‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ rumoured to be ditching the iconic title crawl

While Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is completely immersed in the Star Wars world, it seems the film wants to set itself apart from its predecessors. According to Star Wars News Net, an anonymous source claims the new film will have an entirely new opening crawl. They claim it’ll open “in a way ‘different than the classic Star Wars films.’” While we don’t exactly know what that means, we don’t have to wait too long as it debuts in Canada on December 16.

‘Star Wars: Rogue One’ release official trailer

In case you’ve missed it, the newest Star Wars film coming out at the end of the year recently got its first official trailer. And it’s a great thing we get to see a lot of the new characters from this movie as well as seeing one of the greatest villains in the Star Wars universe (and perhaps the whole cinematic universe): Darth Vader. And as The Verge points out, his reveal in the trailer comes in a similar vein as when Han Solo and Chewbacca came out in the trailer for The Force Awakens. Rogue One is led by actress Felicity Jones and it takes place just before the 1977 Star Wars: A New Hope film, which is just around the time that the Death Star was being built. Director Gareth Edwards calls this film a “war movie” and you can certainly see that here. Let’s just say we’re now more excited for it.

Here’s the first look at Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

It seems to be a thing now, where even a trailer has to get a teaser. For better or worse, here’s our first quick glimpse of the upcoming Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The trailer will be debuting on Good Morning America on Thursday morning. But for now what we get is what looks like a Shadow Trooper and something burning in the background. Rogue One is starring Felicity Jones and is directed by Gareth Edwards. It will come to theaters by December 16^th.
