Today we have some more reactions to the Rogue One footage shown at Skywalker Ranch, also several new interviews with the cast were shared online. Gareth Edwards reveals he will have a cameo in Rogue One, and we have a video of the Facebook Q&A event in case you missed it.
As you know, two days ago Gareth Edwards and the Rogue One cast has a special Q&A events on Twitter and Facebook. We already posted a video with the Twitter event for those who missed it. Now here’s a video from the Facebook event. Enjoy.
Felicity Jones makes some parallels between Rogue One and The Empire Strikes Back:
“The one that we always would come back to would be The Empire Strikes Back,” Jones says. “And I remember with [director Gareth Edwards], we’d keep coming back to it as kind of an inspiration and a reference point. I feel like Mark Hamill’s performance in that really captures absolute authenticity, and so that was really our kind of benchmark for Rogue One.”

Gareth Edwards will have a cameo in Rogue One!
Director Gareth Edwards says he gave himself a cameo in the “Star Wars” spinoff “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.” But, as with most things “Star Wars,” Edwards is staying mum on what exactly that entails. The reveal, he said, might have to wait for the DVD extras.

We know that Episode VIII director Rian Johnson will have a cameo in Rogue One, and we know that Edwards will have a cameo in Episode VIII. But this new revelation about Gareth’s appearance in his own movie is something new.

Cannot wait to see it!
Gareth Edward’s cameo in Rogue one. He appears in the trailer. He’s the rebel soldier who frees Jyn Erso from the prison.
You mean this guy? I’m pretty sure that’s Cassian (Diego Luna) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/234eaff8d617fef70f14873df4d617ae35fca207770805826fda1d77450561dc.png
That’s neither of them. He also had a Scots accent.
Yeah. I just assumed it was Diego Luna, but now I have no idea who it is lol. It doesn’t look like Gareth Edwards to me, though.
Yes I do. When I first saw the trailer I thought how much he looks like Gareth Edwards. That’s not Diego Luna. Edward’s rebel character pops up again in another tv spot/feature.
Rian Johnson also is has a cameo as one of the Death Star guys next to the laser without a rail like ANH.
Love these interviews. You can feel the legit excitement in Diego Luna’s voice. Hes glowing whenever he talks about Star Wars. Also, Ive never knew this was his real accent, how does someone with broken english play a character(in other movies) that speaks perfect english LOL. Great, great actor
