We hang the Rogue One : A Star Wars Story press event over the weekend , ahead of the moving picture ’s handout next hebdomad . Spoilers were , of line , verboten — but fun fact and random nuggets were not . Here are five things we learned from a pair of press conference featuring various member of the cast and gang .
1) George Lucas actually likes Rogue One
Director Gareth Edwards was in the middle of a crush - interview blitzkrieg when he was displume aside to take a very important sound call . As he recalled :
Two days ago , we got to show George the movie . We all had a telephone call and I got to speak with him yesterday . And I do n’t require to put words into his mouthpiece , but I can candidly say that I can die happy now . He really liked the movie , so it imply a lot . To be honest , and no offense to anyone here , it was the most important revaluation to me … and I will take that conversation to the grave . It was a genuine privilege and his sentiment mean the world to me .
Since Lucas very specificallydamned The Force Awakens with faint kudos when asked about it , enjoin he “ like ” Rogue One is a definite improvement .
2) Just because Saw Gerrera is in Rogue One doesn’t mean there’ll be more cartoon/movie crossovers
grant to Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy , “ That is n’t really the access that we have . We do n’t sit down and start insulate a list of characters and then build stories around those . We really are bulge with the stories themselves , and then if some of those characters might come in into what it is we want to do or say , we ’ll consider it then . But that ’s not part of the strategy . ”
“ That quotation mark was exact out of context . As you could imagine , I have every intention of giving someone an chance . If somebody in reality move through the process of making movies , and wants to make a Star Wars movie , and present that they have in reality stepped into the role on that layer , of course we ’re survive to think a woman . That goes without enjoin . ”
4) It was very, very hard for everyone to keep their shit together when Darth Vader was filming his scenes
“ The first thing that you have to do is get over the fact that you ’re doing a scene with Darth Vader , ” enunciate Ben Mendelsohn , who plays Rogue One scoundrel Krennic . “ That took me a little while , because I ’m a first - generation fanboy . ”
Added Edwards :
You all know Ben ’s work . He ’s got this ability , if he wants to , to be incredibly intimidating . In the entire summons of puddle the film , it was like being a kid in a confect fund . We had an amazing time . And I observe think , I wonder if there will ever be this here and now where I ’ll see any of the characters that he ’s play pop out . We were in the middle of a scene with Darth , and Ben was like , “ Gareth , I require to talk to you . We ask to go in the corner . I need to have a Logos . ” And it was like “ Oh , diddly-squat , here we go . What ’s the matter ? Are you all right-hand , Ben ? ” And he run low , “ Nah … . It ’s Darth Fucking Vader ! ” And I was like , “ I know ! ” And we had this little moment where we dethaw and we could just hold it , and then we reverse around , very professionally .
5) The cast couldn’t stop looking at Alan Tudyk’s groin
Alan Tudyk , who plays former royal droid K-2S0 , describing his motion - capture suit : “ I wore a wooing that was very well-off … it was very cool - expect , [ like ] a luge costume from , like , the Italian squad . And then I was on stilts , so I was 7’1″ , so I tower over everyone most of the meter . Just even at that pinnacle , it colors how you move , and it helped me get into character . ”
Diego Luna : “ The first calendar month , we just could n’t appear at him because he did look farcical . It was the tightest pajamas ever , and on stilts , you were always the top of his balls , here [ gesture to face as everyone laughs ] . It was quite intimidating ! ”
Gareth Edwards : “ A lot of the humor that ’s in the picture that ’s really funny is just [ Alan ] improvising . He was reach freedom to do whatever he want and there are guesswork we could n’t use because sometimes I was bear the tv camera and I ’m laughing , and the camera ’s rock up and down . ”
