Same sort of ending as well.

The ending of Force Awakens, plus the whole don't-bother-to-explain-anything-about-the-protagonist angle, are major flaws IMO. At least since Lost premiered twelve years ago (although we can look farther back to Twin Peaks), pop culture has been more and more anchored in the premise of plot holes fetishized by the audience with obsessive analysis and theorycrafting while producers and writers slyly indicate they had it "all planned out from the start" - and yet to date just about none of these conclusions have even approached satisfying. How could they? Living up to the breadth of the imaginations of millions is to say the least a tall order. I would rather that Star Wars movies tell self-contained stories. As it stands, even one-offs like Rogue One are really just tent poles for license tie-ins. I can only hope that Rogue One will include all the parts necessary for a working story, unlike Force Awakens.
has some pics of the designs for some of the new vehicles
It's a Star wars event/celebration this weekend so should be some more pics, news etc etc

Looks to lay to rest any concerns about this being a carefree, toned down movie, I am getting a definite genuine war film vibe from a lot of those shots.
It's a Stargate walrus bird. ...yeah, back to square one.
However, it should make the old novelverse fans happy to see the canon appropriating the EU's tradition of stupid, ugly spaceships. I eagerly await next year's designs based on binder clips and staple removers.
What I love about this is it's so familiarly Star Wars. We've got the AT-AT's, classic Stormtroopers, old sets like the Yavin IV hanger, and all that good stuff.
But then it's taking all of that and setting it against stuff that's so not classic Star Wars like special forces Stormtroopers and repulsor tanks. Those shots of them being hammered behind that sand wall are like right out of a world war 2 film. That shot of the Stormtroopers walking through the pale blue water on the beach, the war juxtaposed against a classic paradise setting.
Really though, I love that tropical island setting. It just works.

The moment at 1:43 when it started cycling through portraits of different actors/extras on a drum beat was pretty cool.
(I'm not sure why that particular moment in the footage stands out so much. ).
This looks like its shaping up to be my favourite Star Wars film. As much as I loved the Original Trilogy, and tolerated the Prequel Trilogy (hey, as panned as it was, it did have its moments ), I've always preferred the more serious and darker Star Wars media like the Knights of the Old Republic games.

Didn’t get to the Star Wars Celebration in London this year? Disney is sharing the full hour with Mark Hamill from his panel spotlight. We’ve been talking about him a lot lately for his return to the Joker in Batman: The Killing Joke… but there is huge anticipation for the next Star Wars film which Rian Johnson confirmed will pick up right where The Force Awakens ended… with Luke Skywalker and Rei meeting.
There was also something of a large spoiler dropped by one the the Rogue One cast.
Nothing too earth shaking but knowing it might well affect your enjoyment of the film when you see it for the 1st time.

Fan site The Star Wars Post offers a rumor that Dr. Cornelius Evazan and Ponda Baba—a.k.a. those guys Luke bumps into in the Mos Eisley Cantina in A New Hope, only for Obi-Wan to casually slice Baba’s arm off—are in the movie, bolstered by a screengrab from the behind-the-scenes reel shown at Celebration Europe this weekend.
If the figures in the background are Evazan and Baba, then they are on Jedha during the events of the movie, presumably a very short time before their fateful encounter with Luke Skywalker in Mos Eisley. It’s likely a background easter egg rather than a major point in the film—but still, a weird callback to the original movie if true.

It would be ironically awesome if they were minor good guys...

Don't strike me as being especially loyal to the Empire and if they're as badass as they claim then might make handy guys for the kind of mission they're on ?

His Star Wars CCG card was decent.
Dude... the memories. I fething loved that card game. I still have 5 binders full of cards sitting in my closet waiting for a day of glorious retro gaming. I was so sad when they lost the license in 2001. I'd probably still be playing now if they hadn't.
Much to the surprise of no one, it appears that the new trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the very same one that was showcased behind-closed-doors at Star Wars Celebration Europe, has leaked online.
Remember, it’s a bootleg, so expect a fairly shaky experience. Nevertheless, it certainly chimes with last week’s trailer description, culminating in the reveal of Darth Vader. Well, we say reveal; James Earl Jones’ scenery-chewing big bad is glimpsed in a reflection of what we assume to be the shiny floor of the Death Star itself. But make no mistake, that iconic, rasping breathing apparatus can be heard loud and clear.
TBH the stuff in the behind the scenes trailer was/is better IMO.
.. that said.... when you do hear the breathing sound...
