Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, starring Felicity Jones, Diego Luna and Forrest Whitaker among others, will be released 16 December.
Rogue One – the first of three planned Star Wars prequels – will be an exception to that rule; Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy has assured that, however successful the film will be, the prequel will not be getting a follow-up.
Rogue One follows a wayward band of Rebel fighters brought together for one improbable mission: steal the plans for the Death Star.
In this day and age of cinema, it’s almost standard practice to assume that any successful film will be granted a sequel.
