Rogue One: A Star Wars Story follows the Rebellion team tasked with stealing the plans to the Empire’s Death Star, leading to its destruction in the 1977 original Star Wars: A New Hope. Set to release Dec. 16, the prequel is directed by Gareth Edwards (Godzilla) and written by Chris Weitz (Cinderella).
