This week I'm back to work but I figured it would take me at least the first week to clear my inbox and notifications. So instead of a live post, I'm scheduling some video footage from the Rogue One panel that I forgot to include in my previous post on the Star Wars Celebration Europe. It includes a story from Alan Tudyk (K-2SO) on his meeting with fellow droid actor Anthony Daniels (aka C-3PO). Enjoy!
Alan Tudyk meets Anthony Daniels...
Ben Mendelsohn describes his Rogue One villain Director Orson Krennic, with compliments to his fellow antagonist Captain Phasma...
And after technical issues killed the 'sizzle' halfway through, Ben introduces take two...
Bonus images from the Rogue One panel, introducing the main characters:
Shore troopers emerging from the sea. Not bad special effects but an actual real life storm rolling in makes it look like a blue screen behind. The extras in the suits had no idea what they were doing or what Star Wars is!
First reveal of the official film poster, which went live around the world as we saw it.
The cast on stage
Introducing the villain
Jyn's father, Gailen
Lucas on the Rogue One set
Forest Whitaker
Filming took place just four stations from the ExCel centre on the London Docklands Light Railway underground, at Canary Wharf.
Alan Tudyk!
Next week I should be back to normal! Well, ish... :P
To save you from an entire summer of teasers (and mostly because I've run out of new stuff from new things and already shared loads from old), here's a few more random images from the Star Wars Celebration that don't really fit into a single topic, starting with film accurate replicas from the prop store. Enjoy!

The Droid Workshop - a club who specialize in building droids, especially astro-droids.
Not quite life sized but impressive nonetheless
Next week there'll be some video excerpts from the Rogue One panel that I forgot to post before, including a fun story from Alan Tudyk on him meeting Anthony Daniels
