It’s rough but here’s a very nice video on how a Rogue One crawl could have looked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qa-gaZLbeg0

There are a few interesting crawls in the Star Wars Fan Edit section on here - though this one stood out for me:-

http://www.space.ca/star-wars-rogue-one-crawl/ (with video of the crawl)…

ROGUE ONE

The Jedi are all but extinct, the
Republic has fallen and in their
wake, the Galactic Empire has
engulfed the far reaches of the
galaxy in fear.

Persecuted members of the Old
Republic have been thrust into
hiding. Only members of the
REBEL ALLIANCE dare take a
stand against the ruthless
Imperial forces.

Deep in the Outer Rim territories,
the dastardly Director Krennic
has discovered the location of a
long lost friend; one capable of
completing the Empire’s most
powerful weapon yet…

 

The more I read it the more I like it. For me the crawl fits the style and tone of the the OT crawls, as well as the Rogue One movie itself. It isn’t too long and doesn’t overburden the viewer with details or minutia, and ‘scans’ quite well too.

The 1st paragraph setting the outline of the Star Wars universe since the last film (chronologically Episode III),

It’s 2nd paragraph setting the current events - along with the acknowledgment of a fledgling Rebellion starting to fight back vs the oppressive Empire,

and the 3rd paragraph ‘setting the scene’, as it were, for the start of Rogue One itself…

all very well done 😃

7 of the last 10 reviews on IMDB:

  1. “The Worst of the Very Worst, Should be Forbidden”
  2. “This Movie Is Stupid”
  3. “Leaves A Lot To Be Desired”
  4. “The Fart Awakens And Stinks up The Galaxy Far Far Away”
  5. “So bad I had to create a review account”
  6. “Imagine if someone gave you money for presenting someone else’s work/script/idea”
  7. “Not terrible, not great either”

Which one is your favorite?

For what it’s worth, and in the interest of balance… IMDB.com: Star Wars - The Force Awakens, rating of 8.1/10 - from 651,474 users.

a couple of nice looking Faces-based VHS covers/box for Rogue One - may give some inspiration / ideas if anyone is doing a complete Faces set… (if and when good quality photos that match the rest of the Faces series / style are available)

Are these region free?

Sorry Wazzles mate - I’ve no idea.

There has been no publicity in the UK for this - and despite it being a Tesco exclusive - Tesco aren’t advertising the R1 ‘Big Sleeve’ release online or elsewhere as far as I know - the bloke who did the video accidentally stumbled upon one in the shop whilst looking for the regular bluray…

May be worth asking the guy who did the video though mate as to whether it is region-free 😃

I’ve never used that on my printed discs - and most still work ok 13 years on.

Though these have some reviews on the spray that may help you decide…

Does anyone have a link to some alternate hi-res R1 blu ray covers for Rogue One? I got the standard US version, and the red TIE lasers are really getting on my nerves. I’d settle for the same thing with green lasers.

There are a few cover a few pages back in this thread, as well as in here - http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Rogue-One-PosterPromos/id/50710

Hopefully there’ll be a few more custom covers in the http://originaltrilogy.com/discussion/DVD-Covers-Disc-Labels-and-Other-Fan-Artwork/id/20 thread too…

as well as a few custom covers in the google images search and art sites like deviantart.com etc 😃

Star Wars Steelbook Villain Posters for AOTC and Rogue One

^ Top work on the AOTC piece - it’s not too easy to find decent & large pictures of Dooku’s face - nice one 😃

I agree with the Ren pic for TFA - he seems a little far ‘away’ in frame - when in comparison to the rest of the cool set.

Perhaps something more akin to this…

or

etc?

 

I imagine it’ll likely be Benecio Tel Toro’s character and Snoke pics for the final two films in the Saga - should be interesting to see the ‘bad guy’ in the new Solo movie (a Hutt or possibly even a Fett maybe?)

Info Wanted: Rogue One differences from Theatrical Cut?
Link
https://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/1063692/action/topic#1063692
Time

Just finished watching both simultaneously (the Deflickered cam and official Digital Download) - there were no additional scenes - nor were there any scenes missing (both ran at the same length too). I didn’t notice any changes to the dialogue or music - nor any changes to what was on screen.

There a bloody amazing difference in quality between the two (obviously), as well as colour, detail and being able to see the emotions of the actors - really enjoyed watching it (them) again 😃

 

Rogue One trailer but it’s only scenes that were cut from the movie - 3 minute video from ImpulseOfTheFuture youtube channel
