Disney has released the first official image for "Star Wars: Rogue One". Directed by Gareth Edwards, the film is a spinoff prequel set in the Star Wars universe and it follows a group of resistance fighters who must steal the plans to the Death Star which the rebels ultimately destroy in "A New Hope", so I guess there's not much room for a twist ending.
The image provides the first look at the cast which is led by Oscar nominee Felicity Jones ("The Theory of Everything"). She is joined by Riz Ahmed, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Forest Whitaker, Donnie Yen, Jiang Wen, Mads Mikkelsen, and Alan Tudyk. Tudyk will be playing a performance-capture character.
Another notable change is that the title went from "Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One" to a more Disney-friendly "A Star Wars Story: Rogue One". It sounds ridiculous and I hope they go back to the Anthology version.
