Rogue One

Star Wars mania is right around the corner. It’s almost December, which means its about to be Star Wars season. A new Star Wars movie arrives in theaters in December with Rogue One: A Star Wars story. The upcoming film features the exploits of a ragtag crew of Rebels conspiring to steal the plans for the Death Star to find its weakness. This week, Disney and Lucasfilm released yet another new trailer for the film, which you can check out in the player below. Action appears to be the name of the game for this trailer. It features a ton of action beats that haven’t been shown before in the way of previous trailers and promo spots. There’s another look at the fight with the giant AT-AT Walkers, where one completely eats a shot from the rocket launchers, but it simply resets and looks back at the Rebels for more…before it’s shot at again by some rescuing X-Wing fighters. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story arrives in theaters in 3D,

Walt Disney Studios and Lucasfilm dropped the latest TV spot with some new footage today for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which marks a new era for the Star Wars franchise. This is the first of a group of planned standalone, anthology movies Disney will release under the Star Wars franchise banner. You can check out the new TV spot, “Together,” in the player below. The latest video emphasizes the different heroes of Rogue One, who come together to fight against the Empire. There’s also some cool new shots of the newly completed Death Star, which makes a return for the film, along with Darth Vader. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story arrives in theaters on December 16 in 3D, RealD 3D and IMAX 3D. The upcoming feature stars Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, Riz Ahmed, with Jiang Wen and Forest Whitaker. The project was directed by Gareth Edwards, from a script by Chris Weitz and Tony Gilroy. Here’s an official synopsis:

The next theatrical Star Wars feature is right around the corner with Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The film is due out in a couple of months. As hype builds for the pending theatrical launch, Walt Disney Studios released a new series of character posters for the upcoming Rogue One: A Star Wars Story online. You can check out the poster images for all the main cast below. The posters feature as follows: Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones), Captain Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), Director Orson Krennic (Ben Mendelsohn), Chirrut Îmwe (Donnie Yen), K-2SO (Alan Tudyk), Bodhi Rook (Riz Ahmed), with Baze Malbus (Jiang Wen) and Saw Gerrera (Forest Whitaker), these posters are now available to share with your readers. The poster images all look very interesting and unique. However, it’s most exciting that one of the Rogue One crew of Rebels will be an android named K-2SO played by Alan Tudyk. He looks like he could very well be the scene stealer for the feature. Rogue One: A Star Wars

Lucasfilm and Disney surprised everyone with a full, new trailer today. You can check out the latest, full trailer for the film in the player below, which has quite a bit of revealing footage, including the legendary Darth Vader. This trailer provides more insight for the backstory of Jyn Erso, who appears to be imprisoned by the Imperial army at one point before the Rebel Alliance busts her out. It also appears that Mads Mikkelsen’s character is the father of Jyn Erso. Not only that, there’s a sense that he’s taken by the Empire in order to help them build the Death Star. Some of the aspects here make this look quite different as a Star Wars movie. However, that could be a good thing. The Star Wars Anthology type movies could be good opportunities to make different types of Star Wars stories and present them in different ways than what audiences might typically be used to for a Star Wars film. Perhaps they can use different ideas and conventions

Soon Star Wars Mania will be engulfing the general public yet again. In just a few short months, another live-action Star Wars movie will hit theaters in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The first TV spot for the film, with some new footage, has finally hit the web, and you can check out that video in the player below. There’s a look at some new explosions and battle footage in the TV spot. Forest Whittaker’s character is seen ominously stating, “If you continue to fight, what will you become?” It also features the film’s tag line, “Hope begins with rebellion.” An interesting take on the franchise. Ultimately, it’s hard to imagine the characters who are looking to steal the plans for the Death Star will be able to escape what is essentially a suicide mission unscathed. The hype and promotion for the new movie will certainly be ramping up in the coming months. It’s good to see new footage getting ramped out for the special, especially since the new

Walt Disney Studios and Lucasfilm dropped some exciting new material today at Star Wars Celebration in London, England for the upcoming film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, including a new sizzle reel video and a new teaser poster. You can check both out below. Director Gareth Edwards and producer Kathleen Kennedy started off the convention with a bang with an exclusive look at the film. Surprise guests from the film at the presentation included: Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, Riz Ahmed, Jiang Wen, Forest Whitaker, John Knoll, Executive Producer and Kiri Hart, Head of Story. With the movie just a handful of months away, it’s nice to see some new material pop up for Rogue One. It looks like, much like The Force Awakens, Gareth Edwards favored a lot of practically built sets and location shoots, which is nice. That was one of the major marks against the prequels by fans, and it appears things are going in a different direction for this
