Rogue One photos and Darth Vader details revealed!









Having confirmed yesterday that the big man himself Darth Vader will be returning for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, EW is back with some brand-new photos from the film and details on Darth’s Vader’s return. You can check out the new Rogue One photos below.

The outlet confirms that James Earl Jones will return to voice Darth Vader in the film and that a number of performers will be putting on the costume on screen.

“He will be in the movie sparingly,” Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy said. “But at a key, strategic moment, he’s going to loom large.”

“Within the Rebellion, it’s not commonly spoken about,” director Gareth Edwards says of Vader’s presence. “Within the Empire, there is the culture of knowing of the existence of Darth Vader. There’s definitely an underlying feeling that there is a power – a dark power – available to the Empire and that if you overstep your mark, you will suffer the consequences.”

Kathleen Kennedy talks Mon Mothma’s role in Rogue One









When the teaser trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was released, one very familiar face was present for the film, Rebel Leader Mon Mothma. Set to be played by Genevieve O’Reilly, who previously played the character in Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith in a deleted scene, many thought the character would have just a cameo in the film, but Lucasfilm president and producer Kathleen Kennedy has revealed that she will have a ‘significantly larger’ role.

“We actually see quite a bit of her,” Kennedy tells EW. “The Rebel alliance is in disarray. Pretty panicked. Up against it. And she is trying the best she can to provide the leadership, in amongst a wide variety of Rebel soldiers that have very differing opinions as to what to do.”

Rogue One planet details revealed by Gareth Edwards









Director Gareth Edwards (via Entertainment Weekly) has revealed details about the planet Jedha, which will play a crucial part in the plot of Walt Disney Pictures and Lucasfilm‘s prequel/spin-off Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Learn more about this intriguing new Rogue One planet below!

“The Force is basically in Star Wars like a religion, and they’re losing their faith in the period that we start the movie,” said Edwards of the film which takes place just before the events of 1977’s Star Wars: A New Hope. “We were trying to find a physical location we could go to that would speak to the themes of losing your faith and the choice between letting the Empire win, or evil win, and good prevailing. It got embodied in this place we called Jedha. It’s a place where people who believe in the Force would go on a pilgrimage. It was essentially taken over by the Empire. It’s an occupied territory… for reasons we probably can’t reveal. There’s something very important in Jedha that serves both the Jedi and the Empire. It felt very much like something we could relate to in the real world.”

The Middle Eastern oil conflicts immediately jump to mind, although in the world of Star Wars the precious resource in question is heavily rumored to be Kyber crystals, the precious gems used to create lightsabers for both the Jedi and Sith in years past, which may be harnessed as en energy source for the Death Star’s destructive beams.

“Within Jedha, even though there’s the oppressive foot of the Empire hanging over them, there’s a resistance that won’t give up and our characters have to go and meet people there to try and secure a person from this group,” Edwards added. “In a wider level, there must be loads of people who just believe in the Jedi and believe in the Force and have been affected by it. If it’s a really ancient religion, as Obi-Wan Kenobi said, it’s got to exist in thousands or millions of people in the galaxy.”

Rogue One ships, droids and technologies









When the first Star Wars Story hits theaters on December 16, fans will get a look at brand-new Rogue One ships and technologies and will also learn more about the franchise’s elusive kyber crystals. In the film, the Rebel Alliance is out to steal the plans for the Death Star. We may know how this all ends, but this is the first time we’re getting a look at how those plans made it into the hands of Princess Leia in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope.

Directed by Gareth Edwards, Rogue One stars Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Jiang Wen, Forest Whitaker, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, Riz Ahmed and Valene Kane. We know we’re going to see Darth Vader, as well as a slew of new characters, but we’re also going to see new Rogue One ships like the TIE striker, the U-wing fighter and a sarcastic droid named K-2SO. Read on for a preview of the new Star Wars tech we’re going to see in Rogue One!






