A Familiar Spaceship to Make an Appearance in Rogue One + New TV Spots and a Clip!

2nd-cr90

Even more Rogue One TV spots arrived today. Be careful this time and be prepared for spoilers.

 

 

We start with the most interesting spot revealing that the Ghost from Star Wars: Rebels will make an appearance during the battle over Scarif in Rogue One. Check it out:

 

 

 

Here you can see the Ghost and maybe commander Sato’s CR90 Corvette:

Here’s a reference shot from the Rebels show:

A few hours before the spot was posted one of our sources told us that John Knoll was the one who pitched the idea of the Ghost to appear in Rogue One in a brief cameo. We were not sure if it will end up in the final cut, but now it’s pretty clear.

Nice to see a nod to the Rebels TV show, which makes sense since the Rebels crew is a crucial cell in the rebellion.

 

 

Next we have the first of a series of countdown spots teasing us before the movie’s release:

 

 

 

 

Are you excited?

Rogue One is coming

 

 

Next is a new clip with the rebels coming up with the idea of their call sign – Rogue One!

 

 

 

 

 

And finally a very K-2S0 centric TV Spot:

 

 

 

 

Of course it is nice to see that ILM fixed Vader’s helmet as well. 🙂

    nice new material. KS2O is looking like a great character. He seems more bad-ass than Bobba Fett and as funny as Jar-Jar should’ve been. I’m really going to have to try to lay off the new-footage videos for the next 10 days.

    First thing I haven’t liked: what’s with that sound effect when Chirrut jump-kicks the stormtroopers at 0:15 in the 10 Days clip?

      no kidding. I’m fanboy-ing here. I thought the appearance of a hammerhead corvette at Scarif was exciting. never actually thought the Ghost might show too.

    Holly shit, I just hope it is not just Easter Egg, I want it to have bigger role, maybe to see Hera piloting

      I think this is all we’ll get in Rogue One, just a cameo for the ship. However, somewhere down the line this battle might get a nice feature in Rebels.

        it would be pretty easy to just “hear” hera speak over the com’s that would be a cool way to make a cameo besides just the ship 🙂

            yeah imagine comm chatter during the battle about “Specter 2” in Ms. Marshall’s voice… if only

            Yea I’d have a loud geek out session in mid theater if I heard that.

        That would be really cool if they showed this battle on Rebels from the perspective of Hera. Overall, the same things would happen, but not show the cast from Rogue One. And show what happens to Hera and the Ghost that is not shown in the movie. Would be a really cool tie in!

      I think Hera, Sabine or Zeb piloting would be the only feasible. We would know all 3 with a nice quick shot of their heads in the cockpit.

    so i guess that means the crew will survive the show.

      Nope. It just means the ship will.

      • December 7, 2016 at 12:49 am

        Or it’s a different ship in the same class?

      • December 7, 2016 at 12:52 am

        if the ship is still around then i think its likely at least some of the crew will be still be as well. i didn’t think they were going to kill them off anyway.

      It’s possible Rebels might go past Rogue One.

      • December 7, 2016 at 1:48 am

        Interesting thought. I don’t think they will but I wouldn’t complain if they did.

          They already said that Rebels can go way past episodes 4 and 5. And it most likely will.

      Doesn’t mean that at all.

    That ship looks similar but not quite the same…I don’t think it’s the Ghost, I think it’s another freighter of the same model

      It also could be animation vs live action. Vader looks different on rebels then in the movies, same with the lightsabers.

      Same. I was very reticent to accept spinoffs. I thought it was a mistake to do a prequel story in between episode 7 and 8, but I must say while Im not AS excited as I am for episode 8…I’ve definitely been completely turned around. I’m so excited for this film!

    It looks like that we are finally getting a space battle that can equal the endor space battle….. (what in my opinion is really the only consistent one).

    • December 7, 2016 at 7:23 pm
      Permalink

      It’s pretty much one of the best space battles in cinematic history because it’s actually got a story behind it and we fully understand the stakes/emotionally invested.

      Which when you think about it is kind of sad! We need more major sci-fi sagas to be hits!

    Exactly one week ’til it premieres here. It is just looking like an awesome, fun picture with the perfect mix of humor and epic.

