The upcoming Star Wars: Rogue One spinoff film is already expected to be the number one cash making machine hit this year, even though it has had a few teething problems with reshoots, etc.

This Gareth Edwards helmed ‘Star Wars Story’ will delve into the much loved space opera universe George Lucas created, and hopefully will explore new and unseen characters and places, and have new stories for us to invest in.

The buzz around the film suggests Gareth Edwards will have a hit on his hands.  His first feature film, Monsters was a tight, unique take on the monster film.  To keep production costs down, the film had a crew of five, two main actors and Gareth himself handled all the visual effects himself using consumer software.  The film didn’t make money but it was a critical success, and it acted as his calling card, which ended up with him looking after the recent Godzilla reboot.  It did make money and critics liked it too.

Star Wars: Rogue One is shrouded in secrecy.  What we do know is that Rogue One sets the action in the space between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, as resistance to the Galactic Empire begins to build momentum.

Rumours of heists, double crossing, bounty hunters persists and sounds exciting, although the film’s darker tone may have put some off, resulting in the reshoots.

Star Wars: Rogue One hits us in December.
