Website Star Wars News Net has turned us on to a reported press junket released in France that revealed some all-new hi-res photos of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. And, while some of the photos have been seen before, through other venues like magazine articles and trailers, these photos come free of watermarks and as mentioned, are completely high definition.

The 20 photos first popped up on French site Mulderville, who tweeted and Facebooked them.

Additionally, it appears as if StarWars.com has updated its databank entries for several Rogue One characters, as The Star Wars Underworld has pointed out.

BISTAN

The efforts of the Rebellion have drawn warriors from across the galaxy, fighting to liberate their homes and free their people from the oppression of the Empire. Though Bistan wants to ensure the freedom of fellow lakaru, truth is, he’d rather fight no matter what, relishing the thrill of action.

PAO

An amphibious Dr Tabata, the fierce commando Pao charges into battle with the Empire while shouting a full-throated battle cry of “Sa´kalla!” as is his custom. He joins the Rogue One team on its historic mission to secure the Death Star plans.

MOROFF

Moroff seeks out combat zones in the galaxy to sell his brawn and firepower to anyone who might need it. Not interested in the details of the Empire versus rebels conflict, the mighty Gigoran mercenary figures there’s money to be made for a towering heavy gunner of great strength.

EDRIO TWO TUBES

Edrio Two Tubes is a mercenary pilot who flies alongside his eggmate, Benthic. They share the nickname derived from the breathing apparatus that allows Tognath physiology to process oxygen atmospheres. Edrio’s native world of Yar Togna was conquered and occupied by the Empire, forcing him to flee as a refugee. With a desire to strike back at the Empire, Edrio and Benthic have allied with Saw Gerrera.