    Kind of a whinner right now… but… Guys could you avoid things like putting the tantive IV in the front image? That’s very, very spoilery IMO. I would like to keep visiting the site but control spoilers a bit more.

    • December 7, 2016 at 5:39 pm
      Permalink

      How is it a spoiler? There are multiple CR-90 corvettes in the shots, we don’t know it is the Tantive. They are also in a bunch of the spots and trailers. If you don’t want to see things that are on TV it may be better to go dark until the release.

    • December 7, 2016 at 7:57 pm
      Permalink

      Yeah, in Rebels the fleet is mostly composed of corvettes at this point, they haven’t even employed Nebulon’s or X-Wings yet. In the EU, the corvette was stated as being a fairly common capital ship through out the galaxy, and especially in use by the Rebellion and even the Empire.

      Seems like they’re just backing that up now.

    • December 7, 2016 at 8:42 pm
      Permalink

      Yes you are being a whiner I’m afraid. Just like someone else I read yesterday. These images are from TV spots, which will play at random on the television and are therefore pretty unavoidable. If you want to blame anyone, blame Lucasfilm for including it in the marketing in the first place. I don’t think it is unreasonable for the site to include shots from marketing material in its headlines.

      Besides, given that we know how the story ends and its proximity to New Hope, is it any major surprise that such corvettes appear?

    so there is Ghost in RO but today in the interview Gareth said that at the time of the movie the only Jedi we have are: Vads, Obi, Yoda, Luke + Leia. doesnt that mean that Kaanan and Ezra will bite it next season? certainly hope so.

    • December 7, 2016 at 7:47 pm

      If im not mistaken, timeline wise, Rebels is still a few seasons away from the events of Rogue One

    • December 7, 2016 at 8:38 pm

      I think Kanan will. I think Ezra will walk away from the Jedi, unable to properly control his dark side elements.

    Here’s a random tidbit: for some reason I decided to watch Avatar last night for the first time since seeing it in the theater. I noticed that the callsign given to the pilot that fights with the Na’vi at the end (played by Michelle Rodriguez) is “Rogue One”.

    • December 7, 2016 at 6:07 pm

      For any military heads out there, is that perhaps just a common designation for a rogue craft or crew?

  • December 7, 2016 at 7:20 pm

    No pun intended but this movie looks like a blast!

    Also in regards to the Ghost. I mean I like Rebels but I didn’t think I cared if they connected it. Yet… upon seeing it. I think it’s really awesome now!

    Awesome! These are my favorite type of Easter eggs. An exciting nod to die-hard fans that will not at all disrupt the naritive for new or casual veiwers who don’t care about the rebels TV show

    Nerd alert.

    Everyone is focusing on the Ghost. Hoorah! It is awesome.

    But, at 8 seconds if you pause that clip, you’ll see a nice shot of the entire fleet.

    Lower right hand corner, we see again the hammer head ships introduced in Rebels. Much better shot of it, too.

    My question is this..Upper left hand corner. What is that? That has to be something, right?

    It looks like a boxy transportish like ship, two engines, and winglets to the side. At first I thought it was a U-Wing with it’s S-Foils not deployed fanned backwards, but a U-Wing has four engines, there’s only two on this one.

        The one with the Ghost. They have a still of it posted too. The ship I am questioning has two yellow engine glows.

          Oh I see. Perhaps it is a new design?

            Permalink

            It may very well be, but the fact that’s the only place I’ve caught a glimpse of it, and it’s different screams to me that it *May* be another cameo of something cool.

    with all this talk of ships, any chance that vader’s TIE advanced makes an appearance?

    • December 8, 2016 at 4:26 am
      Permalink

      I bet not. Vader probably doesn’t take this too seriously, and then he gets super freaked out in Episode IV (which is why he’s so fiery and rage-filled).

    Wrong! Hondo betrayed the crew and delivered them to the Empire, then he was betrayed by the small pig guy who stole the Phantom, then Hondo was betrayed by Azmorigan who took the Ghost, who gambled the ship and lost it to Lando, who was caught in the traffic when trying to refuel in Scarif before going to Bespin.
    It’s a pirates thing.

      Does King Prana factor into this in any way?
