Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (Pre-release)

[Brent M]

....at last,....this is what I was hoping to see in the Prequels,.....brilliant

I'm with you. The thought of seeing Vader back on the screen in a movie that's set in the time period when he was the baddest dude in the galaxy is exciting beyond words. :thumbsup

How many days until the release of Rogue One? :lol

 

[Cappy]

The possibility of seeing why he was the baddest in the galaxy, is very exciting. I'm looking more forward to this than I ever was TFA.

I would love to see a Saving Private Ryan meets Star Wars style

But without the schmaltz, perhaps.

 

[The Terminator]

Was this the body double for Terminator Salvation that got swapped for CGI?

Yes and no. He didn't get swapped, they just used a crappy CG Arnie head on top of the real Roland body.

Someone may have already pointed it out in an earlier post, but I just noticed that in the group photo, the guy sitting down, with the goggles, is wearing a Tie pilot flight suit.

I don't think so, different body type

Roland changed his chest shape for Terminator Salvation which is why the T800's shoulders ended up looking like a brick wall. He was also the T800 Endo for motion capture during fights. Being a real 6'5" was the reason why everyone wondered why the Salvation Endo T800 was so giant vs the classic Arnold T800 Endo. How you see him in the Profiles in Muscle data sheet is what he looks like on average. This was him at 300 pounds in competition:

Just looked up pictures of Prowse during his body building days. He's a huge guy because he was tall, but he wasn't huge in terms of his muscleature. You don't need a muscle bound guy to play Vader, you just need a tall actor with an athletic build who can physically act and perform the stunts.

Has there ever been a schematic showing what Vader really looks like without the armor? ..........wait now, don't take that the wrong way!:lol I'm talking like a blueprint or cross section of all his robotic features.

Haven't seen that before... Silly question but is it "authorized" or "canon"...?

If so, then it would be this version from the recent Battlefront video game.

There have been a few types of "Shadowtroopers", "Shadow Stormtrooper" or "Dark trooper" in various video games and EU novels in the past. For instance, in the game "Jedi Outcast", some Stormtroopers were turned into Dark Jedi wearing black armour.

Don't confuse the Dark trooper with a shadow trooper, completely separate things.

I believe it's from the complete visual dictionary.

 

[Bryancd]

I believe it's from the complete visual dictionary.

And that qualifies.

 

[Sluis Van Shipyards]

I believe it's from the complete visual dictionary.

I'm pretty sure it's from Star Wars Blueprints. The Visual Dictionary doesn't look like that. Blueprints is from 2008, so it's not canon anymore unless they can add it.

 

[Cappy]

bryan, I agree. not that you need any back up. I believe as the cannon story goes, if its been on film its in. The visual dictionary certainly applies.
pretty sure that images is not from there

This is interesting,
