The old design look of A New Hope is matched by the new VFX methods utilized in Rogue One.
About making sure Rogue One blend seamlessly into A New Hope, ILM’s John Knoll had this to say to CinemaBlend.
Of course, some fan had to go and connect the epic final moments of Rogue One and directly connect them to the opening scene from a New Hope.
Starting today, Rogue One is finally available on VOD, which means you can watch a double feature of this first-ever Star Wars story along with the movie that directly follows it, the one that started it all, 1977’s A New Hope.
