Gareth Edwards and Josh Trank to Attend Star Wars Celebration
Star Wars: Rogue One director Gareth Edwards and Josh Trank, the director of the second Star Wars spin-off movie, have been officially added to the special guests list for Celebration Anaheim.
From StarWars.com
Kathleen Kennedy, Kiri Hart and Pablo Hidalgo will be joined by directors Gareth Edwards and Josh Trank, who will share their experiences as the newest members of the Lucasfilm creative family. Learn how the teams came together and are collaborating to conceive and create the upcoming stand-alone films in the galaxy far, far away.
Two days ago THR reported that because of Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation “Disney will refrain from referring to Rogue One this summer in any promotional materials aimed at the general consumer (an exception is a Star Wars fan event in April).”
And now comes the confirmation that Disney will indeed be discussing Rogue One at Celebration. Another great news for the fans.
Also for some time now we haven’t heard anything about Josh Trank. Some people even doubted that he is still attached to the second Star Wars stand-alone movie especially after some unpleasant rumors coming from the set of Trank’s current project – the reboot of Fantastic Four. The director’s appearance at Celebration should put those rumors to rest.

Damn, Sunday at 11am.
Might want to indicate the day and time of their appearance in the article, @Viral Hide? Is that detail not worth reporting?
Hey Poe Dameron, chill out, or else the Imperials will shoot yeah down before you get the chance to sneak BB-8 out the door.
(and if you guys don’t know what I”m talking about, shame on you)
Edwards looks like a 30+ Luke Skywalker.
Can’t wait for April 16-19! Even though I won’t go to Celebration which is very sad, I’m still excited as hell!!
I think that, regardless of what you think of the rumors about Josh Trank (I hope they’re not true), Fantastic Four has been in a scramble for a while. An extra just announced that they finished filming reshoots nearly three months after they started them.

Trank? how about his minor problems on set of Fantastic4? How exactly does it appearance turn rumors down..
The rumor was that Josh Trank screwed up pretty badly and that both Fox and Disney are dropping him. This suggests that Disney is at least keeping him onboard for a project.
What actually happened on the set of fantastic 4?

There hasn’t been any official confirmation of these rumors, although the extensive period of reshoots for 3 months (when they said that they were only going to do them in January) isn’t exactly a good sign.
Think I will save my money and skip this movie.
I just haven’t been impressed by the casting choices for Rogue One.
There has literally only been one so far. It just so happens to be a great actress too. Felicity Jones doesn’t impress you? Wow!
Not everyone knows who she is in other countries..a lot of British movies don’t get shown unless it is an action movie like Kingsman or James Bond movie.
Guess I will look for her movies next time I’m at the library or if it is on tv.
To be honest I still don’t think she is right for the role and some one more edgier looking should have been picked.
