RELATED: Star Wars' Andor Series Reportedly Already Renewed for Season 2īut Rogue One: A Star Wars Story revealed that many Rebels aren't the perfect do-gooders they're made out to be. But sometimes, this can make the Empire much more interesting, as the characters tend to be more complex with power struggles and sometimes actually question their actions. When it comes to the Rebels, the vast majority are heroic people with good morals, which of course, most need to be if they're to take part in the war. Star Wars is known for giving almost every character on screen a name and backstory, no matter how insignificant they are. However, most Rebels were one-dimensional heroes, and it wasn't until the release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story that the Rebellion was finally shown in a more interesting light. What makes the war so compelling is how small the Rebellion is in comparison, yet they still win against the odds. Be sure to stay tuned for more updates on Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, arriving in theaters December 16.In the Star Wars Original Trilogy, the Rebellion battle against the Empire is clearly a good versus evil situation. Hopefully we'll learn much more about these mysterious characters before the trailer debuts Thursday night. If it's a really ancient religion, as Obi-Wan Kenobi said, it's got to exist in thousands or millions of people in the galaxy."ĮW also teases that a new report arriving tomorrow will reveal exactly why Bodhi Rook still wears the Imperial insignia on his shoulder. In a wider level, there must be loads of people who just believe in the Jedi and believe in the Force and have been affected by it. "Within Jedha, even though there's the oppressive foot of the Empire hanging over them, there's a resistance that won't give up and our characters have to go and meet people there to try and secure a person from this group. Gareth Edwards reveals that this group of rebels comes to Jedha looking for another mysterious person who could help them. The director also revealed that this planet is the home world of key characters such as Chirrut Imwe ( Donnie Yen), Baze Malbuz ( Jiang Wen) and Bodhi Rook ( Riz Ahmed), a character who used to be an Imperial pilot but now fights for the Resistance. While Gareth Edwards wouldn't specify what lies in Jedha that both the Jedi and the Empire would want, EW speculates that there could be a source of kyber crystals on the planet, the minerals that power the Jedi's lightsabers and were also believed to be used in the creation of the Death Star. It felt very much like something we could relate to in the real world." There's something very important in Jedha that serves both the Jedi and the Empire. It was essentially taken over by the Empire. "It's a place where people who believe in the Force would go on a pilgrimage. Here's what Gareth Edwards had to say about how important Jedha is to the Jedi Order. Before this Rogue One story begins, Jedha is a spiritual place very important to the Jedi order, until the Empire takes control of this holy place. Jedha's look was influenced by Middle Eastern locations, with "Ottoman-inspired architecture" similar to places like Mecca, Jerusalem, Canterbury or Bodh Gaya. It got embodied in this place we called Jedha." We were trying to find a physical location we could go to that would speak to the themes of losing your faith and the choice between letting the Empire win, or evil win, and good prevailing. " The Force is basically in Star Wars like a religion, and they're losing their faith in the period that we start the movie. Here's what the filmmaker had to say below. Entertainment Weekly caught up with director Gareth Edwards, who reveals that, during A New Hope, the Jedi "religion" was dying, which is explored even further in Rogue One. We've known for quite some time that Rogue One will be set between the events of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith and the 1977 classic that started it all, Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. The filmmaker reveals that there will be a Jedi holy land revealed in this movie, a new planet known as Jedha. We reported over the weekend that the new trailer will debut Thursday night during Olympic coverage on NBC, but while we wait for this footage, we have new story details from director Gareth Edwards. The biggest Christmas gift for most Star Wars fans this year will be the release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the first Star Wars spinoff that is set to hit theaters December 16.
