or rotoscope. that's how you have to do it in order to match everything as perfect as you can possibly geti t.
That was superb! Thanks.
I got the chills when he said, "Gold Leader standing by."
Intersting digital artifact at 3:59 makes it look like he's spitting up his coffee during the interview.
Really cool that Angus moved to Scotland. Gorgeous country.

I wonder, was Carrie Fisher's daughter Billie Lourd asked some time if she wanted to play princess Leia in the end sequence?
I have read before, in interviews at the time of The Force Awakens that she had expressed interest in playing Leia in a flashback, if the film would have had one.

i agree, i would love to see billy portray her mom in future star wars films
I get the sense ILM was keen do do the same process as Tarkin for her from the get go.
That isn't ANH, it's new. I guess they restaged an ANH scene with a Leia stand-in to see our their new Tarkin was measuring up with the original.

I guess I have to eat a little crow. Saw it again tonight, and there were Twi'leks - the holo-dancer that one of Saw's soldiers was watching while Cassian, Baze and Chirrut were talking in their cell. Plus, when Jyn is being led to Saw, and passes by his motley crew, there is a Twi'lek sitting at a table. He had a very pronounced brow, similar to the male Twi'lk design in "Rebels". I wonder if that was supposed to be Cham Syndulla.
And right there, I may have answered my own question on why the filmmakers were so sparse in the use of OT/Prequel aliens. If they showed a Rodian, would people almost reflexively wonder "Is that Greedo?"? If they show a male Twi'lek, will people wonder "Is that Cham Syndulla or Bib Fortuna?"? If they showed an Ithorian, would people wonder "Is that the same guy who was in the cantina in ANH?"?
Granted, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense - why would Bib Fortuna be on Jedha with Saw? - but nonetheless, maybe they wanted to avoid people being distracted with "finding" Easter eggs that don't really exist.

It's not Bib Fortuna, but it is his cousin, Beezer.

Been offline for quite some time for Holidays & New Year.
(still waiting patiently for my Anovos preorders).
Out of the usual deep RPF level thoughts and tangents (pointless bickering), I found a few postings & vid links to like and thumbs up.
But your initial post was just so innocent and pure, that I just could not resist.
Enjoy.
Happy New Year.

Thanks for crushing my dreams. Considering how much of a downer the film was (in a good way), I was hoping PH tweeted an image of an escape pod or something.
Speaking of Raddus, I don't it was wise to have him sound so much like Ackbar. We've heard at least one Mon Cal voice that wasn't low and gravelly. One of Ackbar's crew in ROTJ sounded like a 20-year old from Arizona. ("we have enemy ships in sector three seven!")

I see your point, but since he looked nothing like Ackbar, I did not find it confusing or distracting. Since they modeled him after Winston Churchill, a low gravelly voice that carried gravitas seems fitting.
I, too, laugh at the blue officer behind him on the Profundity, especially when he says "Admiral, receiving transmission from Scarif!". Like, you guys knew "Rogue One" had the plans and was going to send them to you as soon as the gate shield was down. You just sacrificed a corvette to take out two star destroyers and the gate installation to make that transmission possible. Why the "surprised and mystified" reading of that line?

To me it sounds like,.....'destroying the gate has worked!!,.....receiving transmission from Scariff!!.......they did it!!'
Not surprised,....but elated

I wish they wouldn't call these guys "easter eggs", they are simply returning characters! We know they had battles before and stories of their own, it's part of making the film live and the that world larger with these characters. To me an "easter egg" is some throwaway trivial reverence thing that adds little to the story.
