The standalone film tells the story of resistance fighters who have united to steal plans to the dreaded Death Star. Today it was confirmed the movie will include Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Jiang Wen, Forest Whitaker, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk and Riz Ahmed at Disney’s D23 Expo.
The film is produced by Kathleen Kennedy, who said: “‘Rogue One’ takes place before the events of Star Wars: A New Hope and will be a departure from the saga films but have elements that are familiar to the Star Wars universe. It goes into new territory, exploring the galactic struggle from a ground-war perspective while maintaining that essential ‘Star Wars’ feel that fans have come to know. Gareth is such an innovative director and I’m so excited to be working with him and the extraordinary ensemble cast he’s selected for ‘Rogue One.’”
“Star Wars: Rogue One” will hit theaters on December 16, 2016.
