A makeup that made the actor look like Cushing circa Horror of Dracula would have been much better suited.

For sure. And picking an actor who who had the right build would help.

Some of those guys may have taken their techniques to the grave.

As a make-up effects enthusiast, I can confirm that some did. There were some cases of understudies, but a lot of the early masters took their secrets to the grave.

I’ve seen plenty of old movies in perfect HD and the make-ups stand strong.
But, I don’t think the drop in modern quality is due from the old masters dying with their secrets, I was just confirming Wooks suspicions on that subject.
It’s important to remember that not all old old-age make-ups were successful, nor are all modern attempts failures.

Or he could be the guy chasing after those who stole the Death Star plans, who ultimately screws up, and Vader is called in? We’ll know by December. 😉

"He [is] responsible for protecting the security of the Death Star project
-Wookieepedia

You’re probably right. It seems like his job is to defend/protect the DS, while Tarkin is the guy in charge of it.
And Vader will probably only show up towards the end of the film after Krennic has either died or it becomes apparent that he’s lost control over the situation.
(There’s a shot of Krennic on Scarif pulling out his blaster as he approaches a battlefield, seemingly in some last ditch effort to salvage the situation. Judging from the trailers it seems that Scarif will be the location of the final battle over the DS plans. The footage evens shows Jyn holding a package which most likely is the data-tapes for the DS. I have a feeling that Vader will appear after this scene, where probably Krennic and most of the rebels will die. Also the Vader shot from the trailer shown at SW celebration, from what I’ve read and seen on cellphone recordings, seems to be of him on a Star Destroyer bridge. This is probably the same as the opening of ANH.)

Did anyone took a look at the new Rogue-One-cinema-poster?

From a photoshop point of view this is a mess!
It seems like it was stiched together from some production- and some cgi-pictures.
For me (i work with photoshop for the automoblie industry every day) i cant even look at it.
The sunlight comes from different angles. The sizes of the people are not correect to each other. The palm tree leafs on the left are bending by the wind to the left, on the right they bend to the right. The explosion makes no sense and the death star is way wayyyyyyyy to big. A 160 klimoter wide death star you can see this close is a second away from crashing into your planet.

“A rebellion built on nope”

The palms blowing opposite directions makes a nice division between the Rebels and Empire.
There’s nothing wrong with the explosion. There’s a battle going on. That could be from almost anything.
The Death Star (obviously) isn’t mean to represent actual size here. This is an effect used in advertising all the time. We aren’t meant to think this is a still from the movie.
If ya don’t like it, there’s nothin’ wrong with that. But from a design standpoint, it’s just fine.

Anyway… 😉

i’ve found a nice little detail. First i thought the death star in this poster is a cgi, but it isnt. I have a little kids book, the “24 page read along, Star Wars, A new Hope from the year 1979”. And in this book there is a picture. And on this picture you can see the death star on the Rogue One poster!

Here is a picture of it. bad quality but i think you can see that it is exactly the same picture used for the Rogue One poster.

Edit:

i did a scan of the picture and a photoshop combination.

Scan

Combination

fits perfectly

Wow, nicely done!

Nice find, Dark_Empire! Very cool!

I’m not sure where they got this, but I found this at http://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/ and it was simply labelled; “Rogue One Planet Jedha”

They look like some form of priests, and they are on the planet Jedha which has been confirmed to be a pilgrimage for believers in the Force, but they look kind of sinister as well as walking alongside an Imperial officer, so doubt that they are good guys. Maybe we will get to see some Dark Side worshipers in RO? I haven’t been paying too much attention to the new canon, but do the general public in the SW universe know that the Empire is being run by a Sith lord?

Johny-Sasaki reminds me of all of the other sock accounts.

Thx. It`s the little things 😉

Normally i am always complaining about the new Star Wars things, but in this case i like that they use an old picture. It is a nice little connection between EP4 an RO for me.

Edrio Two Tubes is a mercenary pilot who flies alongside his eggmate, Benthic. The two share the nickname derived from the breathing apparatus that allows their Tognath physiology to process oxygen atmospheres. Edrio’s home world Yar Togna was conquered and occupied by the Empire, forcing him to flee as a refugee. Desiring to strike back at the Empire, Edrio and Benthic have allied with Saw Gerrera.

Is this the brother of this guy???

http://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/2016/07/more-details-on-the-two-aliens-bistan-and-pao-from-rogue-one.html

Some new info about “Space Monkey”;

His real name: Bistan. He’s the gunner on a new starship known as the U-Wing, a sort of gunship and troop transport. “It’s not necessarily a character that we get to know, but I think he has a very memorable, iconic look,” said Edwards. “[He’s] one of my favorites. I can’t give away what happens to him.”

“Bigmouth,” whose real name is Pao, a soldier who serves as a kind of platoon leader, coordinating the charge into battle. “There was this great design of this creature that’s mouth would open really wide, and he looked like he was really good at giving orders and shouting at people during a battle,” Edwards said. “I was like, ‘We’ve got to give him that moment in the film,’ and so [Pao] was born out of that.”
