MINOR POTENTIAL SPOILERS FOR FORCE AWAKENS AND ROGUE ONE FOLLOWMaking Star Warsreports that the ship we see in the firstForce Awakenstrailer, the one that is carrying the First Order Stormtroopers, will appear inRogue One. Their source says those ships are being repainted to make them look like they may have forty years earlier.
At a recentStar Wars Weekendstalk,Peter Mayhewtalked about the now famous black and white photo of the cast ofThe Force Awakens. However, Mayhew said something very interesting that could have several different interpretations. Apparently,Mark Hamillnarrated the read, which suggests maybe his role in the film isn’t particularly big. Thanks toMaking Star Wars.
A little bigger potential spoiler,Making Star Warshas a potential description of a scene that involved R2-D2, C-3PO and Finn all helping set up something major. If true, it’s a key scene explaining Finn’s importance to the Resistance. Read more at that link but beware of spoilers.
