Usually Sunday's are reserved for my in-depth look at Disney World's hotels, but today is an exception with the final day of Star Wars Celebration. Just a little while ago during the spinoff presentation details and a teaser for "Star Wars: Rogue One" were revealed. The spinoff films were the idea of George Lucas himself and will be called the "anthology" films. The films will vary in genre and scope and feature new characters and worlds.

"Rogue One" will begin shooting this summer said one of the directors Gareth Edwards. Josh Trank the other director did not make it to the panel due to an illness. The setting will take place between Episodes III and IV. The footage of the teaser showed a flyover over the jungles of Yavin with a TIE-fighter coming into frame and the Death Star in the background. You can hear screaming and here the voice of Obi-Wan and his quote about a million voices from Episode IV. The plot of the film will be about plans of stealing the Death Star. The plot is, "A band of resistance fighters unite for a daring mission to steal the Death Star plans in Star Wars anthology film, Rogue One." There will be no Jedi in Rogue One.

The characters in the world of Rogue one are in the grey area and are neither good or bad. They are complicated and rich while film will focus on the realities of the war. Felicity Jones will play a rebel soldier in the film. Edwards said he could not turn down the film once he read the script. He also said that he kept his hiring as director of Rogue One for six months until "The Hollywood Reporter" had leaked it. The film itself will be produced in the UK and filmed around the world starting this summer. Here is the teaser that was shown during the presentation. Best quality of the teaser that I have seen so far.
