For some scenes, including many on Jedah, Gareth Edwards employed a more experimental approach than we’ve seen from Star Wars in the past.
Because Jedah represents something very new for the Star Wars mythos, Gareth Edwards felt it important to find the proper balance between classic Star Wars storytelling and a more free-flowing style.
Directed by Gareth Edwards and starring Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Jiang Wen, Forest Whitaker, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk and Riz Ahmed, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is set for release on December 16, 2016.
“It’s like if ‘A New Hope’ is the story of Jesus, there must be a whole religion beyond that,” Gareth Edwards continues.
