We’re hoping it doesn’t look too Rogue One, because we actually had Gareth Edwards as a guest rebel.
While filming his cameo as a Resistance solider for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Rogue One director Gareth Edwards expressed concern that the Battle of Crait sequence would play too similar to his film.
However, there was one sequence in particular that hit close to home for Edwards: Crait.
While Star Wars has always had great action, Rogue One was the first time the brutality of war was displayed onscreen.
