Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (or simply Rogue One) is a 2016 American epic space opera film directed by Gareth Edwards and written by Chris Weitz and Tony Gilroy, from a story by John Knoll and Gary Whitta. It is the first stand-alone film in the Star Wars Anthology series. Rogue One stars Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, Riz Ahmed, Jiang Wen and Forest Whitaker. The story follows Jyn Erso, the daughter of the unwilling designer of the Galactic Empire's superweapon, the Death Star, and her quest to retrieve his plans for destroying it.

Produced by Lucasfilm and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, the film is chronologically set after the events of Revenge of the Sith and immediately before the events of A New Hope. Principal photography began at Elstree Studios near London during early August 2015 and wrapped in February 2016, with reshoots and additional filming taking place in mid-June 2016. Rogue One premiered in Los Angeles on December 10, 2016, and was released to the rest of the United States on December 16, 2016.

The film received generally positive reviews, with the performances, action sequences, the darker tone and visual effects being praised, and has grossed $555 million worldwide.[3]

Plot

Research scientist Galen Erso is in hiding on the planet Lah'mu when Imperial weapons developer Orson Krennic arrives and enlists him to complete the unfinished Death Star, a space station-based superweapon capable of destroying an entire planet. His wife Lyra is killed in the ensuing confrontation, but their daughter Jyn escapes and is taken to safety by Rebel extremist Saw Gerrera.

Fifteen years later, pilot Bodhi Rook defects from the Empire, smuggling a holographic message from Galen to Gerrera on the desert moon of Jedha. After learning about Rook's defection, Rebel intelligence officer Cassian Andor frees Jyn from Imperial captivity before bringing her to the Rebels, who plan to use her to extract Galen and learn more about the Death Star. Unbeknownst to Jyn, however, Cassian is covertly ordered to kill Galen rather than extract him.

Jyn, Andor, and reprogrammed Imperial droid K-2SO travel to Jedha, where the Empire is mining kyber crystals to power the Death Star while Gerrera and his partisans are engaged in an armed insurgency against them. With the aid of blind spiritual warrior Chirrut Îmwe and mercenary Baze Malbus, Jyn makes contact with Gerrera, who has been holding Rook captive. Gerrera proceeds to show her the message, in which Galen reveals he has secretly compromised the Death Star's design so it can be destroyed before directing them to the schematics, which are located at a high-security Imperial data bank on the tropical planet Scarif.

On the Death Star, Krennic orders a low-powered shot from the superlaser to destroy Jedha's capital, causing Jyn and her group to flee the planet while Gerrera elects to remain behind to die. Grand Moff Tarkin congratulates Krennic before using Rook's defection and subsequent security leak as a pretext to take control of the project.

The Rebels track Galen to an Imperial research facility on the planet Eadu, where Cassian chooses not to kill Galen. Confronted by Krennic, Galen confesses to being responsible for the security leak, only to watch as Krennic executes his colleagues. Jyn then makes her presence known as Rebel bombers arrive at the facility, resulting in Galen being mortally wounded. Jyn reunites with her father and watches him to die in her arms before escaping with her group onboard a stolen Imperial cargo shuttle. Krennic later meets with Darth Vader to seek both his and the Emperor's support, but Vader dismisses his appeals.

Jyn proposes a plan to steal the Death Star schematics using the Rebel fleet but fails to get approval from the Alliance Cabinet. Frustrated at their inaction, Jyn's group and several other Rebels decide to raid the data bank themselves. Upon arriving at Scarif, a disguised Jyn and Cassian enter the base with K-2SO while the others attack the resident Imperial garrison. Meanwhile, the Rebels learn about the raid after intercepting several Imperial communications and deploy the fleet. Rook is killed by a grenade after informing the Rebels of Jyn's plan while K-2SO sacrifices himself, allowing Jyn and Cassian to retrieve the schematics.

