Obviously, between Ep 3 and 4, they say.

 

[SargerusBR]

Plot synopsis: "A rogue band of resistance fighters unite to steal the Death Star plans and bring new hope to the galaxy!"

Bothan spies movie?

 

[BrokenFiction]

Probably no jedi, "It comes down to a group of heroes without magic powers, he says"

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

I thought Rebels was building up to the Death Star plans?

Shot of Death Star in the sky has fucking SCALE. #SWCA

Devin Faraci @devincf · 46s 47 seconds ago

There are no Jedi in ROGUE ONE. That's a big part of the movie. It comes down to a group who don't have magical powers. #SWCA

I like the sound of that second one A LOT.

 

[Doublesith]

The footage shown wasn't from the movie. Just something they cobbled together for Celebration.

 

[BrokenFiction]

It will take place in the same time as Star Wars Rebels.

She says that they don't mandate things crossing over, but they are aware of the potential


He doesn't want the good guys to be really good or the bad guys to be really bad

It's about shades of grey.

 

[SargerusBR]

Is it the 1st or 2nd Death Star plans?

EDIT: It's the 1st.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

Plot synopsis: "A rogue band of resistance fighters unite to steal the Death Star plans and bring new hope to the galaxy!"

They are remaking A New Hope?

 

[Rootbeer]

Live Action Sabine let's do this.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Is it the 1st or 2nd Death Star plans?

First. Takes place in the same time frame as Rebels. The shot description makes it sound like you're looking up from Yavin IV at the Death Star filling the sky.

 

[Doublesith]

 

[BrokenFiction]

Felicity Jones plays (drumroll) a rebel soldier.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Live Action Sabine let's do this.

Needs to happen.

[Ohwiseone]

DP of Zero Dark Thirty is shooting Rogue One.

hmmm.. Interesting

EDIT: It sounds like it might be a gritty War Film.

Well, My interest just got perked up.

Gary Whitta showed off his new rug shortly after they announced the Death Star bit

They ain't messing around.

 

[BrokenFiction]

One of the elements that ties a lot of these filmmakers together is their work on gritty war films

Greig Fraser - DP

Neil Lamont and Doug Chiang - Prod Designers

Neil Corblud - FX

 

[Sajuuk]

Rebel commando game tie in pls.

That's no moon.

 

[rakhir]

I wonder how many Bothans will die in this movie.

 

[liliththepale]

They are remaking A New Hope?

I think it's the "many bothans died to get us these plans" part of the story.

 

[Rootbeer]

Remember, the SW liveblog has some photos. but none of the cool ones

 

[Doublesith]

Bothans were involved with Death Star II intelligence, not this one. That line is from ROTJ. This movie takes place before ANH.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

I think it's the "many bothans died to get us these plans" part of the story.

That's Death Star II.

It appears Lucasfilm dug what Edwards did with the military in Godzilla, I guess.

Ah, gotcha. I don't know enough about the 'verse to say with confidence that Bothans weren't also involved in the first plans heist, but that's fair.

 

[Sou Da]

Have actually seen Bothans in the films?

 

[Doublesith]

The movie seems to tell the tale of the first two paragraphs of the opening crawl of Star Wars:

It is a period of civil war.
Rebel spaceships, striking
from a hidden base, have won
their first victory against
the evil Galactic Empire.

During the battle, rebel
spies managed to steal secret
plans to the Empire's
ultimate weapon, the DEATH
STAR, an armored space
station with enough power to
destroy an entire planet.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Have actually seen Bothans in the films?

No.

 

[Unit 33]

Kyle Katarn or riot.

Google says there was one in the Separatist meeting. I can't remember if it was actually there or if this picture is from something else.

Man the Death Star is HUGE in that teaser.

I am so down for a Star Wars "War" Film.

Man, they really know how to set the scale in these teasers haha. That Death Star shot was great!

 

[Betty]

That's a great teaser.

 

[Blader]

Maybe these spies are the original Rogue Squadron? Hence Rogue One.

 

[LumpOfCole]

This seems like a sorta big year for Star Wars.

 

[MattyG]

Apparently they were going to reveal the name of Trank's spinoff today but he didn't show up to the panel. BOOOOOOO.

 

[Ohwiseone]

Been reading some murmurs that they were planning on revealing the title of Tranks Spin-off today.

But he "no-showed" and apparently "woke up sick this morning"


Starting to wonder if he will be the director of that Spin-off Much longer.

 

[Chezzymann]

So was that teaser shown on the stream in better quality?
