New ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ Photos Show Off The Rebel Team And Director Krennic
There’s about a month left until this year’s Force Friday unveils a bunch of new details aboutRogue One: A Star Wars Storyon merchandise shelves all over the world. On that day, new action figures, books, shirts and tons more will give us a better look at some of the characters, vehicles, settings and more from the firstStar Warsspin-off from Lucasfilm. In the meantime, a new batch of photos has been unleashed online to give us a closer look.
The newRogue Onephotos give us a different look at our new Rebel team includingFelicity Jonesas Jyn Erso andDiego Lunaas Captain Cassian Andor, but there’s also a cool new shot ofBen Mendelsohnas the villain Director Orson Krennic and more. Check them out below.
Here’s the newRogue Onephotos from the latest issue ofEmpire:
As you can see, we also get new shots ofDonnie Yenas the Force sensitive spiritual warrior Chirrut Imwe,Jiang Wenas his trusty, deadly partner Baze Malbus,Riz Ahmedas a pilot named Bodhi Rook (with some new gear), andAlan Tudyk’s motion-capture created droid K-2SO. Sadly we don’t get any new shots ofForest Whitakeras Saw Gerrera, and we’ve yet to see any photos ofMads Mikkelsenas Jyn’s father Galen Erso.
Still, these photos do allow us to get a good look at some of the gritty details of these characters. Jyn Erso gets a totally new look with a bunch of different gear on such as a hat, goggles, a poncho and even a breathing apparatus of some kind. Meanwhile, Mendelsohn still looks like he’s going to be quite an intimidating villain in the movie as a couple Deathtroopers escort him through what appears to be the Death Star, but could just as easily be a Star Destroyer.
We don’t get any new revelations about the story in these photos, but some of that will likely come on Force Friday on September 30th. Otherwise, the most recently released traileroffered plenty for us to sink our teeth into, and it will likely be a couple months before we get another one of those. Once November hits though, we’re bound to get a barrage of TV spots that will show off more and more as the release gets closer.
There’s been some concerns over theamount of reshoots that took placeearlier this year, but as we pointed out,reshoots aren’t always a bad thingfor a blockbuster production. They could end up saving the movie. We’ll find out whenRogue Onearrives onDecember 16.
