Star Wars Rogue One: The director’s important cameo that you have not noticed!

Gareth Edwards, the director of Star Wars: Rogue One, also enjoyed making a small cameo in his own film. But be careful, its role proves quite important!

When you’re a fan of Star Wars since childhood and that is projected to the head of a film in the franchise, obviously it feels a little (much) pressure. Such was the case of JJ Abrams, who in addition to heavy task of resurrecting the saga with The Force Revival . But Gareth Edwards, who directed Rogue One , had to be in the same case, even if the spin-off does not have the same issues as the episodes of the new trilogy. However, where JJ Abrams has not separated from his director’s hat throughout the filming of Episode VII, Gareth Edwards, he was allowed to don the costume of one of … characters in his film ! And yes, in addition to all the cameos we could locate in Star Wars: Rogue One , the director appears briefly in one of the final scenes of the movie, which he had also tease at His move to Star Wars Celebration Europe last July. And it has also a more important role, not necessarily for the same plot of Rogue One but especially for the fate of the galaxy … and if you do not have yourselves spotted this cameo, do not worry, Meltynautes, it’s normal!
It’s said that #RogueOne Director Gareth Edwards makes a cameo as a rebel at the very end of the film. But haven’t seen it myself yet

The character of Gareth Edwards is part of the crew of the Tantive IV
For the director appears in the famous sequence where Dark Vader begins to massacre the rebels in the corridors of the flagship. So inevitably one tends to concentrate on the high black silhouette of Lord Sith rather than on the faces of the fighters of the Rebel Alliance. These are particularly observers users who have spotted Gareth Edwards, who actually plays … the rebel officer allowing the shuttle Leia, the Tantive IV, to disengage from the flagship and then escape into hyperspace ! His character has a very important role since it is he who makes possible the flight of our princess, who uses these few hours (minutes?) Of respite to find a way to send the plans of the Black Star, A call for help to Obi-Wan Kenobi. We can say that the character of Gareth Edwards helped save the galaxy! But it is not the only director of the franchise to take a role in Star Wars: Rogue One . Rian Johnson , the director of Star Wars 8, part of the most anticipated films of 2017 , also had the right to make a small cameo. It has indeed revealed this little information at a panel of the Star Wars Celebration: ” [My assistant and I] are playing each one of the guys working in the laser chamber of the Death Star .”. Like what, even the directors can not resist the fun of the cameo! Did you spot the director?
