Re: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (12/16/16)
That statement I posted below was a big waste of time for TFA, nothing memorable from any non speaking alien in that movie.
Story arcs, give me a break.
The most elaborate one ended up being that silly cgi monster with the tentacles and dumb name.
"The creature team also created smaller character arcs and stories for each group of aliens to play out themselves during takes, “which allowed J.J. [Abrams] to just treat them as part of the cast and feel free just to shoot the environment without worrying necessarily that these were particularly special in any way.”
“We didn’t try to treat them as a special effect,” Scanlan admitted. “We just wanted them to be part of the ’Star Wars’ world, and to feel natural in that world.”
