Talk:Rogue One: A Star Wars Story: Difference between revisions
I watched this movie yesterday and I was actually quite pleased. I am a big Star Wars fan, but Episode VII felt like a complete rehash of the original. This, however, was alot more original and in my opinion, a better movie.--[[User:H3nry8adger1982|H3nry8adger1982]] ([[User talk:H3nry8adger1982|talk]]) 08:48, 21 December 2016 (EST)H3nry8adger1982

:I loved it, it managed to feel like a Star Wars movie while bringing some legit originality to the series (Dat hallways scene at the end tho!!) --[[User:RedRobinAlpha|RedRobinAlpha]] ([[User talk:RedRobinAlpha|talk]]) 10:02, 21 December 2016 (EST)
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:
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:
From a better picture ive seen it looks like the grip and trigger guard off a Sterling was used, i'm not sure if any more of the Sterling is used though.--The Mercenary (talk) 13:52, 13 December 2016 (EST)
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.
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 Tabanna-Jacked 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:Error creating thumbnail: File missingThere 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.
After seeing a far better view of this is definitely either a heavily modified MP40 lower and grip/trigger guard or a full receiver from a Rexim Favor submachine gun with the magazine housing removed and plenty of added details on the barrel and it's extension. The shoulder stock could be off any number of rifles. --The Mercenary (talk) 18:11, 17 December 2016 (EST)
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)
Your right, at a glance I incorrectly assumed it was just one of the shore trooper blasters without the scope, but it is something totally different to either that or the machine gun used by Bistan as it has rotary barrels. --commando552 (talk) 20:48, 28 November 2016 (EST)
An M60 combined with an M134, it seems. There's better pictures out there of the accessory that comes with the 3.75″ figure.--Quarax (talk) 23:35, 5 December 2016 (EST)
Rogue One weapons video
The Star Wars Show did a segment about some of the Rogues one weapons that showed a few interesting things. Firstly, it seems that most of the weapons are airsoft that actually fire to give the performers something to react to. It also seems that there are bright lights built into the muzzle synchronised with firing, I assume so that they can more easily sync up the special effects. Krennic's blaster is actually a break action that is fed from a three shot cylinder. Some of the rifles carried by the rebels in this are takedown rifles that consist of a base pistol, a stock, and an extended barrel (which also contains a telescopic sight and an extra magazine). --commando552 (talk) 17:48, 14 December 2016 (EST)
