Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

Even though this is not "Horror" related, it is something that is on point.

On Wednesday April 8th, 2016 just a day after the Blu-ray/DVD release of Star Wars: A Force Awakens, Disney and Lucasfilms released the Theatrical Trailer for "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" and it looks great. As of 4/8/16 it has over a million views. just 24 hours of being released.

The time frame of this film goes in between Episode III Revenge of the Sith to Episode IV A New Hope, more closer to the New Hope because the Death Star has been built but had been called out in NH as not yet operational and that spies had recover plans. the timeline is tight. There has been discussion that at the end of the Rogue One trailer when we see that Jyn is wearing an Empire uniform, that she could be a double agent. I think that she has volunteered to work at the Death Star to gain secrets for the Rebel Alliance.  

It is my belief that Disney and JJ Abrams has set the Star Wars bar to a level that every fan of all ages will enjoy. There are many things about this movie that I enjoy and are looking forward to seeing more of. I was lucky enough to be able to see all Star Wars movies when they were originally released.

Edited: 6/1/2016.
It looks as though Disney has taken a few cues from other films as of late by sending back crews and actors to do some re-shoots for the movie. It is reported that they are looking at re-shooting 40% of the movie. It is rumored that they are adding some scenes with a young Han Solo. Just a reminder, the movie leads to ten minutes before the Original 1977 space saga Star Wars Episode IV, A New Hope.

May 17th Update: As the music suggests, Darth Vader may make a physical appearance. Just when we thought we had seen the last of our beloved Villain (Hero), it looks as though Disney has seen the light down the money tunnel and is still one of the hottest selling action figures of the Star Wars Universe. The movie is still gaining with momentum with little secrets like this. Here is a unofficial leaked art picture with Darth Vader prominently placed in the center of good and evil. 

 
More news as I can find it will be posted here.
