As of now, everyone should mark their calendars for December 16th. This date marks the release of the newest addition to the Star Wars series, Rouge One: A Star Wars Story. The movie was directed under Gareth Edwards, the man behind Godzilla in 2014.
The movie will go back in time to show the group of people who stole the plans for the Empire’s Death Star, a very key action in the series that led to the rebellion’s attack.
Although the hype has not blown up as big as The Force Awakens, fans are still very excited for the prequel to release. There are other causes for excitement such as the strong possibility that Darth Vader might return, as well as other classic villains. John Williams will also once again be returning to compose music for the movie.

The story will likely have no impact on any movies that act as a sequel to The Force Awakens, Rouge One is just a story that gives fans a chance to look into the untold tale of how the plans for the Death Star were stolen in the first place. This also means there may be a lack of classic characters such as Luke Skywalker or Han Solo.

The main character follows the latest movie in being female, this certain protagonist is named Jyn Erso. In the movie she is accompanied by Captain Cassian Ardo, Gaien Erso, Chirrut Imwe, and Saw Gerrera. Little else will be known about the movie until its release date, but it promises to be of high quality.
The run time of the movie is approximately 133 minutes, 2 hours and 13 minutes. On rottentomatoes.com, there is a 99% rate of people wanting to see the movie, proving that Star Wars has sparked to life once again in the recent years.
