“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” an all-new epic adventure from Lucasfilm, the first of the Star Wars standalone films, prequels to the original Star Wars films that began in the mid 1970s.

In a time of conflict, a group of unlikely heroes band together on a mission to steal the plans to the Death Star, the Empire’s ultimate weapon of destruction. This key event in the Star Wars timeline brings together ordinary people who choose to do extraordinary things, and in doing so, become part of something greater than themselves.

The ensemble cast includes Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Alan Tudyk, Mad Mikkelsen, Forest Whitaker, James Earl Jones and Jiang Wen.

Writing for Reel Views, critic James Berardinelli describes the film as “ … one of 2016's most anticipated films and it doesn't let down the legions who have been waiting for it.”
