New featurette takes you behind-the-scenes of “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.” The trailer follows Director Gareth Edwards and the cast of the film as they talk about making the film and how it made them feel. There are even a few new clips in there
I like that bit where they highlight the pre-scroll from Star Wars: A New Hope to reveal where the story from Rogue One fits in.
You can tell a lot of thought and effort went into recreating the look and feel of the original Star Wars.
Do you think the public will understand the difference between a Star Wars Story and all previous Star Wars films? I think this featuretee might help them understand… too bad many won’t see it.
