There’s also next month’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which will dramatise the original Star Wars‘ opening crawl and detail the Rebellion’s first victory against the Galactic Empire.
At Star Wars Celebration, ILM Chief Creative Officer John Knoll revealed that his team had recreated the line skeleton of the Death Star plans from the 1977 film – though we’re yet to see any version of them in the Rogue One footage released so far.
This is the second time Rogue One‘s been featured on an Empire cover, with the previous instance being the October 2016 issue.
Still, those Death Star plans are front-and-centre on Empire‘s latest subscriber cover in intricate detail.
