I did not see any posts about the upcoming film.

If there is one, please delete.



Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, or simply Rogue One, is an upcoming American epic space opera film directed by Gareth Edwards and written by Gary Whitta and Chris Weitz, from an idea by visual effects supervisor John Knoll. It will be the first film in the Star Wars Anthology series, a collection of stand-alone stories set in the Star Wars universe, and will star Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Riz Ahmed, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Jiang Wen, Forest Whitaker, Mads Mikkelsen, and Alan Tudyk. Set shortly before the events of Star Wars (1977), the story will center on a group of Rebel spies on a mission to steal the plans for the Empire's new weapon, the Death Star.

The film is produced by Lucasfilm and will be distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. Principal photography began at Elstree Studios, near London during early August 2015. Rogue One will be released on December 16, 2016, one year after the franchise's latest film, Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015).

Following the foundation of the Galactic Empire, a wayward band of Rebel fighters comes together to carry out a desperate mission: to steal the plans for the Death Star before it can be used to enforce the Emperor's rule.[

I am excited for Rogue One, but it won't kick into high gear until The Force Awakens leaves the theater, and RO will be the next Star Wars to be seen there. In the meantime, I am still gonna see TFA at least once more to make it an even 4!
Imagine what you will know tomorrow....

Do you guys think the movie will host an appearance of Darth Vader ?
If I am not mistaking, it should be happening during the same time frame as the video game The Force Unleashed, in which Darth Vader was very present.
I am super excited about the idea of seeing Darth Vader in a modern movie, with modern technology. It may give his power a better image than in the original trilogy. I mean come on ! He is supposed to be the most badass Sith of all time ! :)

Rogue One should also be taking place around the same time as Rebels is currently. I doubt they'd throw in any of those characters but who knows. The only OT character I've heard mention of seeing would be Han, and if it does happen it'll be the younger actor they're still trying to cast atm.

I think Rogue One will take place a little later in the timeline than where Rebels currently is. Remember, Rebels is showing the earliest formation of the Rebel Alliance, where by the time of Rogue One, they are established, and aware of the Death Star engaging in operations to steal the plans.

Of course, this would also give them a chance to bring Vader into the story which I would not mind too much, so long as (like Rebels) he is used sparingly, and to great/intimidating effect.

It would be perfect in my eyes if you see this gritty side of the rebel soldiers life. You fall in love with these characters as they steal the Death Star plans and then in the last 5 mins Darth Vader shows up and straight murders most them like cheese.

  • Fear is not real. It is the product of thoughts you create. Danger is very real, but fear is a choice.

I'm actually a bit worried about the film. It's being directed by the guy who did Godzilla (2014) which was his only major film and, although I DID enjoy the film, it didn't do very well; Godzilla had some not-so good reviews. Then there's the script writer, she only did Dr. Doolittle I believe? I feel like it'll end up on the same scale as the prequels. Disney didn't really pay attention to this film than the rest of the upcoming movies. Episode VIII is being directed by an outstanding director who has been awarded by Emmys, and Episode IX is being directed by Colin Trevov.
Light and darkness, you cannot have one without the other. To achieve equilibriem you must be in harmony with both; the path between.

They have said they are trying to set a "Saving Private Ryan" kind of tone for the film, so hopefully that kind of thing falls into his wheelhouse.
