Egmont have released a trailer for that galactic atlas book.

It's got some new Rogue One info. Apparently Jedha has a temple called the Temple of the Whills (yay) and Saw lives underground there.

I cannot tell you how bitter I am that the book doesn't come out here till December 20th. I'd've ordered the UK book, but with the time it always takes my UK orders to get here, the US book would be out by then!

*cry*

Cool, ordered!

Really like the artwork they used for this.

Releases Dec 20th in the USA https://www.amazon.com/dp/1368003060/?tag=neogaf0e-20

About 70 pages left in Life Debt but even before it's over, I love the characters created for this story. I would love to see them in something visual sometime. Hell, I would buy some figures of these characters if they made them.

I need to get this now.

if anyone doesn't already know and aren't in that much of a hurry (supposedly a 1 to 2 month wait) amazon UK are doing the atlas for £6.99.

Gimme a Jas figure.

I would love a Hot Toys quality figure of Mr. Bones with interchangeable arms and stuff.

Rogue One trailer played in the theatre today


Some single random person clapped


In response to him/her, all of the rest of us in there were like

This ain't Episode VIII yet guys lol

 

[sphagnum]

Seems like the British version of the Rebels magazine has been cancelled, though the comics are still continuing in Germany. Hope they continue to translate them and release them somehow.

Hey, did they establish Jas as having blue skin at some point? I saw some good fan art that showed her blue and I think Wookiepedia might say that too, but I read both books picturing her as looking very similar to Aunt Sugi.

Yeah, pretty sure it said she was blue in Aftermath.

Not only did people clap, but my audience roared with applause. Star Wars hype is unlike any other. It's absolute magic what it does to people (myself included).

 

[curb]

I heard one person when the Rogue One trailer started. It sounded like a young girl quietly saying "Yay, Star Wars! That's Star Wars". That was it.

We Canadian audiences are fairly quiet and polite though.

It's the same in the UK. I don't think I've ever heard anyone clap in a cinema. From GAF I've got this weird image of entire audiences giving a round of applause after a film's finished in the US haha.

My first showing of Force Awakens got some reaction out of people but it's still fairly subdued here.

That being said, I do remember applause at the end of the first Lord of the Rings movie which seemed really weird to me at the time (and still does).

New Rogue One TV spot, nothing particularly groundbreaking enough to start a thread over, but some cool extended shots nevertheless.

Just came across this myself. A few character shots are new but the X-Wings flying over Scarif is the main one I noticed. We've seen the U--Wing flying over but not the X-Wings.

The AT-ACT looks pretty funny when it's not carrying any cargo.

Yeah I'm a Vancouverite so it's pretty much the same thing here. I mean people do clap and holler at times -especially if it's a damn good comedy - but even then, it's still fairly more subdued than what I've seen in the US.

I mean TFA was the "cheeriest" audience I've been with but we got more tame as the movie went on.

 

[KoruptData]

Oh boy, just finished Life Debt. Can't wait for the 3rd. It's like teasing some pretty earth shattering things and you wonder if they will really unveil such earth shattering things in the books.

I dig those banners.

Pretty, but I don't know why, they aren't doing it for me. Something about this movie just isn't feeling like Star Wars to me. I think it's from being a long time fan since the 80's, I just have this "feeling" in my head of what Star Wars is.Hoping for the best though.

The audiobook is the best way to go through Ashoka?

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Both the audio book and the hard cover are very high quality- the audio book is narrated by Ashley Eckstein herself, and the hard cover has a full color print of that sharp cover art directly on the cover under the wraparound jacket. So you really can't go wrong either way, just whichever format you prefer.

That's some serious photoshop for the 2nd banner.

YES

Still no word on Rogue One tickets on sale date?

They're keeping us in suspense.

Speaking of Rogue One, there's a new international poster which is a bit different to the theatrical poster that was released the other day.

Krennic looks deep in thought.

Is that Yavin?

 

[Seigyoku]

Is that Yavin?

Yep. That is apparently the Mexican poster. There is also a Latin America that is similar but over Scarif.

 

[Anth0ny]

I will never not love Stormtroopers running in water. keep it coming.

Hes probably trying to think if there's any easy way to completely obliterate his space station.

Sounds like it was Donnie Yen's idea to make Chirrut blind.

The truth is, he initially turned down Star Wars (something 99% of actors not named Harrison Ford couldn’t fathom). “Truthfully, I didn’t want to spend five months apart from my family, filming in London,” he tells me. But then, he mentioned the prospect to his three children. “I asked them ‘how do you feel about daddy doing Star Wars?’ and they flipped out,” he tells me laughing. The film’s young director, Gareth Edwards definitely knew what he was getting when he brought on Yen, and allowed him to flesh out his Force-sensitive character how he saw fit (“it was my idea to make him blind,” Yen says proudly). Today, Yen is pleased with his contribution to the film and even embraces the fact that he will forever be immortalized as a Lego (“I think I might give them out as gifts,” he jokes).

So yeah, about that I Rebel line

Maybe Star Wars won't turn out to be fictional after all.

I'm not even American but I think we could do with a Death Star right about now.

 

[PeskyToaster]

when can we buy tickets. i need to drown myself in video games and star wars to escape this reality lol.

The Star Wars Show has an interview with Alan Tudyk where he sheds a bit of light on K2, including him bumping into another K2 model in the film.

There is a reason it is probably the most (non-ironically) quoted line from the prequels...

Wish Catalyst wasn't still a week away. I need all the distractions. And no Rebels this weekend either. And already finished the two comics that came out today...

Well, ironically too. It's just the one that's ALSO non-ironically quoted, heh...

Meanwhile a last from the plast:

Truly a horrific book, so bad I only recall two passages and one is about eye shadow.

Not the book a threw across the room though. That was Darksaber on a reread.

Also, io9 compiled a list of interesting things from the new TFA JJ commentary.

I wonder if Lasseter had anything to do B-88.

We've come so far from the purple lightsaber request.

Reminds me I need to get the Donnie Lego minifig.
