Star Wars: Rogue One director reveals the prop Easter egg added by George Lucas

Every fan on the planet has predicted there’s going to be some Star Wars Easter eggs in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: Rogue One. They’d be right to think so too, as director Gareth Edwards has already hinted in the new issue of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Total Film magazine - on sale now - that there’s one item in particular people should look ജout for.
Although it wasn’t something he would have picked himself, when George Lucas says he likes a certain helmet lyi💝ng around set, it’s not surprising that Edwards felt the certain urge to put it in the film.
It was clear from the beginning to Edwards that "whatever [Lucas] liked🌱 was pretty much guaranteed to be i🔯n the film," as you would expect when the creator of a franchise which has gripped the imaginations of millions takes a tour around the Rogue One design department.
Edwards says that sitting in the departmentඣ was "a helmet we loved but didn’t know where to put it; there wasn’t really an opportunity to use it". But when Lucas was g🍸iven a tour of the design department, the father of Star Wars "walked past it and went 'That’s cool, I like that'".
Unsurprisingly that led to a renewed determination to put the aforementioned mysterious helmet in the film, a✃s the offhand comment by Lucas spurred Edwards into action, and at the mention of the helmet they "looked at each other like, 'OK, we have to put that in the film!'".
Sadly, Edwards stopped short of giving us a descripti🌼on of the helmet in question so it'll be hard to spot in the movie, but hopefully he'll let us in on which one it is after the movie is released.
Directed by Gareth Edwards and starring Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Forest Whitaker, and Alan Tudyk, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is scౠheduled to open in UK on Decemb🃏er 15, 2016 and in the US a day later.
