Gareth Edwards, John Knoll, Kathleen Kennedy and the Rogue One cast are all gathered together at Lucasfilm headquarters for a special press conference. Hit the jump for the full videos from the event.

Probably the most interesting bit from the press conference was the news that George Lucas saw Rogue One 2 days ago. Gareth Edwards shared that he can die happy now, without revealing what exactly Lucas told him after that. It seems that he really liked the movie. 🙂

Also it was interesting when Kathleen Kennedy said that we won’t see Rogue One characters in any other Star Wars movies.

You can watch the 2 parts of the press conference below, thanks to Collider:
