So a Spanish language site read the Jan 2017 Empire magazine article and did a summary. I'll let quote the translation:
Empire Magazine: There will not be a movie called "Rogue Two" + revelations and new images!
We bought the digital edition of the magazine Empire of January 2017 from which a few days ago we showed 7 covers each of the heroes of Rogue One.
Then they will find the translation into Spanish we did all pages sorted magazine point by point as we have been able to obtain, as we have done on other occasions to facilitate reading, plus all the new images which they have not been published by any other means ( the other images can see them here ).
* Clarify immediately that the N o data below will be listed as spoiler following the magazine it is now on sale. If there's something they did not want to read, we're sorry.
Industrial Light & Magic veteran John Knoll has worked on 5 Star Wars movies, Rogue One being his first creation since the idea was born of him.
While working on Revenge of the Sith in 2003, John introduced the idea of ​​creating a television series to George Lucas and Rick McCallum focusing on "Rebel spies who stole the Death Star's plans." Rick rejected the idea. John kept the project on file for 9 years.
When Kathleen Kennedy became the president of Lucasfilm in 2012, and after a new trilogy of films were announced in the saga, John was courageous and presented the project to Katty and she accepted the idea enchanted, finally did not Would become a television series, but "Rogue One" would be brought to the big screen.
At first it was considered that all spin-off, or independent of the saga films were made on a budget and without much production, but while advancing the realization of Rogue One, this was rejected and the film ended with a similar budget to Of Episode VII.
Gareth Edwards aside from being the director, is responsible for making Rogue One look much more real thanks to his way of filming.
The film was filmed in 6 months, working 6 days a week and each actor had to train hard.
Felicity Jones finished with all her bandaged limbs while his family sent him messages such as "are you okay?" And she answered them, " It is just another day of shooting."
Diego Luna points out that in all the scenes "were dirty and wounded." In another scene he lost part of his cornea .
The actors did not have much to imagine, actually the recording sets were real, and the weapons were heavy. Diego mentions that had explosions before them and that "it was all crazy!".
Alan Tudyk that the motion capture suit that used to liven up the droid K-2 SO was not fireproof, and that many parts of his body were burned when ocorrían pyrotechnical explosions.
Chirrut Imwe in the film is the closest thing to a Jedi, but this one can not move objects with the mind.
Rogue One no scene where you use a lightsaber, or its characteristic "hum" is heard.
Gareth Edwards mentions that in this film there is no magic, there are no superpowers, and that the characters in the film are ordinary people (except Vader) that all they want is to do things with their own hands to eradicate the evil of the galaxy.
Bodhi Rook is a character who is constantly saying "This is crazy! What I do here? ". He is an ordinary person who is involved in a historical event.
According to Ben Mendelsohn, Orson Krennic uses brute force to get what he wants, while Darth Vader uses the Force, so Vader does not get along very well with Krennic.
Forest Whitaker mentions that thanks to the way as Gareth records movies "Rogue One has a very intimate and emotional air."
The magazine mentions that Baze Malbus is a cynical character. Will it be an infiltrator of the Empire?
At times Gareth Edwards felt very stressed by the exhausting days of recording, adding that he was holding a heavy camera.
There is an intimate scene where all the Rebel heroes and aliens hold a meeting. For this was created a set in 360 where there could be no film crew to be able to move the camera freely while the actors talked to each other (very similar to the scenes of dialogues of the series Rebels).
Donnie Yen was totally amazed by the level of detail of this film. What surprised him most was the set where they fly through space in the cargo area of ​​the new U-Wing.
Diego Luna was astonished to realize that each of the buttons and levers of the U-Wing ship really served for something; Illuminated and emitted some kind of reaction to the touch, even if they were not even finished filming.
Katty Kennedy felt frustration in Gareth Edwards because he wanted to record many scenes with camera in hand but they should not be done that way because they had planned for a long time that they had to record in another way.
John Knoll says the post - production process has been really difficult because of how Gareth recorded some scenes, because to add the visual and CGI effects, marks are needed in recording set, and move the camera in any direction and leave Which the actors improvised in many scenes, these marks were not recorded, making it difficult to join them with computer generated graphics.
The president of Lucasfilm is clear ... It will not be a movie called "Rogue Two". End to theories and rumors.
John Knoll states that Rogue One was always intended to be a self-contained film, even though it is actually a prequel to A New Hope.
Gareth Edwards makes it clearer for us to understand better; Rogue One if you have a sequel, and as a conspiranoica theory "that sequel will be directed by George Lucas , " he jokes.
I wonder who that Imperial looking at the Death Star is? I thought at first that his neck looked thin like Tarkin but that could just be from the unfocused camera.

