By Last week, the cast members of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and director Gareth Edwards dropped by Facebook HQ in Menlo Park, CA for a Q&A and special 28-minute preview of the film.
A video of the Q&A session was posted on Facebook by Facebook. In attendance are Edwards, Felicity Jones, Riz Ahmed, Alan Tudyk, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, and Donnie Yen. There are no spoilers and not too many details about the movie, but they seem like swell bunch of people (though a little tired). After the Q&A is a brief new featurette.
Give the Q&A and featurette a watch below.
So how was that actual footage that was screened like? So far, the reactions from people who saw the footage have been positive. In addition to select Facebook employees, a number of film writers, critics, and industry people got to see the footage at Skywalker Ranch.
Over at Collider, they’ve compiled a number of Twitter reactions from people who saw the footage, including from EIC Steven Weintraub. Here is all you need to know.
ROGUE ONE footage we saw was opening 10 min or so plus a few more complete scenes and a montage of other stuff from 2nd and 3rd act.

Just saw 28 minutes of ROGUE ONE at Skywalker Ranch. Honestly looks fantastic. Massive scope. Multiple world's. Huge action. Fuck yes.

Spoke to someone who may have seen Rogue One. They said top 3 Star Wars films were Empire, Star Wars and then Rogue One. Hope that's true.

Hype.
Reviews for Rogue One (the entire movie) should start showing up late this week. May the Force be with us.
