We're about four weeks away from Star Wars: Rogue One which sees the Rebels' mission to steal the Death Star plans come to fruition on the big screen.
It's also said social buzz for Rogue One is larger than Suicide Squad and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them — another good sign.
Star Wars: Rogue One has nowhere near the publicity of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and probably won't even get close to the box office draw, but Rogue One does have something that Episode VII didn't: Darth Vader.
"Star Wars: Rogue One" has a December 16, 2016 release directed by Gareth Edwards and stars Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, Riz Ahmed, with Jiang Wen and Forest Whitaker. Kathleen Kennedy, Allison Shearmur and Simon Emanuel are producing, with John Knoll and Jason McGatlin serving as executive producers.
Synopsis:
From Lucasfilm comes the first of the Star Wars standalone films, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, an all-new epic adventure. 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.
