"Star Wars Story: Rogue One" opened in North America on December 16, and the premiere weekend won $155 million, while sweeping through many countries in Europe and Asia, igniting the passion of movie fans around the world with its unique charm, and even left high praise on social media such as "unparalleled" and "extraordinary like the Bible". In addition to the refreshing story, "Star Wars Story: Rogue One" also revealed that it has been shortlisted for the Oscar for best visual effects top ten, and will compete with a number of big hit films.

As the first standalone spin-off of Star Wars, Star Wars: Rogue One incorporates its own new elements, especially conquering audiences with magnificent and realistic war scenes. In the film, the rebel squad code-named "Rogue One" and the land and air battle of the Imperial Army are thrilling, and the "sense of reality" is a trump card played by director Gary Edwards in the creation. According to official disclosures, "Star Wars Story: Rogue One" invited the world's most authoritative visual effects expert John Knoll as executive producer, he used the most top real-time special effects technology in the filming, and director Edwards can use technology to see the general effect of the film's special effects when the actors perform, adding a lot of convenience to the directing performance.

In addition, Knoll also introduced new technologies to photograph the interior of the spacecraft that was attacked during the flight. His team built a giant 50-foot-diameter LED ring screen with a center 20-foot-wide screen to play moving images. The use of new technologies can add laser cannon fire flying through the portholes in space warfare, creating a more realistic visual effect on the battlefield.

Not only that, but the film production team also used as many live-action shots as possible, even if it was shot with a blue screen composite, it would also build sets as a live reference in order to add visual effects. Fans were impressed by the film's eye-catching visual effects: "It's a war movie, full of rough realism, the film depicts ordinary warriors who yearn for freedom in a brilliant way, and shoots the real Star Wars from different perspectives." ”

Not only does the film feature a dizzying variety of starships and intense battle scenes, but some new, visually stunning character formations also give viewers a fresh experience — in addition to the iconic Imperial Stormtroopers in the Star Wars films, director Gary Edwards also created the unique Death Soldiers in Star Wars: Rogue One. They are dressed in black armor and are extremely effective. Previously, only actors taller than 1.8 meters could wear stormtrooper costumes, while the dead soldier costumes in the new film were more oppressive, and the actors were all over 2.4 meters tall after wearing costumes, conveying a strong threat of the Imperial army on the big screen.

The film's visual effects have not only been praised by fans, but also favored by the Oscars - the latest news from Hollywood said that "Star Wars Story: Rogue One" was successfully shortlisted for the top ten best visual effects at the 89th Academy Awards, and will compete with films such as "Doctor Strange" and "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".
