New Featurette Shows Off ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’s Incredible Creatures!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is finally here.

I’m finished watching trailers for the film, as I’d like to go in as fresh and out-of-the-loop as possible, but I definitely just took a look at this featurette, in which director Gareth Edwards and Creature Effects Supervisor Neal Scanlan offer a behind-the-scenes peek at the creatures.

These are some incredible creatures, and we are so freaking excited for Rogue One.

You can take a look at the featurette below, and be sure to let us know what you hope to see on December 16th!

The ‘Rogue One’ IMAX Poster Is Here, And It’s Gorgeous!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Following that stellar (pretty plot heavy) international trailer from a few days back, Disney today has debuted the absolutely gorgeous IMAX poster for next month’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

If you (like myself) need one of these on your wall, you’ll want to attend one of the first IMAX showings of the film on opening night… if it’s anything like most IMAX posters, these won’t last long at all.

For now, bask in the glory of the poster below, and be sure to let us know what you think. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story takes off on December 16th.

The New International ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ Trailer Is Chock Full Of Plot!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Whoah.

Disney today debuted a new international trailer for next month’s Star Wars: Rogue One. It’s incredibly gorgeous, featuring some of the slickest eye candy that we’ve seen from any of the promotional material so far.

You may want to skip this one however. Rogue One is just a month away, and if you’d like to go into the anticipated film as fresh as possible, you won’t want to see all of the intense plot revealed in this latest trailer.

You’ve been warned. Be sure to let us know how excited you are for December 16th.

The Second ‘Star Wars: Rogue One’ Trailer Has Us Breathless

by Shane O'Hare

The second trailer for this years Star Wars film, Rogue One, has just hit the internet. And it is FUCKING incredible. I think I am more excited for this than I was Episove VII. Check it out below.

This trailer is incredible. Director Gareth Edwards really knows how to make stuff feel MASSIVE on film. The music, produced by French composer Alexandre Desplat (Godzilla, Syriana, Argo), is OUTSTANDING. I honestly think this is going to do more than Episode VII. It feels more “real”.

Star Wars: Rogue One hits theaters this December 16th and stars  Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Riz Ahmed, Ben Mendelsohn, Jiang Wen, Donnie Yen, Forest Whitaker, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk and Jonathan Aris.

D23 2015: Your First Look at ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’

by Eric Francisco

D23 has become a necessary weekend con to pay attention to. We’ve heard about the clip of Captain America: Civil War that we’ll try to get to you guys, somehow, as fast as we can, but what we have now is just as awesome: The first look at the cast of Rogue One! And yes, Donnie Yen has joined a galaxy far, far away.

Man, is it gritty! We’ve all wanted a darker Star Wars, this is literally dark. There’s hardly any blues or yellows!

Oh man, Donnie Yen. I actually had confirmation several weeks ago that he would be in Star Wars, but I had to sit on it for various reasons. It really sucked I couldn’t tell you guys sooner, but you would have found out yourselves if you knew where to look. It wasn’t exactly a heavily-guarded secret.

Besides Donnie Yen The Living God, Rogue One has got a hell of a cast. From left to right in the above photot: Riz Ahmed, Diego Luna, Felicity Jones, Jiang Wen, Donnie Yen. Not pictured but will be in the film are Ben Mendelsohn, Alan Tudyk (yes, THAT Alan Tudyk!), Forest Whitaker (yes, THAT Forest Whitaker!), and Mads Mikkelsen (yes, THAT Mads Mikkelsen — Jesus Rogue One isn’t messing around).

Has the title changed? I was under the impression and had long written it and seen it written as Star Wars: Rogue One, but it seems the title is officially Rogue One with A Star Wars Story as a tagline. I’m also seeing Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One in certain places. Minor details, all that matters is that you know Rogue One and that this is goddamn Star Wars so anything works.

Rogue One is a prequel-ish of sorts, taking place before A New Hope. Directed by Gareth Edwards of 2014’s Godzilla, the movie “will be a departure from the saga films but have elements that are familiar” says Lucasfilm CEO Kathleen Kennedy in the press release.

From StarWars.com:

“It goes into new territory, exploring the galactic struggle from a ground-war perspective while maintaining that essentialStar Wars feel that fans have come to know. Gareth is such an innovative director and I’m so excited to be working with him and the extraordinary ensemble cast he’s selected for ‘Rogue One.’”

I can’t fanboy enough over Donnie Yen in Star Wars. Felicity Jones and Alan Tudyk are just the cherries on top. Excuse me, I have some Ip Man to watch on loop between now and December 16, 2016. I might even skip The Force Awakens! (Haha, no.)
