![]() Telling the story of how the Rebel Alliance managed to retrieve the Death Star plans to destroy it, “Rogue One” can be seen as a direct prequel to the original 1977 Star Wars film. Whatever.īased on an early idea by John Knoll, visual effects supervisor for the prequel trilogy, “Rogue One” marks the first stand-alone film in the Star Wars Anthology series which is chronologically set after the events of “Revenge of the Sith” and immediately ending before the events taking place in “A New Hope”. A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, French composer Alexandre Desplat scored a Star Wars spin-off…wait, what? Do you know this is wrong? It is Michael Giacchino we are talking about, right?

Never mind, here we go.īack in 2012, when the Walt Disney Company bought Lucasfilm, it immediately became clear that they did not only want to continue the regular series with a truckload of new episodes, but that the Disney executives also wanted to release a handful of Star Wars spin-offs focusing on only loosely-connected side stories to the original main saga in a serious attempt to make even more profit.
