Judging from the plot of “Rogue”, the upcoming movie seems to be similar to “Force” in one sense: like “Force”, “Rogue” draws on the “Star Wars” of the past, movies that are beloved by fans.

Directed by Gareth Edwards (who made the 2014 blockbuster Godzilla), Rogue One is set between the events of prequel movie Revenge of The Sith and 1977’s Star Wars: A New Hope.
I’ve been waiting for a long time to say this, but Darth Vader is back, baby!
A new trailer for Star Wars spin-off Rogue One has been released, offering fans a fleeting glimpse of Darth Vader.
Felicity Jones, 32, who was Oscar-nominated for her role opposite Eddie Redmayne in The Theory Of Everything, plays rebel Jyn Erso, who has notched up a string of convictions for forgery, assault and theft.
Yes, Darth Vader does make an appearance in the clip.
The film follows a group of heroes as they embark on a mission to steal the plans to the Empire’s “ultimate weapon of destruction”, the Death Star. The report further states that Jyn was chosen likely due to the fact she is the daughter of Galen Erso (Mads Mikkelsen) who is described as a scientist working with the Death Star construction. The film co-stars Diego Luna, Donnie Yen and Ben Mendelsohn.
After an agonizing wait for diehard fans who had always been teased, the action-packed trailer finally dropped showing the highly anticipated cameo by the villainous Darth Vader. The movie, directed by Gareth Edwards, also stars Oscar victor Forest Whitaker.
