10 THINGS WE LEARNED FROM DOUG CHIANG’S ROGUE ONE PANEL
Via Starwars.com:
THE LEGENDARY STAR WARS DESIGNER DISCUSSES BRINGING THE STORY OF ROGUE ONE TO LIFE.
Doug Chiang is a legend of Star Wars and he’s been playing in that world as an artist for more than 20 years, working on the Special Editions, the prequels, and, now, the new generation of Star Wars films. At Star Wars Celebration Orlando, he offered a presentation on the design of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and we were on the scene to take down the 10 most fascinating facts from the panel.
1. For Rogue One, design was happening the whole time. According to Chiang, “Production design is a team effort and I had a great partner in Neil Lamont. We oversaw a team of 47 artists.” Chiang and these artists worked on Rogue One for years. Not only was there a long time to design through the development phase of the film, this team worked for six months through principal photography and then they spent a year designing the world after principal photography had finished. “Production design no longer ends with principal photography.”

11 HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE POWERFUL “40 YEARS OF STAR WARS” PANEL
Via Starwars.com:
READ A FULL REPORT AND SEE PHOTOS FROM THE REUNION THAT KICKED OFF CELEBRATION ORLANDO IN HISTORIC FASHION.
Star Wars stars and creators from across the history of the saga came together for “40 Years of Star Wars” — an emotional, funny, warm, and powerful panel that kicked off Celebration Orlando today. The surprises were many: George Lucas, unannounced, emerged to rapturous applause when introduced by Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy and remained onstage throughout. Harrison Ford, also unannounced, received a long standing ovation as he made his first Celebration appearance. Billie Lourd, Carrie Fisher’s daughter, offered a loving tribute to her mother including a line-for-line reading of A New Hope‘s “You’re my only hope” monologue. And the festivities closed with the right-stage curtain pulling back to reveal John Williams and the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra, playing “Princess Leia’s Theme” in tribute to Carrie Fisher, followed by more Star Wars classics.
Hosted by Warwick Davis, the panel opened with a video looking back at Star Wars, from interviews with fans in 1977 to references in The Simpsons, and would feature more Star Wars legends: Dave Filoni, Ian McDiarmid and Hayden Christensen (making his first Celebration appearance since 2002) together, Billy Dee Williams, Peter Mayhew, Anthony Daniels, and Mark Hamill, in addition to Kennedy, Lucas, and Ford. All reminisced, told stories, remembered absent friends, and celebrated Star Wars. Here are the highlights.
