So this is happening in about 2.5 hours right? Or am I getting my timezones wrong?

Right.

 

[BrokenFiction]

You're right. Just giving people plenty of heads up.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Nice. I hope it's footage of Vader.

 

[jufonuk]

would be cool if they streamed the whole film

 

[BrokenFiction]

Heads up Orlando GAF:

https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/b...-death-star-during-special-after-hours-event/

On December 5, 2016, we are celebrating Star Wars at Disney’s Hollywood Studios as well as the upcoming film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story with an invite-only meet-up that’ll feature Spaceship Earth magically transforming into the Death Star.

NOTE: You have to RSVP for this.

 

[CloudyTuba]

Nice. I hope it's footage of Vader.

Personally I hope they don't show a second more of Vader until the movie.
I'd rather they show off something fun but ultimately inconsequential. I can wait two weeks. Maybe just a comedic scene with the robot.

Edit: Yep, that's just fine. Excited.

 

[Lifejumper]

Will it be available after it has stopped streaming? Cant watch right now :/

 

[BrokenFiction]

Starting now!

 

[jufonuk]

[Peru]

Haha, the video is just a logo but the sound is on and someone is asking about the correct character names.

 

[Ridisc]

Who said that? I had to do something and missed a few minutes. Not that I could hear it anyway.

 

[Ridisc]

Who said that? Had to do something.

Gareth said theres a certain character we got to shoot "A" scene with, then revealed it was Vader

A scene implies one

I want more Vader

They've been saying from the start it would only be a small role. I think he'll have more than one scene though.

 

[Peru]

This film's a bit of a sausage fest, although I appreciate the sausage diversity. But still

 

[Metalmarc]

So is that the reason for some reshoots? Making darth vader taller on camera?

 

[EroticSushi]

Just need one scene of him ripping into the rebellion and I'll be happy.
