same thing.

Nien Nunb might be in Rogue One.

He is Lando’s alien co-pilot in Return of the Jedi.

It seems unlikely that well see any Sullustans in RO as they canonically (in both btw) only joined the Rebel Alliance shortly before the Battle of Endor.
