The first live - action Star Wars film that is n’t an “ Episode ” will be a military adventure focusing on shades of grey , rather of sinister - and - snowy morality of previous Star Wars moving picture . With dead no Jedi . Here ’s everything we glean from today ’s Star Wars Celebration presentation .
Gareth Edwards , LucasFilm Chief Executive Kathleen Kennedy , and Kiri Hart ( head of the story group at LucasFilm ) all get hold of the stage for a spin - off panel at Star Wars Celebration . And while we could not be there in the strong-arm region due to last minute complications , we have a full dislocation from the board for you , thanks to the net .
First up , what is Rogue One about ? The prescribed precis ( give up by theStar Wars twitter account ) was released — confirming thelong - rumored “ heist pic ” plot : “ A band of resistance champion unite for a daring mission to slip the Death Star plan in Star Wars anthology motion picture , Rogue One . ”
Next , how will Rogue One fit into the rest of the galax far , far away ? According to Edwards the film is set after Return of the Sith and before A New Hope . So it ’s a subsequence to the prequels ( almost ) . After giving a little point , Edwards then screen a inadequate puzzler . Since Rogue One is n’t going to shoot until this summertime this is fundamentally a teaser reel of footage that ( most likely ) wo n’t be in the actual flick , but it still sounded awful . The clipping start with an Alec Guinness quote about“before the dark times”(indicating that this photographic film is set during sound out dark times ) while trash over a wooded planet . Here ’s what the great unwashed had to say about it :

Now the real talk begins . Edwards confirmed that the lead character Felicity Jones ( whose casting was only recently reveal ) will be playing a Rebel soldier . According toDisney Insider , the Jedi are basically extinct at this point , so Rogue One will be a pretty Jedi free film . The cast of characters will not have power , but will still notice a path to get Bob Hope to the galaxy . This is truly the very former stages of the Rebellion .
But the great takeout food from the Rogue One panel is how this movie will be a pretty great departure from the occasional films . Kiri Hart support this early on when she let out that all the “ Anthology Films ” ( which is how Lucasfilm is label the tailspin off movies ) will“vary in scale and vary in genre . ”And Rogue One sounds like it ’s going to be heavy regulate by past military movies . EWreported that the major movie influences are Saving Private Ryan and Black Hawk Down and Zero Darzk Thirty . Edwards insisted , “ It ’s called Star WARS . ” Plus the the displaced person of Zero Dark Thirty is buck Rogue One ( viaDevin Faraci ) .

vocalise as though Rogue One will be heavily influenced by all things military . This could work really well , since Edwards ’ Godzilla was also hard fool from the point of sentiment of a military humans , a military menage and participants in various special ops missions .
And if you need more proof of the more realistically tactical vibration Rogue One is convey , here ’s a look at the concept art .
