"Rogue One" Cast Gets Death Starred

Chris here. The rumors of behind the scenes trouble for Rogue One - A Star Wars Story keep circulating, but the actual goods just keep on delivering. Last week's full trailer was warmly received for its narrative details and for its snappy visuals, and now we have a new set of character posters to peruse. Whether the whispers are true or not, Disney doesn't seem to be shying away from Rogue One's darker tone. See the full set (and our thoughts) after the jump...

  • The reflection of the Death Star blueprints on the actors' faces is more than a little bit creepy, and for that we approve.Or maybe everyone is actually a robot?
  • But unlike the set for The Force Awakens, this crew is presented through sameness. Does that reflect the team aspect of this film or will these characters less distinct?
  • I've long been excited for how diverse this cast is and seeing them all assembled here only bolsters that sentiment.
  • But no Mads Mikkelsen?? Even a robot voiced by Alan Tudyk gets its own poster!
  • Riz Ahmed and Diego Luna sure are dreamy. Shouldn't the posters for all of their films just be their lovely faces?
  • Ben Mendelsohn's caped villain isn't the only one that loves a high collar. Forest, we see you, girl!

I'll always show up for Riz Ahmed. He almost salvaged Jason Bourne, even with a small underwritten part. Just almost though.
