** A newsreel-style opening shows up in both ''Godzilla'' and ''The Creator''.
** He seems to have some admiration for Asian cultures of various sorts. ''Godzilla'' is of course an American remake of a Japanese film, ''Rogue One'' has one of canon's first major Asian characters in Chirrut Imwe, and ''The Creator'' features a war between a Western and an Asian superstate, with the latter portrayed more sympathetically.



* CreatorThumbprint: ''Scale''. Both ''Film/Godzilla2014'' and ''Film/RogueOne'' really love to utilize foreshortening to show off just how small and almost insignificant everything in the foreground is compared to what's in the back. Both also feature very similar shots of enormous leviathans (Godzilla and the [=AT-ACTs=]) dramatically emerging from the fog, and images of their [[FearsomeFoot massive feet]] smashing into the ground to show off just how ''huge'' they are in comparison to the protagonists.

''The Creator'' continues this trend with several giant American war machines and another deadly killer space station.

Impressed by what the young director achieved with such a small budget, Creator/WarnerBros and Creator/LegendaryPictures decided to let him tackle, as just his second foray as director, a much bigger project. Having already made a film about his own original monsters, Gareth Edwards would now handle [[Franchise/{{Godzilla}} the King of the Monsters]] himself: ''Film/{{Godzilla|2014}}''. Made on a much bigger budget of $160 million, the film takes a RevisitingTheRoots approach to the franchise, hewing more closely to the dark tone of [[Film/{{Gojira}} the very first film]]. Despite the big budget and grand scale, the film crew has stated that the film is still essentially an indie film at heart. Shortly afterwards, he was hired by ''Creator/{{Disney}}'' and its subsidary, Lucasflim, to direct the first ''Franchise/StarWars'' spin-off film, ''Film/RogueOne''. While he was originally intended to direct a sequel to ''Godzilla'', he opted to take a break instead after completing his work on ''Rogue One'', and was replaced by [[Film/TrickRTreat Michael Dougherty]] (''Film/X2XMenUnited'', ''Film/SupermanReturns'', ''Film/Krampus'', ''[[Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019 Godzilla: King of the Monsters]]'').
