Star Wars news seems to be coming thick and fast today, first we have the director of Star Wars Ep.XI announced as Colin Trevorrow, with the success he's currently enjoying with the fantastic Jurassic World it is hardly surprising that Lucasfilm have snapped him up to direct one of their sequel trilogy movies. Definitely looking forward to seeing what he brings to that galaxy far, far away.
We also have casting news on the first of the stand alone movies Rogue One, and that cast is extensive and impressive, check out the article here:

It is that image that certainly has me intrigued. Gritty and dirty looking, definitely gives you that authentic Star Wars look via The Dirty Dozen/ Saving Private Ryan like vibe they seem to be going for. I'm sold.
Also intrigued by the vast multicultural cast they've put together (love how the two oriental characters are practically dressed as Samurai, harking back to some of the original influences on Star Wars in the first place), will definitely be interesting to see these guys in action and witness how they work together as a cohesive fighting force.
