Im just excited this movie should bring on a fix for the T-65 when FFG releases Rouge One wave. 
Rogue One Teaser Tomorrow on Good Morning America
He's wearing the same uniform that Wullf Yularen was wearing in Star Wars, and he was in Imperial Intelligence. So stands to reason the bad guy hunting the rebels would also be from Imperial Intelligence and uniformed similarly.
Nice catch on that one!
The only thing I was like "eh, what?" was that "tank" what was that? dosen't look imperial, why not just use AT-ST or AT-PT?
Oh please can there be cosmetic product tie in called rouge one
I'm curious about the weird X-shaped things mounted on top of the ISD/VSDs. Where did they come from?
It's an Imperial-I class Star Destroyer, as seen in ANH (watch the chase scene with the Tantive IV again - you'll notice the same tower). The Imperial-II (ESB and RotJ) had a shorter tower, there, and lacked the row of guns down the top center of the hull (you see those on this model, too).
So...nice touch of continuity, these are Imperial-Is instead of Imperial-IIs.

I think the Imps are escorting it, or just using local vehicles to transport stuff. Looks to have cargo containers on the back.

Ah, interesting. I think because all the cover art of the EU books/games is mostly post-Endor then that's what I'm used to seeing. Thanks for the info!
another nice touch of continuity is that AT-ATs look like the ones from Rebels (same time period) rather than those from ESB.
I prefer the ESB ones, but the fact that they look like the ones in Rebels makes total sense.
GOOOONNNNNKKKKK!
Are we sure Jyn is Jan btw?
Isn't she...
Any screek shots of new ships??
I am waiting for a Jek Porkins cameo, maybe making some KFC commercial in between.
Honestly, screentime with Jek would be awesome!

IMDB has her listed as Jyn Erso.

As long as his flight suit matches that shirt ...
Jek would never get selected by KFC as their spokesman .. his name isn't Jek Chicken-ins. He's the spokesman for the other white meat.

He's missing the canisters and cape. Admiral of Intelligence has a neat ring to it though.
Wullf was a colonel. 
As a point for consideration .. how much research do the movie makers put into these things? We nerds are going to over-analyse every single scene, prop, word, etc. But I'd argue we're a minority. Most people who see this film will be your average fair weather SW fan who couldn't even tell you the name of Luke's wingmen in the Yavin battle, let alone what helmets they wore.
Despite being an interesting topic of conversation ... is it possible that we're looking for something that is just simply not there? Maybe Disney just applies the Rule of Cool to Imperial uniforms, AT-AT design, character names, etc. within the design space that identifies the character's affiliation, vehicle ,etc.
Edited by ConandoodleWell the writer is a huge Star Wars fan (and from the UK, woo!) and I think Gareth Edwards has said he's always been a massive fan.
So I think yes, a lot of us are reading WAY too into things and applying our own EU bias to it.
But, I also think everything is there for a reason.
Was it? Did I miss something?The Force Awakens was Star Wars with lens flare. [...]
Some people can only experience fandom by s****ing on the happiness of others. That's all you missed.
Awww, I'm sorry I don't like the same things you do, kiddo.
Maybe you shouldn't **** on my opinion. Ever think of that? No, you were probably too busy thinking you were special, lol. Seems like quite a few people share my opinion.
Opinions are like ass-holes
Everyone's got one, and they all stink but mine
Does that mean that Maz Kanata has opinions for eyes?

Toys brah. Got to sell dem toys.

It's more "script calls for admiral of intel. Is sther anyone like that in canon?"
Wullf was a colonel.
I mean the new guy dressed like Wullf but with cape, canisters, admiral on his chest.
