Here's the clip from the stream if you missed it. It's Jyn, K2 and Cassian in the U-Wing before they head off to Jedha.

Just found a new TV spot based around Chirrut as well. One new snippet looks like it could be a bit spoilery actually.

Galen's got his own poster at last.

 

[Lifejumper]

The music during the clip was great.

Haha, the second one makes Donnie Yen look like the star. Marketing putting in the work!

Man why would you want to watch a quarter of the movie? I guess it might just be me but I'd rather wait to see the whole thing.

They want to be able to write about the film and get clicks. I must admit if there was some kind of early screening for the first 20 minutes, I'd probably go as well.

Press junket this weekend. Same thing happened with TFA.

There's another featurette on Jyn.

Watch out for the stormtrooper getting shot in the dick at 0:57.

Jim from ign loved it? Thats good news, he has been super super skeptical of it up til now given the footage we have seen, similar to me.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

New clip with Jyn persuading the rebels to strike. Felicity giving it some welly. Bail's in it as well.

Cool. The one I found, as posted in my edit, has the death star on the left, along with star destroyers, and x-wings. The characters are bigger as well. Downside, is that if you have desktop shortcuts like me, Jyn will be covered.

 

[Sayers]

So are we going to be able to cut this whole movie together with all the clips they are putting out?

Ha ha, there were far more TFA clips at this point. Still enjoyed the hell out of TFA.

You can already find some YouTube videos approaching 10 minutes in length that string known footage together.

 

[Ridisc]

With TFA I can understand a little but there is no real reason to hide anything in rogue one, its not a "what happens" film the drama comes from the characters and their interactions, which are only ever hinted at.

You can piece together 90% of the "where" from the first two trailers

I never put much stock into Twitter impressions but I'm optimistic.

This is pretty funny. Gareth Edwards' annotated Rogue Poster that he gave to ILM.

That these quotes are from Bryan and Amy from Full of Sith and SW.com means this is coming from massive fans. They definitely seem to be fully on board.

Bryan wrote more here.

http://bigshinyrobot.com/59884/we-saw-28-minutes-rogue-one-star-wars-story/

Wondering a lot about this line:

"There are stylistic choices that might rub some viewers the wrong way, certainly some winks and nods to other parts of the Star Wars saga that most fans will embrace and others will say goes too far."

Promising.

I mean, you can't be too careful with early impressions considering ROTS's critical reception, but still. There are some substantive statements there that reinforce the impression I got from the trailers.

Yikes, that was cringy. Have a little respect maybe? They were kinda acting like 13 year old boys..

Either way, no reason to take shots at GL here, especially given the context that they're shooting a film inside of a universe he created.

As much as I hate some of the decisions he's made, this behavior is really silly. I just assumed he was making fun of fans who over criticize everything.

They're only having a laugh. Gareth's spoken many times of his admiration for George. The original's his favourite movie of all time. I think you're taking it a bit too seriously.

Meh just didn't like their attitude especially while touring ILM, rubbed me the wrong way. Didn't think it was very funny, lots of Jar Jar and GL jokes (old and tired ones at that), I just found it a little stupid and disrespectful, considering the position they're in. Not cancelling my premiere tickets or anything.

Anyway, it would be cool to tour through there. Lots of cool stuff.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

George's advice for Gareth when he came to the set was to not screw it up and to use more CGI than worry over physical sets, though he was probably taking the mickey out of himself a bit there.

I'd be interested in hearing what his thoughts were compared to TFA, which it doesn't sound like he was a huge fan of.

Looks like Kathy Kennedy's not ruling out more characters making the transition from animation to film if it fits the story. Ahsoka spin-off confirmed.

Maybe, uh, keep your eyes focused on the foreground if you don't want to be spoiled on a possible cool moment, though.

It took me forever to find what out what you were talking about but this image someone edited on TFN made it really obvious.

I guess that confirms what's up with that blue tube in the original RO teaser.

I'm surprised they kept that in the video when editing it. It always seemed likely but that's pretty big.
