One of our own Cantina members Star Dude made an interesting parallel between the Rebel Starfighter that was leaked from the Rogue One Visual Guide and the image that was released last year during the Rogue One panel at Clebration Anaheim. The image at the bottom is from the filming.
The guys from HitFix has a comment from Disney on the leaked Rogue One pages from The Official Visual Story Guide:
Representatives from Disney/Lucasfilm have reached out to HitFix to say the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story information is the product of an unauthorized leak and “A lot of the information listed isn’t even correct .” As such, we have removed the content.
Ewan McGregor on the Prequel Trilogy:
Mark Hamill has never seen a Star Wars movie at home:
Last time I saw original trilogy was Special Editions on big-screen in ’97 w/ my kids-Never seen them on home video https://t.co/hUWkGjCsT1

Matt Martin from the LFL Story Group makes a funny comment on Bail Organa:
Bail Organa on Alderaan, Alderaan gets destroyed. Bail Organa statue on Hosnian Prime, Hosnian Prime gets destroyed. Bail is bad luck.

Very curious image with 2 legends – John Dykstra and Joe Johnston (wearing McQuarrie Vader suit):

The map from TFA overlaid on the Essential Atlas and a comment by Pablo Hidalgo:
@Tyralak But the Atlas map is still totally usable.
— Pablo Hidalgo (@pablohidalgo) May 17, 2016
@Tyralak At the very least as a dot on a map. Anything beyond that is for a story to define.

And some more interesting tweets from Mr. Hidalgo:
On the Star Wars titles:
@slashfilm there’s no rule book. People only apply rules from pattern recognition.
— Pablo Hidalgo (@pablohidalgo) May 19, 2016
@slashfilm I never thought so. That always struck me as fan-rules, which he never really played by.
— Pablo Hidalgo (@pablohidalgo) May 19, 2016
Hidalgo shows impressive patience in yet another Snoke-Plagueis discussion:
On the Star Wars canon:
On the First Order:
@hawloffame the FO is most definitely a thing. Not everyone knows its extent.

John Boyega received the Chopard award at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
Trophée Chopard is awarded by a jury of professionals to two young actors in order to recognize and encourage their career. It was founded in 2001 by Chopard and has since been presented every year during the Cannes Film Festival.

Daisy Ridley doing a morning jog:
Stay tuned for more next week.
Founder of SWNN, MNN and The Cantina forums.
Born on April 24, 1980.
That Joe Plant guy is just irritating.
Yup. He was starting to test my midi-chlorians. (They still work, BTW.)
If it doesn’t go his way he’s out. Bye!
So…most of the leaked information of Rogue One was incorrect?!
So that means…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JuK1Yr35Io
I guess referring to the texts. Pics were correct I believe.
Hidalgo is going to need his own statue at Lucasfilm one day.
He certainly deserves it.
HOLY SHIT GUYS!! Pablo basically confirmed that Snoke is Plagueis!! If you pay close attention you can totally see the words typed in the tweet where typed with nervous hands.
The new Rebel fighter resembles Zam’s speeder with those tongs.
So people complain about the lack of new things in TFA, then complain when a character in TFA turns out not to be a pre-existing character that we already knew about. Choose one or the other, people.
I used to be very envious of Pablo Hildalgo, but now that I see what he goes through on a daily basis, the man is a saint. I love Star Wars, but to be constantly bombarded with the same questions over and over again it’s crazy. I (jokingly) blame Kristian Harloff for the Plagus stuff. He obsessed over it on a very popular Star Wars YouTube show and fans took his word as truth and ran with it. Its always fun to share theories about something that we love but this particular one (along with Ezra or Rebels being apart of future saga films) needs to die out already.
