10. Inside The Imperial Base

Probably from a little later in the film, we see Jyn, Luna (gleaned from some #ShirtSpeculation) and Tudyk's robot.

This is a bit of a better look at that mo-cap character, and we can see his design is somewhat reminiscent of 8T-88 from Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight, albeit with a more hunched body. Whitaker's suit also has elements in it similar to the aforementioned Dark Troopers from the first game, so perhaps the adventures of Kyle Katarn are a stylistic point of inspiration for the film (after all, he was the one to steal the plans originally).

His role in the film won't be revealed until the CGI is done, but he's likely another legit member of the team.

Anyway, to the location. We're in some Imperial base (which one cheeky sod in the WhatCulture office pointed out looks a bit like the Jubilee Line), with troopers storming out (eh?), either in evacuation or to attack. I'd say the latter - this is probably part of the movie's big final battle.

Note the new Scout Trooper camo variant too - that points to this being a swampy/desert location (that's important).
