    Similar to the New Rumor thread in the Episode VII forum, use this thread to discuss any new rumors for Rogue One.

    Once specific character rumors start building, move those to their dedicated threads.

    Note: This thread is mod-approved!

    Rogue One stuff is starting to build now, with the movie entering production.

    So Jones' family seems to be executed before her? Typical, but solid, soldier-type backstory.

    This is a good idea for a thread. Just as excited for Rogue One as for TFA.

    Revanfan1 Definitely on point as far as typical for a soldier's back story. Now how differently they tell her character's story is the kicker.

    With Rogue One starting to film, there's going to be a lot of stuff leaking out.

    Hm. Red Dawn was the exact same thing that I thought of after reading the description.

    If it starts filming next month, any chance we get a cast announcement soon? Maybe at SDCC? Or has this to wait until Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation is out?

    I hope it won't be too long before we start to see some sneakily taken photo's of parked up X-Wings, Y-Wings and may be even some Imperial hardware like we saw at Greenham Common last year for TFA.

    What exactly are "tubular riffles"?

    Very interesting. It seems like something bad is going down. Perhaps it's forced relocation like Tarkintown and her parents do something to get killed.

    Me too, however, I'm suppressing the feelings.

    It could be very dangerous to be excited for two Star Wars movies at the same time. :p

    MSW said in one of his last articles (I believe it was the one about the concept art) that he will get soon more information about R1. Looking forward to it. I also hope that we get a cast announcement soon.

    I think we're going to have to wait until after Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation is released and in theaters for a couple of weeks until we hear anything official from Disney/Lucasfilm.

    Am I the only one skeptical they actually started filming? They said "late summer" at SWC and we only have 5 reported cast members. Only Felicity is confirmed because Disney is probably not allowed to announce with the Mission Impossible thing but you would more casting would have leaked to the trades by now...

    It isn't unusual to start filming without a complete cast signed on or to simply begin cast announcements after shooting has started.

    I'd guess that if filming had begun, that we'd have heard something by now, official or otherwise.

    Has it actually been officially confirmed that there is an issue with Paramount over the title? I've heard of movies studios questioning the intelligence of the audience in the past, but thinking people are so thick as to not be able to tell the difference between the words "Mission Impossible" with Tom Cruise and a Star Wars is something that is just bizarre. :rolleyes:

    Interesting, John Milius directed and co-wrote the original Red Dawn film. A 1980's stylized Cold War propaganda film that was complete fantasy and re-enforced the conservative agenda of the era with no basis in reality.
