That looks similar to the Entertainment Weekly cover.

Star Wars: Rogue One Stormtrooper Helmets Possibly Revealed - IGN

On that page they show the cast of Rogue One. In the band of Rebel heroes there is one white woman, two Chinese men, one Pakistani (English by nationality) man, and one Hispanic man. The only pale-skinned male seems to be the bad guy. I understand the need to diversify as regards race and gender, that's certainly important, but TOTALLY barring white males from the heroes is taking it a step too far. Notice they did the same with the new heroes in the Force Awakens -a black male, a hispanic male, a white female, no white males. That's a smaller band, so it's more acceptable there, but if you add it to the lineup for Rogue One it adds up to a pretty biased picture overall. And if they want to get their gender diversity right, they'd be better off casting at least one more female for the band of heroes in Rogue One.

:shrug: I don't tend to notice that stuff that much to be honest, when it comes to Star Wars. People are always bitching about the lack of females on the OT but to me it's about quality over quantity.

I'll take it further. This is Star Wars - a galaxy with many different species. Where is the multi-species representation?

Felicity Jones looks good!

Yeah, I noticed that.

Glad I wasn't the only one.

I will see it regualr first. I'll then decided if it is worth $20 to see in IMAX.

I don't even plan to see it in a cinema.

Watch John Boyega wield a lightsaber in Star Wars: The Force Awakens | The Verge

sum1 08-27-2015 06:29 PM

Why can't we see Luke with a lightsaber instead? Offically bored with the new films.

Ron_Beckett 08-28-2015 08:22 AM

I need this movie like now all ready!

I loved seeing Finn with the lightsaber confronting Kylo.

I thought it was going to be Rey with a lightsaber and I was looking forward to that (Rey's the only new character I've warmed to so far). Not to mention we're overdue seeing Leia with a lightsaber. And, as mentioned above, Luke with a lightsaber would be welcome -a very classic aspect of Star Wars. At this point I'd rather they left Kylo Ren out of the film entirely. I don't need yet another I'm-evil-therefore-I'm-cool Darksider. In fact I'd rather not have the new film at all. I don't need to see a film just to see
Spoiler:


I'm sick of the hype for this new film. They act like they're giving us a present, when they're actually taking something away from us, with the new film reputedly
Spoiler:
I never asked for a new film. Considering how the last few Star Wars films went I was quite happy with the idea of there being no more. All I want in Star Wars is the Original Original Trilogy restored.

As for bringing back the old cast, that would have been great if it weren't just to stick it to them. And why didn't they bring back Lando too? He was a major character. We've got Chewbacca and the bloody droids but no Lando?