As Îmwe, Malbus and most of the ground troops are killed, the Rebel fleet deactivates the shield surrounding the planet. Krennic, who had traveled to Scarif in order to see Galen's research, confronts Jyn and declares the Empire's victory only to be shot by Cassian. Jyn then transmits the schematics to the Rebel command ship, unaware that the Death Star has entered the planet's orbit. Tarkin uses the superlaser to destroy the base, instantly killing Krennic while Jyn and Cassian embrace before dying in the ensuing shock wave.

The Rebel fleet prepares to jump to hyperspace only to be attacked by Darth Vader's flagship. Vader boards the Rebel command ship and pursues the schematics only to watch as a small starship escapes with them. Aboard the fleeing ship, Princess Leia declares that the schematics will provide hope for the Rebellion.

Production

Development

Rogue One is planned to be the first[39] in what is known as the Star Wars Anthology series, with other films in the series expected to focus on Han Solo and Boba Fett.[40] Kathleen Kennedy explained that the stand-alone films will not cross over with the films of the sequel trilogy, stating:

George [Lucas] was so clear as to how that works. The canon that he created was the Star Wars saga. Right now, Episode VII falls within that canon. The spin-off movies, or we may come up with some other way to call those films, they exist within that vast universe that he created. There is no attempt being made to carry characters (from the stand-alone films) in and out of the saga episodes. Consequently, from the creative standpoint, it's a roadmap that George made pretty clear.[41]

John Knoll, visual effects supervisor for the prequel trilogy, pitched the idea for the film 10 years before its development; after the Disney acquisition he felt as if he had to pitch it again or forever wonder "what might've happened if I had."[42][43] In May 2014, it was announced that Gareth Edwards would direct the film, with Gary Whitta writing the script.[44] That October, cinematographer Greig Fraser revealed that he would be working on the film.[45] In January 2015, it was revealed that Whitta had completed his work on the script, and would no longer be with the project.[46] Simon Kinberg was considered as a replacement.[47] Later in the month, it was announced that Chris Weitz had signed to write the script for the film.[48] In March 2015, the title was revealed to be Rogue One.[49]

In July 2016, discussing if the film would feature an opening crawl, Kennedy said, "we're in the midst of talking about it, but I don't think these [Anthology] films will have an opening crawl." Edwards added, "The idea is this film is supposed to be different than the saga films... [however,] this film is born out of a crawl. The thing that inspired this movie was a crawl and what was written in that. There's this feeling that if we did a crawl, then it'll create another movie. And so the honest answer is you'll have to wait and see."[50] That same month, at the 2016 Star Wars Celebration, when asked about the title's meaning, director Gareth Edwards gave three different meanings: "a military sign", referring to the Red Squadron from A New Hope; "the 'rogue' one" of the franchise, given that it is the first film to not be part of the main saga; and a description of Jyn Erso's personality.[51] In November 2016, Kennedy confirmed that the film would not feature an opening crawl, instead beginning in "a way that is traditional, with just the title."[52]

Edwards stated that the style of the film would be similar to that of a war film, stating, "It's the reality of war. Good guys are bad. Bad guys are good. It's complicated, layered; a very rich scenario in which to set a movie."[53][54]

Casting

In January 2015, The Hollywood Reporter stated that numerous actresses, including Tatiana Maslany, Rooney Mara, and Felicity Jones were being tested for the film's lead.[55] In February 2015, it was announced that Jones was in final talks to star in the film, while Aaron Paul and Édgar Ramírez were being eyed for the male lead role.[56] In March 2015, Jones was officially cast.[49] In March 2015, Deadline.com reported a rumor that Ben Mendelsohn was being considered for a lead role.[57] The next month, TheWrap reported that Sam Claflin was being eyed for a role, while Riz Ahmed was in negotiations to join the film.[58] In May, Mendelsohn, Ahmed, and Diego Luna were added to the cast of the film, in the lead roles.[59] Forest Whitaker was added to the cast in June 2015.[60] In July 2015, Jonathan Aris was cast to play Senator Jebel,[61] and in February 2016, model Eunice Olumide revealed she had a part in the film.[62] Genevieve O'Reilly was cast as Mon Mothma, reprising her role from Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith.[20] James Earl Jones was confirmed to return as the voice of Darth Vader in June 2016.[63]

