Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has had more question marks hovering over it than one would typically expect from a Star Wars movie, being the first feature film set outside the continuity of the main series and taking on a different tone and aesthetic in order to differentiate itself.
The Star Wars release schedule is set to return to the main series next year with the still untitled Star Wars: Episode VIII, followed by another “Story” installment after that.
Although Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens revived the beloved sci-fi adventure franchise by continuing the main saga, Rogue One is the first of Disney and Lucasfilm’s spinoff films.
Now months of speculation about Rogue One are over since the film has held its world premiere tonight — and reactions from the lucky attendees are beginning to roll in.
