Deze week worden er in het blad Entertainment Weekly opnieuw enkele onthullingen gedaan met betrekking tot de aanstaande Star Wars film van regisseur Gareth Edwards: Rogue One. Een van die nieuwe onthullingen is wel een hele bijzondere, maar voor een hoop fans geen al te grote verrassing. De cover van het blad onthult dat we [toggler title=”Spoiler (klik!)” ]Darth Vader zullen zien terugkeren op het witte doek, 11½ jaar na zijn laatste verschijning in Revenge of the Sith (2005). [/toggler]
Rogue One onthullingen in Entertainment Weekly
-
The background of our cover showcases new Imperial weaponry being used against the nascent Rebellion: taller, slimmer walkers known as AT-ACTs hauling cargo, and flatter, fang-like interceptors known as TIE Strikers.
-
New information about Jyn Erso (The Theory of Everything’s Felicity Jones), the outlaw who has clashed with both the Rebellion and the Empire, and now has a chance to clear her ledger of past wrongs by leading a mission for the good guys. It’s also personal – her father, played by Mads Mikkelsen, is a scientist whose knowledge is sought by both sides.
-
Full details of the squad of characters uniting to take on the Empire, played by the most multicultural cast to appear in a Star Wars film yet: Diego Luna, Jiang Wen, Donnie Yen, Riz Ahmed, Forest Whitaker, and Alan Tudyk – as a performance-capture droid. (One of these has been seen before by Star Wars fans.)
-
A look at the skullduggery inside the Imperial ranks, as seen through the eyes of a new villain: Ben Mendelsohn’s ambitious officer, who’s eager to earn the favor of the Emperor – and avoid the wrath of his black-masked enforcer.
-
Candid revelations from the filmmakers about what the current reshoots are adding to the story as the film nears its December release.
-
Finally, confirmation of what fans have hoped ever since the project was announced: Vader is back. We have a run-down of the Sith lord’s first day on set, and what his return means for the larger Star Wars storytelling universe.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story komt steeds dichterbij: de verwachting is dat we op Star Wars Celebration Europe (15-17 juli) nieuwe beelden te zien krijgen van deze film. Vanaf woensdag 14 december 2016 kunnen alle Star Wars fans in Nederland naar de bioscoop om te oordelen over de eerste Star Wars Anthology film het wachten waard is geweest.