Yeah, just saw it. I remember a rumor from a long time ago about Lucasfilm going back into archives of Peter Cushing movies to recreate him digitally using a mix of CGI and lifted footage. I wonder if Tarkin really is in the movie.
I couldn't stay up, so, passed on even trying for Alamo Ashburn tickets. They still had some for the very later shows on Thursday as of this morning, but, too late for me.
Going to another local theater w/ the big recliner seats and they had openings for 8pm on Thursday. That'll work.
I think they ended up putting up more shows for VII last year, but, didn't want to wait. I'll surely end up at Alamo that Sunday w/ my wife and kids anyway.

Yeah, I always had a feeling that one would be true. Breznican's basically confirmed it. I thought they'd try to squeeze him in even if it's only for a small scene.
Jon Knoll hinted at it as well:
John Knoll, the executive producer of Rogue One and visual effects supervisor for Rogue One, hinted at something revolutionary in a recent interview with EW.
Asked what Holy Grail the visual effects designers were chasing with this film, which never-before-seen bit of technology they innovated, Knoll said: “I have to tread lightly there because some of the fun bits of innovation are stuff that I’ve been asked not to talk about yet. You know, we want to hold that back.”
As far as I know it's just a typical Resurgent-class Star Destroyer, so all RSD's should be like that. Aren't there actually a few in one of the SKB shots but in the distance?

Haha, I'd say it was mostly overwhelming to see the movie four days in a row. My days essentially revolved around it. But yeah, the fourth time I felt a little loopy and punchdrunk from it all, especially since all four times were IMAX 3D. But then I saw it a couple of weeks later and all was good
I normally don't give these things a lot of weight, but it is Anthony Breznican saying it, so...
I have heard rumors that the one reason they havent moved sooner on Obi-Wan is that theyre not done with Obi-Wan quite yet in the Saga films. So I wouldnt be surprised to see an Obi-Wan thing happen beyond Episode IX.
While he does admit that he doesnt know the whole picture and is simply assembling the bits and pieces of information he has acquired from different sources, Breznican believes that Rey has some kind of connection to the old Jedi master:
I think that theyll probably be some reference to Obi-Wan in the Saga films, and his connection to whatever characters he happens to have a connection with. Ive already written that I think that Rey has some kind of connection to him family connection. So if thats the case, maybe we see a part of that play out in the future Obi-Wan movie. Ewan McGregor would be the perfect age to reprise that [character]
Another theory related to Pablo's tweet is that the commander being referred to is the commander who leads the fleet over Scarif, which is why he is telling everyone to not underestimate the Rebels after witnessing what they are capable of.

It would be pretty cool if Tagge is in the movie, but I've always found it weird that Tagge's rank is General when Motti speaks down to him as "commander". And why would a general be in charge of a fleet rather than an admiral, which is what Motti is?

lmperial Ranks have always been a bit off since there are so many branches and the jumping between branches etc.
Yularen from New Hope and Clone Wars series is a good example. Navy Admiral who then became a Colonel in Imperial Security Bureau. Admiral to Colonel would typically be a demotion but not in the Empire. Would be interesting to see the whole table present but Tarkin alone would be pretty impressive because the scans Lucafilms is said to have done of the various people go well beyond what's been done so far with actors.

They might do what they did in Revenge of the Sith. He was seen on the bridge talking to Palpatine.
EDIT: Do we know all of the names and ranks of the people at the table?

Canonically, we only know Darth Vader, Grand Moff Tarkin, Colonel Yularen, General Tagge, General Bast, and Admiral Motti. Wookieepedia has a list from Legends here though which of course has overly detailed articles for everyone.

For Episode 3 they had an actor in Prosthetics. The talk around Takin's revival this time around is a life scan of Peter Cushing himself using prior footage. The Difficulty of Peter Cushing is that he is never seen full bodied in Star Wars so that always posed an issue. They did not have the proper boot size for him so he often was walking around in slippers etc. so filming was restricted on him
As for the Conference Room Its basically Senior Command Officials. Its messy in the movie. The "Commander and his vulnerable Starfleet" that is addressed is actually the Head of the Imperial Army as officially indicated in Canon.
