Reminds me of how TMZ gave us our first look at a TFA set.
Anyhow, loving how it looks so far. Interested to see how well it will visually integrate with the OT, but at the same time use a more modern, gritty feel.
Also still holding out for Lucasfilm to confirm whether they are using the Ultra Panavision 70 lenses for this.

At some point we're probably going to need a spoiler thread for this movie. I'm less wary of being spoiled though, as we already know whether they manage to steal the DS plans or not. ;)
Can anyone I.D. the wrecked ship? I can't imagine too many "new" designs given the time period.

The engine layout is reminiscent of this ship from the Rebels concept art:
As far as I can recall it has yet to show up on the series proper.

Interesting! The Empire must have smaller vessels than Star Destroyers in their fleet, (other than shuttles and TIE's of course) even though we never saw any in the OT.

The difficulty with getting a stand in for Peter Cushing would be the cheek bones.
Perhaps a couple of green screen Cheek Pads down to the chin would do it.
I think once you have the cheek bones and narrow gaunt chin you have Tarkin / Peter Cushing obviously with the hair do also. Crooked nose prosthetic and so on.
This model re-creation is also pretty real looking...

So even if they did do a cgi re-creation they could scan that as a reference so It could possibly be up there with the likes of the schwarzenegger T-800 (terminator 1 model) which was done from scanning a cast that they used to make his fake head where he gouges his eye out.
Personally all CGI is no good though it should be a mix of both real and CGI if they go for a re-creation. especially the eyes are lifeless, so it works for Terminator but not if someone has lines to deliver.
After seeing 'Skinny Steve Rogers' in Captain America and 'Young Michael Douglas' in Ant-Man, I have no doubt they can bring back Peter Cushing. As as long as his family were ok with it, and assuming he didn't hate Star Wars like Alec Guinness, I think I'm ok with it too.

If they are, I'm wondering how that's going to look in the finished film.

IIRC, there was one 80's Starlog interview where he lamented that Tarkin got blown up, and couldn't be in the sequels.

I'd enjoy seeing some good old Star Wars (1977)-styled targeting computers. I love the wireframe look.

Shouldn’t the countdown clock be reset for this now?

Well we only have about 11 months and 9 day before this comes out. It might be good.
One day we will have properly restored versions of the Original Unaltered Trilogy (OUT); or 1977, 1980, 1983 Theatrical released versions (Like 4K77,4K80 and 4K83); including Prequels. So that future generations can enjoy these historic films that changed cinema forever.

Has anybody heard anything about the music in Rogue One? Will it ‘sound like’ a Star Wars film or will they try something new?
It stuck me this morning that if they are going to be making lots of these anthology films, the classic Star Wars music could get a bit… old. But then if they don’t use it, it could be a bit… weird.
Thoughts?

I hope they don’t do anything too experimental with the scores of these films. I could handle them not having the main theme but I would prefer them to remain symphonic orchestral scores.

Will these anthology films have a crawl? Like one without an episode number but still having the title?

All I know is that Alexandre Desplat is doing the score. The only work of his that I can recall without looking up is The Grand Budapest Hotel. I actually loved that score, but that was all central European folk music, so there’s no way that’s any indication of what his Star Wars will sound like.

When they’ve altered the fanfare like The Clone Wars did, it has had mixed reactions from fans.

He was brought in to replace John Williams for the Harry Potter films.

He could be interesting.
Nobody has ever seen a Star Wars movie without a John Williams score so I guess this is a first for us all! We’ll have to wait an see. No doubt opinions will be mixed.
I for one can’t imagine it ‘feeling like star wars’ without the music, but I’m game to give it a go.

I saw Caravan of Courage in the cinema (good Lords of Kobol I tried to sneak out of that unseen).
