What is Star Wars Rogue One?
Star Wars Rogue One is a 2016 American space opera film produced by Lucasfilm and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. It is the seventh installment in the main Star Wars saga and the first standalone film in the franchise. Directed by Gareth Edwards, the movie is set in the Star Wars universe and follows a group of rebels who embark on a mission to steal the plans for the Death Star, a massive space station capable of destroying entire planets. The film is known for its stand-alone narrative, which does not rely on the previous six films in the series, but is instead set in the same universe. Rogue One is a prequel to the original Star Wars film, Episode IV: A New Hope, and provides insight into the events leading up to the iconic battle of Yavin. The film received critical acclaim for its action sequences, visuals, and the character development of its ensemble cast, including Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, and Forest Whitaker.
