STAR WARS A ROGUE ONE STORY NETFLIX MOVIE
Star Wars fans can sleep safe in the knowledge that the special effects are in good hands, with Gareth Edwards, director of the recent Godzilla movie and creator of independent classic Monsters taking the helm for Rogue One. His character is the director of the Advanced Weapons Research division of the Imperial Military in the film who often locks horns with Vader.

Kennedy confirmed however that Vader would only be in the movie “a small amount”.īloodline star Ben Mendelsohn also stars as Orson Krennic, the Empire’s new officer. Director Gareth Edwards has said that the character of Vader will be a “huge presence” in the film, adding “He’s got such a gravitational pull, the second he shows up you just get sucked into Darth Vader”. Other members of the cast include Donnie Yet as spiritual warrior Chirrut Îmwe, Alan Tudyk as mean robot K-2SO, and former Ewok Warwick Davis, who will be returning to the Star Wars franchise in an as yet unspecified role. Fans may be most excited by the return of James Earl Jones, who’s bringing his voice back to the role of Darth Vader once more.

Jyn Erso’s dad, Galen (Mads Mikkelsen), is a brilliant inventor who has been forced to work for the Empire. Rogue One tells the story of Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones), who is tasked by the Rebel Alliance to steal the plans for the Death Star along with a group of spies that includes Clone War veteran Saw Gerrera (Forest Whitaker), pilot Bodhi Rook (Riz Ahmed) and Captain Cassian Andor (Diego Luna). Producer Kathleen Kennedy also made it clear that Rogue One is meant to be kept separate from the main canon, saying “There is no attempt being made to carry characters (from the stand-alone films) in and out of the saga episodes.” What is Rogue One about?
