Star Wars: Rogue One (the first Star Wars Spin-off)
The first Spin-Off movie of Star Wars we've all been hearing about will be named "Rogue One".
Felicity Jones (The Theory Of Everything as Stephen Hawking's wife) to star, directed by Gareth Edwards (Monsters and the recent Godzilla movie) and written by the recent Disney Cinderella live-action film screenwriter Chris Weitz. EDIT:... Arriving sometime in 2016... No other details known. The May 26th 2017 release date I posted is actually for Star Wars Episode 8. New thread coming in a minute. |

Kathleen Kennedy and Tony To (Band of Brothers, The Pacific) are on board to produce and John Swartz (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) will co-produce.' The film starts shooting this summer in London and is due for release on December 16, 2016. Via: IGN |

These things are going to kill Star Wars. Now I bet the new trilogy will suck.

Maslany > Jones
They blew it. |

A Star Wars movie every year seems like overkill to me. I just hope Disney adapts Drew Karpyshyn's excellent Darth Bane trilogy before the brand name is runs out of steam.

Based on the title it's probably related to Boba or Jango Fett - Boba Fett's ship in the original trilogy was "Slave One".

Since they're rebooting it and ignoring the expanded universe this probably won't happen unfortunately.

It's been officially officialised a few moments ago that Rogue One will take place before the original trilogy. |

Re: Star Wars: Rogue One (the first Star Wars Spin-off)
Wonder if Oscar Isaac will be the lead?
Dennis Lawson as General Wedge Antillies would be so epic. |
Re: Star Wars: Rogue One (the first Star Wars Spin-off)
Isaac is in the new trilogy... this is taking place before A New Hope.

The expanded universe has been binned, it's no longer canon. They aren't using any of it any more.
The new trilogy is a totally new story. |

Oh please, the Expanded Universe has existed for years already, converting that sort of stuff to movies is hardly killing it. Not to mention, they'll never be as bad as that abominable Star Wars: The Clone Wars movie.

Re: Star Wars: Rogue One (the first Star Wars Spin-off)
I didn't say he didn't have a point. I agree that the expanded universe didn't kill the franchise.
I was just pointing out his comment on them turning the expanded universe into movies was wrong as they aren't canon anymore. |
