NewsYahoo Movies'Rogue One' Artist Doug Chiang on Early Concepts, His 781 U-Wing Drafts, and What Makes a Design Feel Like 'Star Wars'
When Doug Chiang began designing Rogue One (available on Digital HD now and Blu-Ray April 4), the stand-alone Star Wars film was just a concept with no script or director. As soon as he heard John Knoll’s idea for a Death Star heist film, the Rogue One production designer (who is also the VP and executive creative director of Lucasfilm) began sketching out characters, ships and locations for a Star Wars adventure that would take place immediately prior to the events of Episode IV: A New Hope. “That’s how I started with George when he hired me to head the art department for the prequel trilogy back in 1995,” Chiang tells Yahoo Movies.

Donnie Yen and Jiang Wen in Rogue One. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (on Digital HD this Friday and Blu-ray April 4) was such a massive hit that it’s hard to recall how risky the idea seemed. A screenwriter with several sci-fi films (The Book of Eli, After Earth) and Star Wars: Rebels episodes under his belt, Whitta was hired to turn the events that preceded 1977’s A New Hope — specifically, the theft of the Death Star plans — into a screenplay that would feel simultaneously like Star Wars and something entirely new.
