Don’t know if this was mentioned before here, but ever since I had seen it at celebration, it had always intrigued me. It is the opening to the rogue one celebration panel.
Indeed it has OGSpark, and you may be interested to see what I originally posted about it back on page 8.
Since then, I’ve been disappointed (though not surprised) to find that it didn’t end up amongst the ROGUE ONE ‘extras’ after all…especially since I’ve thought of ANOTHER way I’d have preferred to have incorporated it for myself sometime, compared to my initial thoughts on page 8 -
My new idea concerning it was inspired after seeing a couple of ‘test’ videos that DigModiFicaTion previewed over on Fanedit(.)org, as he was working on his own RISE OF THE REBELLION:A ROGUE ONE EDIT. (Here’s this site’s details about it, by the way) -

He was mulling over whether the usual End Credits music was the right ‘tone’ to end the movie on, considering the previous events overall. Personally, I think it worked fine seeing as the movie ended up on a mention of ‘HOPE’…but I reckon I’d prefer to end my own ideal version on a more sombre-sounding note before the usual End Credits score kicks in.
Anyway, here’s what DigMod came up with -
(ROGUE ONE / ANH end score comparison clip) - https://vimeo.com/222152616
(ANH score replacement clip - the password is fanedit.org) - https://vimeo.com/220156877
I REALLY like this use of the ANH intro. score as a way of ‘foreshadowing’ what ROGUE ONE was leading into next…and will definately use it for my own version someday. The only alteration I would make to this for myself…is that once the ANH music reaches the 0:18 mark on DigMod’s clip (where we see the credit Director of Photograph GREIG FRASER, ASC, ACS begin to fade out), I would THEN introduce the usual ‘jaunty’ End Credits music - the reason being that I don’t want to hear TOO much of ANH’s intro. score beforehand, if I choose to watch it immediately after ROGUE ONE!
So thanks very much DigMod for that inspired notion! 😃
However, had the ‘Celebration Panel’ scroll been available on the extras, I’d have liked to incorporate it as a way to FINISH the movie instead!
Here’s a better version of it where you can hear the final notes much clearer without the crowd whooping - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgsbzxSIPrU
It would certainly have given me the more sombre kind of ‘foreshadowing’ tone I’m after to end the movie on…and here’s how I’d have included it -
…the movie ends, and the Tantive IV jumps to hyperspace…then the circular ‘iris’ wipes to the ‘Celebration Panel’ scroll (so that it begins at the 0:49 mark on the video I linked to above), until it ends just before the word DECEMBER appears)*…and then we get a SECOND circular ‘iris’ wipe as the usual END CREDITS and music begin. 😃
(alternatively…as above, except we could just fade to black at the end of the oncoming scroll at the 01:18 mark in the video, so that we just hear those final notes without seeing those particular ROGUE ONE A Star Wars Story titles…and THEN begin the usual END CREDITS and music)
But as we DIDN’T get that ‘Celebration Panel’ scroll amongst the ‘extras’ after all, DigMod’s neat suggestion will do me just fine instead.
