    It's only because of The Force Awakens that we're getting next to nothing on this. And I'm fine with that - the movie needs way more exposure than the spinoff right now.

    True.

    However, I still think Rogue One is the prequel that we actually all wanted, or at least IMHO! So I can't wait to know more.

    With the secrecy surrounding both TFA and Rogue One, things have been very boring since Disney bought Star Wars.

    Rogue One is going to be great....

    Vader: Where are those transmissions you intercepted? What have you done with those plans? ... What have you done with those plans?

    That and the crawl:
    Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire.
    During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR...

    For those of you who can't see the Tweet (it's not embedding for me for some reason), the character's name is allegedly "Bodhi Rook".

    I just looked at his feed and it looks like he deleted the tweets. But here is another that might be a little more credible.

    We only have to wait one year for ROGUE ONE

    I am excited to see the old school Tie's and X-Wing's in this film.

    Will Vader make and appearance?

    To me this film is like making Shadows of the Empire in a sense. You get a prequel not far removed from the OT unlike the PT.

    Going to be great.

    I hadn't even thought about it like that, but you're right, it is kind of like Shadows of the Empire in a certain sense.

    Will Yavin base appear? It would be cool if the Rebels meet a Massassi.

    I think that the leaked set shows the Yavin IV temple.

    so we finally get Yavin IV, old school XWings and Ties...



    Question: What if Rogue One does monster and people connect with the characters and want nor? Where do they go with a sequel to those characters? I seriously think its gonna be good (as Speilberg and Lucas would say) lol

    They could always make a film about what the rebels do with the plans

    But we already know what they did with them, they deliver them to Leia before the beginning of ANH (that I expect to be the end of Rogue One)...

    Did you have something else in mind?

    that's what I am saying. If it is a hit then where do they go with that cast? Do they lock themselves in a corner or continue with there story after Jedi? If they do that then they have to follow Canon in Aftermath..... Such interesting questions.......

    I mean it is possible that Rouge One is a major hit like Iron Man was.....

    @Old Biff - Are you sure you didn't forget something in your list...
    Well, they downloaded these from Artoo via the briefing room computer, had them analyzed and presented the battle station's weakness. Theoretically Lucasfilm could entertain us with a two hour tour of the hidden base in the meantime (they got accurate interior plans if they chose to do so) but that's not what you had in mind?

    sorry humor is obvasly lost on the internet I ment Star Wars esp. 5 it was meant to be funny

    but that is a good point raised if its successfully maybe have a second film charting the further exploits of this particular group of characters because most of these character will be new to the Star Wars universe or maybe a origin story for Felicity Jones character
