Rogue One: A Star Wars Story May Not Use Opening Crawl

So it has come to light that Rogue One: A Star Wars Story may not use the iconic opening crawl sequence at the beginning of the film making us think that this story may very well go it’s own way.

“The crawl and some of those elements live so specifically within the ‘saga’ films that we are having a lot of discussion about what will define the [standalone] Star Wars stories separate and apart from the saga films. So we’re right in the middle of talking about that,” Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy told Entertainment Weekly.

This is an interesting way to go as this scene at the beginning of each film goes hand in hand and the fact that they may not use it may make the film live up to it’s Rogue One title. On the other hand as the film is set between the events of Revenge Of The Sith and A New Hope it may be worth giving the viewer a brief overview on what has happened between this time as it has with all the previous films.

I think this one may split Star Wars fans down the middle so I would love to hear your opinions either in the comments section below or via my twitter account @Deadpool_1984

Darth Vader Confirmed For Rogue One (Updated)

So as usual the rumor mill for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is still in full swing as it leads up to it’s release in December this year but one concrete story coming from Entertainment Weekly and there latest cover of the magazine we now know that Darth Vader will appear in the movie.

So the rumor that has been bounding around for so long that Vader will appear and be part of the Imperial effort to keep the Death Star out of the hands of those pesky rebels. What we don’t know is who will be inside the Vader suit, but I hope that James Earl Jones will be lending his memorable voice to the character.

Update – It has now been confirmed by Disney that James Earl Jones will indeed return to voice Darth Vader for this movie.

Gareth Edwards has been shooting and now extensively re-shooting the film and it includes some old looking imperial equipment due to the story being Pre-Episode IV  timeline. We are also promised more details on what red Felicity Jones has in her ledger that she is hoping to erase by helping the Rebel Scum.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will be out on December the 16th this year but for now here’s the trailer.
