New Photos from the Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One Set!

Rogue-One

TheMirror.co.uk has several new exclusive photos from the set of the first Star Wars Anthology movie – Rogue One…

 

 

Although the site claims that the photos are from The Force Awakens, you can clearly see that the Stormtroopers featured in them are the classic ones from the Original Trilogy.

 

Also the filming schedule (beginning of August) matches with the one, announced by Kathleen Kennedy at this year’s SDCC.

 

Here are the photos from TheMirror:

 

Rogue One 05

 

Yet another scene featuring sand and some high-tech equipment. You can see a transport ship carrying stormtroopers like the one from the first TFA teaser, but you can clearly see that these stormtroopers are not the new First Order kind, but the ones from the Original Trilogy.

 

Rogue One

Rogue One 04

 

 

Some equipment bearing the colors of the Rebels?

 

Rogue One 03

 

 

Now we can confirm that palm trees are officially part of the new Star Wars canon. 🙂

 

Rogue One 02

 

Are you excited for the beginning of filming of yet another Star Wars movie? Tell us what you think in the comments below. If you missed our first report with some photos from the Rogue One set click HERE.

      From what we’ve been hearing from both movies I think Rouge One will be much better overall quality wise

        I dunno about that. What I do know is that both of these movies have a lot of time, care and detail put into them. I would instead say they’re both gonna be great, and if Rogue One is rated R, then Star Wars will truly connect with all audiences and give much needed expansion 🙂

    That seems to be more a beach than a desert…. according to rumors the movie takes place on a jungle planet, I can only assume that it also has seas/rivers hence beaches? other two things: that landing platform is pretty common in imperial ships, it’s not at all costs of the same ship as in TFA… also because we yet haven’t seen that ship in OT era canon, second: that seems to be an outpost-kind of place. I start to like this movie more and more… JUST NOTICED: A guy in picture 3 seems to me a rebel…. maybe a prisoner, or the survivor of an imperial assault? those crates do look too colorful for empire, and the weapons rebel-ish… afterall stormies have their own standard gun. E-11, am I correct?

      Well he did say “like the one in TFA” and if they are using sets and props from TFA then this platform from the ship is probably in TFA but a different color would technically be the same ship from TFA.

    Anyone notice all the firearms lying around the set. Most of it doesn’t seem to be imperial weapons. On the table seems to be a couple of staff weapons daggers and some fancy machine guns. I’d say that’s the kind of stuff a band of bounty hunters would use

    3 possibilities:

    Flashback to the “War Days” in TFA.

    Current day in Rogue One.

    or

    Current day in TFA, but a back-water, under-financed outpost of the First Order that uses outdated technology.

    I don’t like an idea of The Rogue One. How can we even imagine SW content without the Jedi? I hope I will be wrong, but my expectations about RO are not so positive as about TFA.

    • August 9, 2015 at 6:22 pm

      Because ANH barely had any Jedi action – just some exposition, a mindtrick and a sword fight that could have been done without the force… There’s a WHOLE SIDE of the SW universe circa ANH that believe jedi to be an ‘ancient religion, simple tricks, nonsense,etc’ and this movie is going to explore that side of things. Speaking as a fan since 1977 i’ll say that the jedi aspect of SW has always been my third least favorite part of it all. (#1 being ewoky-gungany-kid service) (#2 being everything connected all the time (Anakin>3p0 type stuff)) i love the space battles, the imperial design, the general universe of it all so it will be exciting and refreshing to see a story take place with nobody being anyone’s child or sibling, no one being a jedi, no connection to ancient sith video game characters… just a story, set in the SW universe, made by a kick ass director, that fleshes out a pre-ANH event from a perspective we haven’t seen before.

    • August 22, 2015 at 10:05 am
      Permalink

      Not agree. SW content should definitely have content without Sith/Jedi & lightsaber battles.
      Lots of people in that Galaxy farfar away… and they actually don’t see Jedis and Sith every day. But WE see them in every movie, and I really think that universe is able to tell so many kinds of cool stories without them, making them rare, thus special. I totally think Sith and Jedi should be more of a rare breed in the Star Wars Universe. They should be seen from afar !!!
      And this Anthology series (sorry “A story of SW”…) is exactly there to serve that purpose very well, which is exploring that great universe from different points of views. Xwing pilots, helmeted baddies, smugglers, nerf-herders… etc.
      How awesome would it be to see a story of a smuggler who is living the life in the underground of the SW universe, and who suddenly can interact with the things/people we love, and have a different kind of opinion on the things we know…

    Because of story connection with ANH, the look of this movie must be seamlessly resembled with ANH , which demands more practicl effects and real set of old X wong, TIE fighters. Total nostalgia business, not unlike Jurassic World. Substantial amount of money should be spent on location shooting and practical effects so as not to look like mere deviation from ANH.

    It looks to me like this might be an interesting planet for once. There is a planet in star wars for every single biome on Earth. There is a whole entire planet that is one desert, Likewise, a whole planet made of ice, lava, forest, and rainstorms (Kamino) Hopefully, this might be some sort of regional zone on Tatooine of Jaku with a beach of some kind.

    From the perspective of a 40 year old SW fan, the look of these new films has really tapped back into something fresh and exciting that the original trilogy had way back in the day. The idea that we really don’t know which direction events are moving keeps us fans more invested in the story and eager to see how everything unfolds.

    Although I enjoyed the PT, I never really felt it generated the same energy as the OT. The films work as exposition and have their moments, but I think they often feel flat and uninspired. I can respect that others disagree. Overall, I think most fans would agree that the series is amazing and everyone will have their own reasons for defending the films they personally like. The sandbox is big enough for all of us to play in!

    But honestly, the more I see of these new films, the more I start to remember the excitement that the early days of SW had. And I don’t believe it’s just nostalgia, I think what we are seeing is a re-invigorated sense of wonder and whimsy that new ideas and new blood have brought back to this series.

    George Lucas made an amazing playground for our collective childhood imaginations. I’m grateful that he had enough humility and foresight to let other talented people play there for awhile.

    The Fantastic 4 just bombed at the box-office because they replaced one of the main characters (the torch) with a black guy.

      Does it really matter if a black character is in a film, Will Smith has been in how many Sci Fi films as a lead.Independence Day was huge.

      There is basically nothing new, look at Enemy mine great sci Fi I grew up with, I never let the fact people were touting that it was a gay interracial allegory, nor did it bother me when I realized that interview with the vampire was a metaphorical tale of homoerotic or androgynous underpinings.
      Nothing revolutionary in film today that hasn’t been done before.
      Micheal B Jordan was better in Chronical and the film basically addressed what Lucas could have done with the prequals, so I really don’t care if a black man is portraying a better version of the human torch.
      I love Chris Evans now but hated him as the human torch.
      Also analize the name Kylo Ren not in comparison to Rey’s character name but in that of especially the Lo and the Ren .
      This film is being marketed with wide demographic in mind.

        I also don’t mind if a black actor has been cast, but I do have a problem (to a small extent) of a character’s major features, including race changing. I would have a MAJOR issue if Mace Windu came back, but white.

        I for one am very happy of the diversity that Star Wars is starting to show such as more females, more non-whites, ect… It is a very exciting time for Star Wars and I’m happy to be witnessing a new age of it!
