This nine-minute video by Barre Fong combines the very ending of Rogue One seamlessly to A New Hope:
“Rogue One” Spliced with “A New Hope” by Barre Fong
Nice job! It was pretty clear from just seeing Rogue One in the theaters how well the team not only wrote but propped, set-dressed, and costumed their movie to match the George Lucas -led original. This merger makes it very explicit, though. A hat-tip to all involved.
In general, I really enjoy comparing originals and recreations (or originals and adaptations), and the pleasure is multiplied when the successor is expertly and thoughtfully made. That’s one reason why Peter Jackson et al.’s making-of documentaries for the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies are still the gold standard for movie extras—hearing about the design process is fascinating.
Hey, look! We found a thing on the internet! We thought it was cool, and wanted to share it with you.
