Why was there no opening crawl?
So were right in the middle of talking about that.
This wasshown at a Star Wars Celebration event in June.
Its unclear if it was ever intended for the movie itself, though.
Where does Rogue One fit in the timeline?
Immediately beforeA New Hope.
It could be a matter of minutes.
Who is Saw Gerrera?
Back then, betweenAttack of the ClonesandRevenge of the Sith,Saw lived on Onderon with his sister.
Remind you of anyone?
Its not clear exactly why he decided that this was the right time to stop fighting.
Or maybe Forest Whitaker had another film to shoot.
Your guess is as good as ours on this one.
Whats the history between Galen Erso and Director Krennic?
Galen was a scientist who worked with his wife Lyra while trying to avoid getting involved in the conflict.
We saw brief glimpses of the tension between Krennic and Galen during this time in Jyns flashback sequence.
Eventually, Saw Gerrera helped the Ersos escape the Empires clutches and go into hiding on Lahmu.
Where was such and such a scene from the trailer?
We may well do an article examining all the missing scenes and moments when we get a minute.
But why are they not in the movie?
Thats the best answer well get until someone wants to spill some beans regarding specific editing decisions.
Which bits were reshot?
That is just pure speculation on my part, though, it must be said.
How did they raise Peter Cushing from the grave and de-age Carrie Fisher?
Cushings CGI likeness was pasted over a real performance from living actor andHolby Citystar Guy Henry.
He was gonna be totally replaced, and then had to keep it all secret.
So, um, that was a big ask.
From there, we imagine ILM utilized similar techniques to the de-aging used on Robert Downey Jnr.
inCaptain America: Civil Warand Michael Douglas inAnt-Man.
A lot of digital compositing is involved in that sort of thing.
Will the resurrection of Cushing mean we see loads of digital ghouls on screen in future?
But I could be wrong.
What were the angry Mos Eisley people doing on Jedha?
We dont know exactly what they were doing on Jedha.
Is the Death Star powered by lightsaber crystals?
Is Darth Vaders castle on Mustafar?
Hes obviously got an attachment to the place.
What was Darth Vader doing in that tank?
Maybe Vaders manifold wounds and dismemberments accrued over the years require him to visit such a tank regularly.
Or maybe its just a snazzy space bath.
Everyone likes a good soak after a tough day.
Why does Bail Organa look younger than Obi-Wan?
Thats one definitive answer on this list, then.
Why didnt any Bothans die?
Because that was the other Death Star.
Luckily, that one had a huge flaw in it as well.
Was that Admiral Ackbar in the space battle?
Hes another member of the Mon Calamari race, whos risen to the same rank as the legendary Ackbar.
Ackbar and the other ones weve seen so far are more tropical (and colorful).
Will there be a sequel to Rogue One?
But nothing Im ready to talk about.
If we hear more about that, youll be the first to know.
Will we see any of the main characters again?
Well only know for sure on eway or the other if/when Lucasfilm announces something.
Theres no chance that any of them survived to tell the tale after that mission, though.
Where were the rebels from Star Wars Rebels?
(Ill have to pay double attention at my next viewing to confirm those last two, though.)
But why no live-action versions ofRebels core cast?
Well, its probably because the majority of cinemagoers wouldnt know who they are.
Im sure whichever Ghost crewmembers are still around were lending a hand in the background.

TheChronicleandFantastic Fourdirector left the movie ages ago, though, and hasnt been replaced.
Where does Blue Milk come from?
Thank you, finally, for getting to the Big Question.
If you prefer sparkling drinks, bantha-blood fizz is also a genuine thing in the canon.
