The first of a new kind of Star Wars film
As the famed opening crawl of Episode IV A New Hope describes, “Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire’s ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet.” These lines from the first Star Wars adventure serve as impetus for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
A story set apart from the classic installments of the Star Wars saga, Rogue One brings a unique perspective to the galaxy far, far away. Directed by Gareth Edwards, the film tells of Rebel soldier Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) and her band of fighters who attempt to discover a secret to the Death Star’s destruction.
THE STORY
When Rebel forces learn of the Galactic Empire’s new super weapon, the Death Star, they dispatch soldier Jyn Erso and a band of unlikely heroes to find out how to destroy it.