TIE Striker:


While it resembles the short range TIE fighters from Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope and the subsequent sequels, the Imperial TIE striker is more streamlined, according to StarWars.com. They are designed for patrols over ground-based installations. The pointed wings are designed specifically for combat in a planet’s atmosphere. They’re faster than the TIE fighters and have extra laser barrels. Their wings can curl down for speed. The body is longer, allowing cargo to be carried along with the pilot. In the trailers, we see them defending an Imperial base on the planet Scarif.






AT-ACT Walker
:

Remember the AT-AT walkers from Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back? If you were lucky, you had one of the Kenner or Hasbro toys as a kid. This time around, we’re going to see another version. The AT-ACT walker is a larger version of the AT-AT, and used for a different purpose. The AT-ATs were used more for combat, but the AT-ACTs have a larger cargo area, and can be used to transport building materials or combat supplies. Again, we first saw these in the Scarif battle from the film’s trailers. They AT-ACTs are there to help with construction, as Scarif is being used as an Imperial base camp for the Death Star’s construction. Feel free to begin the debate about whether it’s pronounced “ay-tee ay-see-tee” or “at act.”






U-wing:

Fans of the original films know all about the X-wing fighters that the Rebel Alliance used to take down the Death Star. The UT-60D or U-wing, however, is much larger. To get large numbers of troops onto the battlefield, the U-wing starfighter can penetrate combat zones and take damage while providing air cover. It’s got wings that can either tuck into its sides or swing out, forming a ‘U.’ Fans of the game Star Wars Battlefront have seen this ship in the DLC, during the Battle of Jakku.






Krennic’s Imperial Shuttle
:

Lieutenant Commander Orson Krennic (Mendelsohn) is the director of Advanced Weapons Research for the Empire. As we learned in the Rogue One prequel novel Catalyst, he has been focused on the completion of the Death Star as his ticket to advancement in the Empire for years. He’s all about pride, and his huge Delta-class T-3c shuttle reflects that. The shuttle can transport a number of Death Troopers and when landed, appears much like an imposing pyramid.






Imperial Combat Assault Hovertank
:

The Imperial Combat Assault Hovertank is an easily maneuverable ground vehicle that can drive through city streets. It’s got a large cargo capability and laser cannons to help “keep the peace.” It has room for a Tank Trooper commander on the top and lightly-armored combat drivers inside.






K-2SO:

K-2SO (Tudyk) is clearly the comic relief of the film, going by the most recent trailer. He’s a reprogrammed Imperial security droid, now working for the Rebel Alliance. He’s the perfect cover, as no one would notice him behind enemy lines. He entered the Alliance after meeting Captain Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), who messed with his inner workings. He also seems to have an issue working with Jyn Erso (Jones), claiming in the trailer that he’s with her because the Captain told him he had to be. He’s part of the mission to steal the plans for the Death Star. One could argue that messing with the programming of a sentient droid, something akin to brainwashing, might put you on the dark side. Though we don’t know a lot about him quite yet, he may remind fans of HK-47, the Hunter-Killer assassin droid from the video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic with his quippy lines.






C2-B5:

This astromech droid might look like the beloved Rebel droid R2-D2, but C2-B5 is on the side of the Empire. He, like his fellow droids in their service, gets frequent memory wipes. Here’s hoping that the Rebel Alliance takes him in.






Kyber Crystals:

You may be familiar with kyber crystals as the keys to the lightsaber. These crystals can be found on a number of worlds, though the planet Ilum has the most. The crystals, though clear, take on a color after bonding with a Force user, giving the lightsaber its distinctive color. In Rogue One, a large kyber crystal is used to power the Death Star. We learned in Star Wars: The Clone Wars that major weapons had been powered by kyber crystals in the past. Emperor Palpatine has been mining kyber crystals whenever he can, and we see one of those destroyed in an episode of Star Wars Rebels. In one of the international trailers for Rogue One, we see a young Jyn being given a necklace by a woman (likely her mother) and told to “trust in the Force.” As her father is part of the Death Star creation team (though reluctantly), he would possibly have access to kyber crystals. Is the necklace a kyber crystal? Does Jyn have a strong connection to the Force? We’ll know more on December 16!
