Rumor New Rumor Intellectual Thread for Sophisticated Discourse....but for the Anthology this time

It only seems right to have one of these catch all threads of awesomeness for the Anthologies, there should be some goodies soon!!

 

Good idea.

 

Just put the story up. Donnie Yen, said that The Force was with his character in Rogue One.

For the love of God - Does everyone have to be force sensitive??

 

he didn't mean his character was force-sensitive, just that he has no doubt the film will be a success in his own country because, well, the force is with him (as an actor), because, you know, it's star wars...meant to be funny, not to reveal anything! this is over-analyszing, he's just joking.

 

I like the continuity in the various forums. The rumor threads, the new canon threads...thanks to this community my fandom has been revived to a major level

 

Agreed. It's a non-story.

 

I must say I love me a SW rumor thread! TFA rumor thread was where I received mail until release and now we have 2 new rumor threads man these boards are better then FB Twitter and IG combined lol

 

But with no actual rumours as of yet...

 

Which I find very perplexing and interesting.

 

Some additional rumors on Darth Vader action in Rogue One

http://makingstarwars.net/2016/01/a...e-some-action-in-rogue-one-a-star-wars-story/

 

More rumors about Death Troopers, new droid, new name, and new tie-fighter designs. YAY, looks like we are starting to get some info.

Sorry for double post, when I hit edit, nothing shows up in the edit box so I take it I can't edit.

 

A look at some costumes. Will there be a world with a rather cold climate in Rogue One?

Wow!

1. Darth Vader in action! Could Donnie Yen's Character be a Jedi? I would love to see Vader in a Lightsaber Duel with Donnie Yen's character.

2. AT-ATs in battle!

Now these are some Rumor "Leaks" that I love. It is great that we are starting off with Rumors that I actually like, as opposed to Episode VII's Leaks.

 

The new droid sound suspiciously like Mr. Bones from aftermath, which doesn't happen until after ROTJ so can't be him

 

This all sounds exceptional. It really does. With the article released the other week about the aliens, I am very excited for Rogue One.

 

Sounds fantastically badass! Hope they portray him like in the comics/Lords of the Sith/Battlefront. Rebels has already done a great job of portraying a badass Vader, so hope to see that put in screen in live action. Rogue One is gonna be all kinds of epic.

 

Vader in action could be very cool...but beware of the "badass" angle, Jedi and SIth tend to be too powerful in video games/comics...Vader is super strong but he's no god/supervillain a la marvel. If there's such a scene, and i'm all for it, then it has to be depicted as something that fits with the character we see in the films and with the tone of the saga, don't turn him into the next magneto/apocalypse etc...

 

Star Wars Rumor: Forest Whitaker’s Rogue One Character Details Revealed

http://screenrant.com/star-wars-rogue-one-forest-whitaker-character/

"According to MakingStarWars.net, Whitaker’s character in Edward’s film is one of questionable allegiances, as he has a different code name from the rest of the Rebels in the film – though, it is believed he will ultimately prove to be a “good guy.” Whitaker is also rumored to bear a cane which he uses as a crutch to aid in the loss of one of his legs, an injury presumably sustained during the course of his suggested military history during the Clone Wars or against the Empire in some other capacity. He is also described as wearing a cape and costume bearing a hodgepodge of various items."

 

Here is some more neat details. I am excited for this movie!!!

With the buzz for The Force Awakens dying, I'm super excited to be jumping straight onto the hype train for Rogue One. From what I've heard so far this movie is going to be badass!

 

Love the sound of that.

A bad guy with a long, flowing white cape, dragging it through shallow water behind him. And a golden field. Whatever the overall quality of the film, we are going to visit new planets, and that's enough for me to get pretty excited.

 

I really like the idea of seeing more rogues and bounty hunters and I hope they play a big part in this film. I can imagine some bounty hunters work exclusively for the Empire, while others are bad guys but they hate the Empire so they are more interested in working for the Rebellion, etc.
