 Felicity Jones | Well, no one actually died - but a sizzle reel and some plot tidbits were released during panels at the Star Wars celebration in Anaheim, CA over the weekend. Director Gareth Edwards is the man-in-charge of the first stand-alone Star Wars Anthology film Rogue One, starring Felicity Jones, which is slated for release in December 2016. |
"A rogue band of resistance fighters unite for a daring mission to steal the Death Star plans."
The film will be set after Episode III and before Episode IV, and "won't have clear-cut villains and heroes. It's also very much a war film," Edwards said. "It's called Star WARS," he joked, getting a laugh from the crowd.
“It’s about the fact that god’s not coming to save us, and we’re on our own,” said Edwards. “The absence of the Jedi is omnipresent in the film. It hangs over the whole movie.”
Filming stars this summer.
