The Star Wars Celebration event was held in London today with Gareth Edwards and Kathy Kennedy and was attended by some surprise guests: Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, Riz Ahmed, Jiang Wen, Forest Whitaker, John Knoll, Executive Producer and Kiri Hart, Head of Story. They shared a behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming film and debuted a brand-new teaser poster!
Listen as Director Gareth Edwards remarks, “If you dare not take a risk, then what are you bringing to the table?” That is all I needed to hear to know this is going to be one of the most controversial Star Wars films to-date. The Force Awakens and J.J. Abrams received many animadversions for re-hashing the same cyclic story-line. I think that criticism was kept in mind with Rogue One. Watching this sizzle trailer made me as giddy as a padawan.
DECEMBER 16th cannot get here soon enough!
