Since returning from an extended hiatus, The Star Wars Show has been a fantastic source of behind the scenes material for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. In a new weekly segment titled "Rogue Reports", Pablo Hidalgo of the Lucasfilm Story Group has been taking us behind the scenes of the new film and revealing fascinating details about the production.
It's an incredible time to be a Star Wars fan right now. There's plenty of Star Wars to enjoy, but there's also many ways for fans themselves to get involved and let their creativity flow. One of those ways is the Star Wars Fan Film Awards, which were recently brought back from an extended hiatus and are now underway. Lucasfilm is currently seeking submissions for this year's awards, and they just upped the ante with a big announcement. Today, in a video was uploaded to the official Star Wars YouTube channel, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story director Gareth Edwards and co-producer John Swartz announced that themselves, along with executive producer John Knoll, will be the judges for the "Filmmaker Select Award". You can take a look at the video below(also, check out those AT-ATs in the background!):
The winner will be treated to a Star Wars prize pack, a limited-edition print of Star Wars concept art autographed by the artist themselves, as well as a commemorative trophy. Winners in all categories, which include Best Animation, Best Non-Fiction, Spirit of Fandom, Best Comedy, Best Visual Effects, and Audience Choice, will be announced at a ceremony at this Star Wars Celebration in London this July. As they mention, submissions end on April 24th. You can head over to StarWars.com now to learn more!
