New Concept Image of City on Jedha from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story!

RogueOne

A new concept image from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has been revealed via the upcoming art book for the film, due to release on December 16, 2016. Check it out…

 

The new image was found on the back cover of the book The Art of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story by galaxie-starwars (via @SW_ROGUE_ONE). It shows an Imperial Star Destroyer, orbiting over one of the cities on the frosted by a permanent winter planet Jedha. Here it is:

As you remember the first shot from the full Rogue One trailer, released a few weeks ago, was the cinematic version of that particular piece of art:

The Art of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is published by Abrams Books and will be released on December 16, 2016. You can pre-order the book here. The book will have 256 pages and will be published in the same format and style as Abrams’ The Art of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which was an incredible read with hundreds of concept paintings, sketches, storyboards, matte paintings, and more.

    How do we know that Jedha is in permanent Winter? The photograph looks much more desert-like. There might be an intriguing idea here: an environment that is bitterly cold, but also bone dry…

    I thought that jedha is the name of the city on whatever planet that is. In the GoRogue toy bit there’s a sign saying welcome to jedha, referring to the city. I guess that clip was probably just fan interpretation then. I am glad that we aren’t just getting another desert planet. I wanted new planets in TFA but they gave us too many that were all too similar to existing planets. Would it have been that hard to blow up Coruscant or go to Endor instead of Takodana? Oh well, I hope rogue one has some old planets.

      They should have blown up Coruscant. They didn’t have the balls, tried to have their cake and eat it too. Most people (that aren’t huge SW fans) assume it’s coruscant anyway.

      I’d also like to see more creativity/variety in planets.
      Make them truly *alien* worlds.
      That’s something that Lucas attempted with the prequels, mixing things up more with the “look” of planets.

    So can as assume that structure was originally an old Jedi temple?

    How in the world is that ship holding itself up. Anti-gravity

    I don’t think we’ll ever be able to keep a object of that size that isn’t at least moving at high speeds from crashing to the surface.

    Although it looks cool, I how does it do it?

        Anakin should’ve fired that techology up in RotS to stop that ship from crashing into Coruscant. 😉

        I wished they’d not introduced the likes of massive ships/Star Destroyers hovering around “in atmosphere”.
        Not sure where that came from 1st, games maybe?

          It was probably damaged.

          I don’t have a problem with it. Our world is not theirs. Might as well have some fun.

          Don’t star destroyers take off from Coruscant in much the same way in Revenge of the Sith? Anyway, Star Wars is full of vehicles that use hover technology.

    Why would I buy an art book showing a bunch of star destroyes, tie fights, and imperials when I’ve already got all the Art of Books from the OT?
