Needless to say, after living such a tragic existence and bitter end, Alice’s spirit (Kristina Page) has become a bit of a party pooper, showing up to the decadent celebration to scare, kill, and ruin everyone’s good time.
Disney has released a trailer for its first standalone Star Wars feature Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The eagerly anticipated film is directed by Gareth Edwards (Godzilla) and written by Chris Weitz (Cinderella) with Oscar nominee Felicity Jones (Theory of Everything) toplining as rabble-rouser Jyn Erso.
Rogue One tells the story of the Rebellion team tasked with stealing the plans to the Empire’s Death Star battle station, leading to its destruction in the 1977 original Star Wars: A New Hope. The trailer introduces us to Jyn Erso, an orphaned outlaw eager to work her issues out by kicking stormtrooper ass.
She’s an engaging new character to watch. There’s a whole lot in this trailer to be excited about but, of course, the sight of the old stormtroopers and Imperial Walkers wreaking havoc to a familiar Star Wars score gets one’s Jedi robes in a bunch.
