The Art of Rogue One: Incredible art work for Jedha

I just found this artwork from Jedha. It is study that you can find in the book The Art of Rogue One.

I did not yet write any article about Rogue One but this picture of Jedha is really brilliant and this would have be gorgeous to see in the movie. You can really feel the oppression of the Empire on this picture: The Star Destroyer "sucking" life and energy of the city through these tubes, iconic Tie Fighters flying around, the fire and smoke showing devastation, this AT-ST controlling this long line of prisoners, refugees or pilgrims... This page alone shows what can do the Empire to any workld of the galaxy. It helps understand the motivations of the rebellion.
It is always hard to show this in the Films and Rogue One could have done much more on this aspect.

I think this book is worth a look !

New Mobile game: Star Wars Arena. Let us Fight with our Heroes !

Netmarble Games and Lucasfilm have released yesterday a new mobile game in the Star Wars Universe : Star Wars Arena. (App Store and Google Play).

I installed it today and I have to say that it is quite hard to stop playing !
You can control ALL your favorite characters and fight in an "arena" a sort of "capture flag" game. 

That is fluid, good graphics and entertaining ! 

The character panel is very large: films, tv series and even comic books with for example fan Favorite Doc. Aphra ! 

You have to build your squad and upgrade your team and then you can fight player versus player real time. 

Each battle is different because you have a real live opponent that reacts differently in every battle. 

Come to fight with me in the arena !
See some of my screen shot on the left.

Star Wars Rebels Mid-season 3 Trailer: 4 Huge connections to Rogue One !

Just enjoy this trailer : 

THis is really amazing the quantity of content we see in this trailer. First I will shortly talk about the connections to Rogue One :

1. The search for the Imperial new weapon, the death Star: 
the opening episode featuring Saw Gerrera will be based on Geonosis. Saw on our rebels are trying to understand what the Empire has to done on the planet. They will probably get some first clues of the creation of a super weapon. (see an other related article here)

2. The death troopers: Grand Admiral Thrawn seems to have like Krennic his own guard of these elite troopers.

Star Wars Rebels next January releases are very existing!

Here above a screen shot of the wookipedia page related to rebels January releases.

Episode 10-11

First a double episode based on Geonosis. We got to see the following clip where we can see Saw Gerrera meet with Rex, Kannan and Ezra. Saw and Rex recognise themselves and that is making again a nice connection to the clone wars animated series. 

It says here above that the ghost crew searches for a missing rebel team. Rex leads the recognition as he knows the terrain. The rebel group is Saw's, but he seems the only survivor....
