Details Released About the Background of Star Wars Movie, "Rogue One"

Posted on Monday, April 20, 2015 8:12 PM

At the Star Wars Celebration that was held last week in California, some details were released about the upcoming Star Wars movie previously titled Rogue One, which was known to be part of the Star Wars Universe, but outside of the realm of the traditional saga.

We now know that the movie will be called Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One and will take place between the events of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: A New Hope. It appears that the movies that will be part of this "extended" storyline will be titled with the "Star Wars Anthology" naming convention.

A post on StarWars.com provides the details:

Major announcements and several clues about the new Star Wars stand-alone movies were made at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim today when Lucasfilm’s Kathleen Kennedy, Kiri Hart, and Pablo Hidalgo were joined in a panel discussion by director Gareth Edwards and Industrial Light and Magic’s John Knoll.

Kathleen Kennedy revealed that the upcoming big screen adventures that explore the characters and events beyond the core Star Wars saga will be known as the Star Wars Anthology Series.

Up until now, details around the first entry in the Anthology Series, Gareth Edwards’ Rogue One, have been minimal. Edwards revealed that the film will revolve around a rogue band of resistance fighters who unite for a daring mission to steal the Death Star plans and bring new hope to the galaxy. “I couldn’t sit in a cinema and know that someone else made this film,” Edwards said in the panel.
