I can die happy now. He really liked the movie. It was the most important review to me.
Gareth Edwards’ reaction to George Lucas seeing Rogue One

fysw:
“At the center of the story is Jyn Erso (played by Felicity Jones), an outlaw who becomes a key agent for the struggling alliance of Rebels. Here, we see her and pilot Bodhi Rook (Riz Ahmed) in a familiar Star Wars scene — a gathering around a briefing room to discuss the plan of attack. But she is surrounded by new faces: Senator Jebel (Jonathan Aris, of Sherlock) in red and grey; Senator Vaspar (Fares Fares, of Tyrant and Zero Dark Thirty) in blue; and Senator Pamlo (Sharon Duncan-Brewster, EastEnders and Bad Girls) in gold. In the foreground with her back to the camera is the leader of these leaders: Mon Mothma, played by Genevieve O’Reilly (Glitch) who is reprising the role from the prequels.” [x]

When you head to theaters to see “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” next month, you’ll want to keep an eye out for a certain prop. Director Gareth Edwards was aware that George Lucas always like a certain kind of helmet on the set. Edwards and his designers tried, but couldn’t really find a place where it fit in their plans for the movie. But when George Lucas was given a tour of the set, one of the first things he spotted was said helmet, saying “That’s cool, I like that!”. When you get that endorsement from the maker, you find a way. Now we’ll all be sitting in theater guessing at helmets. “Rogue One” opens December 16th.
