Epcot’s Spaceship Earth to become Death Star

“Rogue One” will also be the setting of the fourth and final expansion pack for Electronic Arts’ now year-old online multiplayer shooter, “Star Wars Battlefront”, which has sold over 14 million copies since November 2015.

In a recent interview, Riz Ahmed spoke about his unbelievable experience of working on a film of Rogue One’s size for the very first time.

“Rogue One” is scheduled to premiere on December 16.

It’s been more than a little unusual for Star Wars enthusiasts that the franchise’s creator hasn’t been involved in the newest addition to a galaxy far, far away, Rogue One. In the footage we saw plenty of scenes showing how the Empire is trying to take control of the universe and the brutality that happens when you try and resist. Pacific time November 27, and fans hoping to score seats online to the first film in the Star Wars Anthology series were faced with extended wait times as vendors grappled with increased demand. We’ve seen what the Death Star is capable of.

But, movie and Disney fans can watch the event on the Disney Park Blog. We meet Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), an intelligence officer for the Rebel Alliance who, we learn quickly, can be ruthless if he or the Rebellion is in jeopardy. But as the man in charge of the Death Star’s success, can Krennic deliver?

Holy crap. This is a major first for the franchise, and I couldn’t be more excited for December 16th.

“In the “70s and ’80s, there was more black and white (in ‘Star Wars” films)”, said Mads Mikkelsen, who plays Galen Erso, the enigmatic, brilliant scientist both sides covet.

With more people losing faith in their institutions – see this past election season, the decline of religion, etc. – Star Wars may be the next to fall. During Jyn’s rescue, a defiant Jyn is thrown to the ground by K-2SO and he says, “Congratulations, you’ve been rescued”.

“I don’t think there will be anything like a Star Wars film when it comes to scale”, he said.

Gareth Edwards introduced the footage room in the infamous screening room at Skywalker Sound and lamented the fact that he couldn’t show us the whole movie.

“George”, of course, is George Lucas, the man, the myth, the big boss, the guy who started the worldwide phenomenon known as “Star Wars” four decades ago.

Anyway, there are a couple of minor surprises I won’t spoil.
