Star Wars fans have been given a glimpse of British actress Felicity Jones playing a young rebel in the first of three spin-off anthology films. That way, we know there will be sequels and I can’t wait for the sixth installment, Rogue One 2: “Episode III”.

Following yesterday’s announcement teaser for the upcoming trailer, Walt Disney Pictures and Lucasfilm have released the first official teaser trailer for the upcoming Star Wars Story film Rogue One. Here are just a few major questions about how the movie will play out.
Rogue One was written by Gary Whitta and Chris Weitz, from an idea by long-time Star Wars visual effects supervisor John Knoll.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story opens in local cinemas mid-December this year.
Probably the biggest question coming out of Star Wars: The Force Awakens was the question of Reys parentage. It could vary per movie or last the length of the agreement between Netflix and Disney.
According to Wired, Jones joins a diverse cast that includes Diego Luna, Donnie Yen, Mads Mikkelsen, Ben Mendelsohn, Jiang Wen, Forest Whitaker, Rikz Ahmed and Alan Tudyk.
“Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back”, released May 21, 1980. Mon Mothma also appeared in “Return of the Jedi”, then played by Caroline Blakiston. Episode VIII, which continues to follow the adventures of new heroes Rey, Finn and Poe Dameron, is scheduled to be released December 15, 2017.
