In addition to the Star Wars Battlefront video game, it looks likely Disney and LucasFilm will be promoting the first Star Wars spinoff from director Gareth Edwards, Star Wars: Rogue One, at next month’s Star Wars Celebration.
As Star Wars: Rogue One shares “Rogue” with Paramount’s Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, it’s learned that instead of Paramount having to file lawsuits and such, Disney will simply not promote Rogue One, which hits December 2016, until after MI 5 gets released this Summer; so it’s really not that much of a big deal.
In THR’s report on the matter, it is stated that Disney LucasFilm will still be able to promote Star Wars: Rogue One at the Star Wars Celebration event that takes place in Anaheim, California April 16-19.
Maybe we’ll learn more casting news at the event and more.
Star Wars: Rogue One has a December 16, 2016 release starring Felicity Jones.
