The prequel trilogy told the origin stories leading up to the original trilogy, so Rogue One falls between the two sets of movies.Ģ) Rogue One: A Star Wars Story directly sets up the events of A New Hope
#WATCH STAR WARS A ROGUE ONE MOVIE#
Essentially, the film is set just before the events of the first Star Wars movie ever released, initially known as Star Wars, and later as Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. That's going to happen next year - right now, we're getting Rogue One, which is a sequel to the prequels that were actually sequels to the original saga. Last year, we were impressed enough by the exploits of Rey and BB8 to call The Force Awakens one of our favourite movies of the year, and it would have been great to see that story develop and finally find out what is going on with Luke Skywalker. So what all do you need to know, going in to watch Rogue One this weekend?ġ) Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is not a sequel to Force Awakens
These films are developed in parallel, so that the studio can drop one big Star Wars movie each year without having to lose out on quality.Īt least, that's the idea - and as the first of these spinoffs, there's a lot of pressure on Rogue One to succeed, because if this film flops, it will cast a lot of doubt on the idea of these standalone movies. That means that one year sees a Star Wars 'Episode', and the next year sees a Star Wars 'Story'. Well, the studio decided that instead of sticking to just the 'main' Star Wars Saga, it's going to alternate the lineup with standalone spinoff movies. What the heck is a Star Wars Story anyway? There's no episode number (Force Awakens was Episode VII), and the name doesn't even start with Star Wars.
However, if you're a Star Wars fan (and who isn't, really?) then you probably noticed that there's something amiss about that title. The latest movie in the Star Wars franchise, titled Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, is releasing this weekend in India and around the world and our review will be coming in shortly.
