IIRC, that shot is one of the blooper reels and it’s seen being shot in the original making of documentary.

Nice one, wasn’t sure if I’d seen it before - felt familiar but the old memory often plays tricks 😉

Seems a decent twitter page Dave Prowse has - seems to be posting up a fair few behind the scenes pics of late too 😃

Rogue One Wins Three Empire Awards… (Best Film, Best Actress and Best Director)

https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/2017/03/rogue-one-wins-three-empire-awards-gareth-edwards-talks-han-solo.html

Best Film? And Actress? Jesus Christ, I liked Rogue One but I think that is a little much.

Aye, I thought Ken Loach would get the Best Director for ‘I, Daniel Blake’.

For Best Film it was against Hunt For The Wilderpeople, Arrival, La La Land, & Deadpool

For Best Actress, Felicity Jones was up against Natalie Portman (Jackie), Amy Adams (Arrival), Ruth Negga (Loving), Emma Stone (La La Land).

 

Good to see Rogue One pick up some awards and get some love - though I don’t really take these awards too seriously - often it’s one country favouring its own film industry over another country.

Although for the Empire Awards it is it’s own readers who vote for the winners.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story - Fan Edit Ideas thread...
Time

darthrush said:

I’m going to be making a crawl for Rogue One and I’m very curious if I should have the title text above the main body read just “ROGUE ONE” , or if I should have “A STAR WARS STORY” beneath it. I think I’m leaning towards it just reading “ROGUE ONE”.

I’d opt for having just ‘Rogue One’ on it - more in keeping with the original Star Wars film back in the day 😉

and good luck with it mate

 

edit - something which may be of interest to you - Gary Whitta with a few details on the crawl he wrote…

a few interesting videos compiled by a fan (john4real on youtube) using scenes from the various trailers, promos and adverts for Rogue One - hopefully it may be of use for ideas and inspiration for the talented fan editors out there…

Whoa this is excruciatingly awkward…

Of course diplomats behind-the-scenes do all the real negotiating but when you refuse to shake the hand of the most important politician in European, diplomatic relations just got frosty (or to be generous, Trump might be going deaf).

Knowing what she might have just grabbed with that hand, I wouldn’t want to shake hands with her either.

“Knowing what she might have just grabbed with that hand, I wouldn’t want to shake hands with her either.”

^ what do you mean by that?

I’m gonna go with “wait for the inevitable superior double-dip.”

That was gonna be my response too, but I’m pretty eager to get to editing on this one. It’ll be the first fanedit I put online. And while I’d love some deleted material to go through and possibly add, my edit will be fairly simple. Just removing and switching around a few things.

Looking forward to seeing what you fan editors come up with - obviously a shame there are no deleted/alternative scenes etc yet - but there are a fair few in the trailers and promos which may be of use for certain shots or ideas etc.

 

I’ll be going for the cheap UK dvd - and then get hold of a decent fan-made cover for it to replace the fairly awful official dvd cover - or may just lazily use this:-

Definitely sends a message.
“When I wake up tomorrow, I don’t want to have a mailbox anymore.”

I reckon he’d have CCTV on his mailbox (probably in the form of an Imperial Probe Droid 😉)

Thanks so much for helping with this, oojason. Any suggestions on the text font, size, and color would be appreciated. 😃

No worries - though I’m only a ‘copy n paste’ MS Paint hack - the real talent on here would be able to help you out a lot better than I can (frankt, ronwlim, stealthboy, one69chev, detola, crpl_hicks, phildesfr, chrisrudd4554, chyron8472 - amongst many others etc).

Hey Oojason, I tweaked the Star Wars template you posted, just a little bit, to remove the different shades of the colour black that are the center. It now looks a little cleaner, and uniform with the colour black in the star field area at the top. I wanted to help out this cause, in anyway possible.
I hope this helps! 😃
