Talk:Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

Rogue One Celebration Images

Some images from the Reel:

Title

It's good to see that someone finally split the trilogies up, but I'm not sure about calling this trilogy "Stories"; right now, it seems they're calling it the Anthology Series.--Quarax (talk) 03:14, 16 July 2016 (EDT)

They originally called it Anthology, but the subtitle now just seems to be "A Star Wars Story". --Ben41 (talk) 14:06, 16 July 2016 (EDT)

That's only Rogue One, though. The series itself hasn't been renamed.--Quarax (talk) 16:06, 16 July 2016 (EDT)

As far as I have heard it isn't, that is the subtitle they are giving all of them. I specifically remember the point at which they changed from "Anthology", because a lot of people hated this new one. There was a point at Celebration where I believe Kathleen Kennedy referred to Rogue One as "our first Star Wars story" which further suggests that this is what they are calling them. They also have not used the term "Anthology" since then. I wouldn't be surprised if they drop or change this as people really don't seem to like it, but currently that is the most accurate description. --commando552 (talk) 18:19, 16 July 2016 (EDT)

Alright, fair enough.--Quarax (talk) 23:43, 16 July 2016 (EDT)

Also the upcoming Han Solo movie has been referred too as "Untitled Han Solo Star Wars Story" --RedRobinAlpha (talk) 17:15, 17 July 2016 (EDT)

Prop images

I took a few photos of some of the prop weapons which are vaguely helpful (unfortunately i only had my phone with me and the lighting and glass cases are less than ideal).

• Firstly, the death troopers have this pistol strapped to their hip:

This looks like the BlasTech SE-14C Blaster Pistol (Rexim-Favor Mk5) fro mthe original trilogy with possibly a different scope.

• The death trooper rifle appears to be the standard stormtrooper rifle with a barrel shroud with a flashlight on the side with a slightly modified Troy PDW stock:

• The shoretrooper rifle again appears to be based on the standard rifle but has a barrel shroud and a second barrel of some sort underneath:

Not quite sure what the stock is, might have started life a a Magpul PRS but not sure about that one.

• Director Orson Krennic has this holstered pistol which I originally though was nothing:

On second viewing though, is this based on the back end of an MP40?

• Here is a shot of Jyn's pistol in its holster:

I had assumed that all of the weapons in this were just solid resin props based on real guns, but that fact that the magazine is missing here suggests that it may actually be a real gun or an Airsoft. Or maybe it is just a fabricated prop where they went to the trouble of adding a removable "power pack".

• Chirrut has this weird unfolding blaster bow thing:

It initially looks like nothing but I think that the back end may use stormtrooper blaster parts:

• There were also several standard stormtrooper costumes on display, and they actually had two slightly different rifle props. The first was the classic rifle, but there was also this one:

It is very similar but there are a couple of differences. It has a flashlight on the barrel shroud, the scope is slightly different and I think that magazine is longer.

Nice pictures! Wish I was there. A few notes:

• The death trooper stock is a VFC HK416C stock.
• Krennic's blast is indeed a modified MP40.
• Jyn's pistol (I think) is a WE Luger.
• I thought I spotted gun parts on that bow. At first I thought it might be MG15 parts, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
• The flashlight is a knock off (made by Element) SureFire M300 Mini Scout Light WeaponLight.--Quarax (talk) 23:42, 16 July 2016 (EDT)

You're right about the stock, forgot about the hk equivalent. As for the bow, the main thing that makes me think it is Sterling based is the pivot behind the pistol grip where the folding stock would normally go. This may just be coincidence though, as having what appears to be an ejection port on the left side is wrong. --commando552 (talk) 04:57, 17 July 2016 (EDT)

I think you're right about it being a Sterling, but maybe they only used the grip?--Quarax (talk) 15:37, 17 July 2016 (EDT)

On a side note, Krennic's blaster is also seen pretty clearly in the first trailer. It's from a distance but pretty well lit and offers a decent view if anyone wants to cap it. It's at about a minute in.--One shot is all it takes. (talk) 03:59, 18 July 2016 (EDT)

Pao's Blaster Rifle

The Rebel commando Pao carries a rifle built around an unknown base firearm, probably an AR15/M16.

I don't think it is based on an AR, here is a more side on image of it:

There doesn't appear to be any part that is based on an AR. From images I have seen Pao is smaller than humans, so this is probably a smaller scale weapon to suit him. Also in this batch of promo images was this one of Moroff:

He is carrying what appears to be a MG34 based rifle, and on his pack is a Sterling based weapon. --commando552 (talk) 19:25, 28 November 2016 (EST)

That's definitely an M60, not an MG34.--BlackHawk510 (talk) 20:29, 28 November 2016 (EST)
