Wow, that is really awesome. Thanks for sharing.
I thought the CGI looked pretty good on rewatches aside from a few spotty scenes. Very impressive work.

The Star Wars Facebook page posted this 360 view of the Jedha tank scene with some commentary from Gareth. George suggested the Hovertank pilots have their own helmets.
SlashFilm have also got hold of a few photos that show how some events were changed.

Looks like they were recreating a scene from A New Hope? Would be cool if it's something they ended up completing for a bonus feature

Yeah, looks like they were trying to re-create it as test footage.
As much as I enjoyed Rogue One (and I really did, more than Episode 7, in fact) I really want to see the version of the movie that had some of these scenes in it. The fact that that amazing shot of Jyn and Cassian charging towards the AT-ATs is not in the movie is a fucking travesty.
I really like that George has a little bit influence left.
And it makes sense, every unit has their own helmet.

That ABC behind the scenes was very nice. I look forward to a more in depth look at the process on the dvd. The life cast was a handy, if ghoulish aid. The early test shooting almost suggests that they were trying to film as much in camera as possible. Very lowfi. Quite cheeky. Love that they put a wig on Guy Henry maybe it was an acting aid as well as reference for lighting.

They don't have seasons 1 and 2 anymore, but they'll probably be back in rotation, uh, eventually.

Plan B then...
Since I did my rewatch in the last week, I actually decided to buy it finally ...
And its completely gone around me.

Yeah, it's supposed to specialise in in-atmosphere missions. In Rogue One they only turn up beneath the shield on Scarif.

How many did you guys actually spot in the film? I can remember General Merrick being killed by one but that's about it. They had to kill my favourite minor character.
That one and there is one that flies by the big dish when Jyn sends the Data

Oh yeah, forgot that one was a Striker.
Still super strange how few screentime that thing had. I mean, its better the way they handled it in the movie, so it doesnt feel strange that these Strikers never show up again, but still.
U-Wing is also great handled. There was just never any opporturnity to deploy troops in the OT.

Yeah Hoth is literally the only place they could potentially have made sense.

I was actually pretty disappointed when the U-Wing crashed. They may have gone through hundreds of designs but it was worth it. Far superior to the troop transport the Resistance were using in TFA.
Really liked the Zeta class shuttle as well.

So much TFA stuff looks horrendous by comparison to Rogue One.
Look at all the weapons they invented for Rogue One
U-wing door gun
Deathtrooper blasters
They look like they belong in Star Wars.
vs
The Tydirium devirate? Really dislike the shape of that thing, it just a shape with a super tiny window. Looks super bland IMO.

What else didn't you like? The Resistance transport was the only ship I thought looked kinda fugly.
I liked watching them fly off on Jedha. It's supposed to be for cargo so it looks a bit more industrious than the Lambda or Delta.
Safe and familiar, maybe, but there's nothing that looks "horrendous" in TFA. I agree that R1 was much more creative in general though.
The First Order Weapons look awful, like cheap Super soakers designed by the guys that make these strange Star Wars Hotwheels.

I preferred the blasters in Rogue One overall. Cassian's rifle is my favourite out of the two new films. Love how easily he can convert it to a sniper rifle. Baze's repeater cannon and Chirrut's light bow were pretty great too.

I don't think they look "awful" by any means but I do prefer the more traditional looking blasters. Wasn't a huge fan of the weapon Han gives to Rey either. Darker colors work best for weapons.

The repeater's probably my favourite of their blasters. I think the white and black works better than on the standard F11-D rifle.

Updated that post with images i was talking about.
Weapons(other than Han's and the First Orders standard blaster),
The transports both Resistance and First Order's*.
the weird First Order hover car thing.
Not a big fan of the new X-Wing as well.
*it really takes the cake for me
Why is it so bland?
Razgriz-Specter

This, funny thing is its essentially just the main part of an M4/M16 and then crazy attachments as well.
Jyn's blaster was designed for it as well but its never shown in the movie
Hell yes. More pumped for this than I was for EP7.

I liken the FO weapons to the fact that you can buy a muitiple colored gun these days.
Razgriz-Specter

It does, it also gives off the vibe of how the OT weapon were based on real weapon that were mostly metal while modern day have plastics and such on the guns.
is a pretty good progression of
However I really love the Shoretrooper variant
I actually prefer that upgrade
