“Rogue One” is a unique offering for movie fans as it represents the first “Star Wars” film that does not take place within the main saga.
The movie will follow Felicity Jones’s character and a band of resistance fighters who attempt to steal the plans for the first Death Star. The film’s events take place before the start of the original “Star Wars: A New Hope.”
Following the record-shattering success of J.J. Abrams’ “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” Lucasfilm is planning to roll out a series of “Star Wars” spinoff films over the next several years.
“Rogue One” is the first in the series and will be followed by an untitled Han Solo origin movie in 2018.
