Rogue One provided that great bridge between the first trilogy from the more recent, albeit not as welcomed one. But doing so had been a big challenge, and that's all because of the much-needed transition that would stitch two very different trilogies.
Speaking to Digital Trends, Lucasfilm's Doug Chiang shared a little about the process of how they had gone about choosing elements and designing new aspects that still felt familiar.
"Our approach was to keep the design exactly the same, and we designed it as if George only shot that particular set from one point of view. So for Rogue One, Gareth was going to turn the camera around and show the other parts of Yavin Hangar. It was a great exploration of design to create something that was true to the classic film but opened up the universe even more."
The good thing about this is that Lucasfilm was already aware of just how much they will include from the older movies. And according to Chiang, the goal was already set when they were creating Rogue One, and it was to ensure that 80% of the movie and build would fit exactly with Star Wars: A New Hope with a few choice nuances.
The included the U-Wing, which Chiang was their way of attributing to the timelessness of the X-Wing's design, but one that would still be obsolete that it won't be part of the latter movie.
On this account, I'm sure we can all say that the team of Rogue One has found success in this. You can re-watch all the action and great design in Rogue One when it comes out in DVD this April or via digital HD, already released.
