Marking a new direction in the Star Wars film universe, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is a sci-fi adventure directed by Gareth Edwards (Godzilla). It’s the first in the series to take part separate from the Skywalker saga, happening just before A New Hope in the timeline. The film stars Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, Jiang Wen, and Forest Whitaker.
In a time of conflict, a group of unlikely heroes band together on a mission to steal the plans to the Death Star, the Empire’s ultimate weapon of destruction. This key event in the Star Wars timeline brings together ordinary people who choose to do extraordinary things, and in doing so, become part of something greater than themselves.
“We’re the first [standalone film] out, so knowing these films could be different was exciting, but how different was the big question and what does that mean,” says Edwards. “I love Star Wars. I grew up with the original trilogy and to me they’re the ultimate movies. I feel that a massive upside to not being a part of the saga is we have a license to be different. And hopefully we took that license and ran with it.”
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is rated PG.
