Years ago my Rogue One co-writer Chris Weitz and I had a cool idea for a TV show about a Mossad-style Rebel team hunting down Imperial war criminals who fled and disappeared after the fall of the Empire. Could have been a cool bookend to R1. We never did anything with it though.

The next time someone tells you reshoots are bad news… Gareth directed the hell out of this scene and he has a great little cameo too, he’s the guy who pulls the lever that releases the Tantive IV.

Amazing how easily these people forget that so many of cinema’s biggest blockbuster IPs - Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Toy Story, Avatar, The Incredibles, Frozen, Indiana Jones, John Wick, Ghostbusters, Minions - started with someone taking a chance on an original idea.
Paramount CEO Brian Robbins says they are moving away from releasing original animated movies in theaters & instead will focus on IPs.
“We’re not going to release an expensive original animated movie and just pray people will come.”

Indiana Jones, arguably the greatest action hero of all time, gets the shit beat out of him in almost every fight. The point isn’t about whether he wins or loses the fight, the point is that he always gets back up.
Jason Statham negotiated a deal limiting how badly he can be beaten up. Vin Diesel has his sister police the # of punches he gets. Dwayne Johnson enlists producers to balance his wins & losses.

Tammy Duckworth was a Lieutenant-Colonel in the Army who lost both legs serving in Iraq and went on to become a United States Senator. Tucker Carlson was born into a frozen fish stick fortune and went on to host a racist TV show. You decide which of them is “deeply unimpressive”.
Here's what Tucker said about Tammy Duckworth tonight that prompted her fiery response:
"Most people just ignore her. But when Duckworth does speak in public, you're reminded what a deeply silly and unimpressive person she is... These people actually hate America."
