The plans allow Luke and his friends to destroy the Death Star and defeat Sith Lord Darth Vader, and these very important rebels are the focus of Star Wars‘ first spinoff film, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
While we already know that Rogue One ends with the Death Star plans making it out to the Rebel Alliance, the story of how they get there has never been told.
Underneath all the Skywalker family drama, Star Wars is ultimately about a galaxy ruled by two opposing political factions, the Empire and the Republic.
A lot of noise has been made about how Rogue One will be Star Wars‘ first true war movie, and this new banner continues that trend.