Filming

Laamu Atoll in the Maldives, used as a filming location for the planet Scarif

Principal photography on the film began at Elstree Studios, in Hertfordshire, on August 8, 2015.[64][65][66] Much of the other photography was completed at or near Pinewood Studios[67] at Buckinghamshire, England where huge sets were built to complement scenes filmed elsewhere in the world.[68] The film was shot using Ultra Panavision 70 lenses with Arri Alexa 65 large format digital 6K[69] cameras.[70]

Filming locations were used around the world. In Iceland, the crew shot in Reynisfjara, and around the mountains of Hjörleifshöfði and Hafursey at Mýrdalssandur, which were used to represent Lah'mu and Eadu.[71][72][73][74] Also used were the Krafla area with its volcanic crater[75] and around Lake Mývatn's rock formations.[76] The islands of Gan and Berasdhoo of the Laamu Atoll in the Maldives, as well as RAF Bovingdon, were used to represent Scarif.[77][78][79] Wadi Rum in Jordan was used to represent Jedha.[80][81][82] Pymmes Park in Edmonton, London was also used for location filming,[83] and scenes set on Yavin 4 were filmed at RAF Cardington.[72][79] Gareth Edwards selected Canary Wharf tube station[84] as a location for a chase scene in an Imperial base; the location shoot took place between midnight and 4 am, when the station was closed to the public.[85]

Post-production

On February 11, 2016, Disney executives stated that the film was "virtually completed".[86] Several weeks of pre-scheduled reshoots began in mid-June 2016.[87] In August 2016, The Hollywood Reporter wrote that Tony Gilroy had spearheaded the reshoots, in lieu of Edwards, and that Gilroy would have just as much say in the final cut of the film as Edwards. Gilroy was initially brought on in order to retool the ending of the film, which was not coming together as hoped, under Edwards' direction. Previously, during the development of Edwards' 2014 Godzilla reboot, Gilroy was commissioned to do extensive re-writes on the script. He was also present on set during filming of crucial scenes.[88]

Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) produced the film's visual effects. ILM used CGI and digitally altered archive footage[89] to insert Peter Cushing's likeness over the body of actor Guy Henry. Lucasfilm secured permission from the late actor's estate to include him in the film.[90] The team reportedly searched through countless hours of Cushing footage in order to find suitable material to build from, then Henry provided the motion capture and voice work with the reference material augmented and mapped over his performance like a digital body mask. Cushing's family were heavily involved with the creation and had input right down to "small, subtle adjustments".[91][92][93] The same process was used in the portayal of Princess Leia; Carrie Fisher's physical appearance was superimposed over Norwegian actress Ingvild Deila's face and archival audio of Fisher saying "Hope" was used to voice the character.[94][26][27]

Post-production wrapped on November 28, 2016.[95]

Music

It does borrow from traditions that both John Williams and George Lucas borrowed from when they made the original Star Wars, you know. George was looking at Flash Gordon, the old serials, and John was looking at Gustav Holst and different composers along the way to get a baseline for what he wanted to communicate. There is a wonderful musical language that John put together for the original films. I wanted to honor that vernacular but still do something new with it, something that was still me in a way.

—Michael Giacchino on balancing the musical traditions of Star Wars with his original music for Rogue One.[96]

In March 2015, it was reported that Alexandre Desplat, who had worked with Edwards on the Godzilla reboot, would compose the score for Rogue One.[97] Despite rumors that a contract had not been initially set in place by Lucasfilm, Desplat confirmed in an April 2016 interview that he would serve as composer for the film.[98] Concerning the film, Desplat commented that "[Edwards and I] had a great partnership on Godzilla, and I can't wait to be starting with him. It will be in a few weeks from now, and it is very exciting and frightening at the same time because it's such a legendary project. To be called to come after John Williams... it's a great challenge for me."[98] However, in September 2016, it was announced that Michael Giacchino would be replacing Desplat as composer, after the film's reshoots altered the post-production schedule, and reportedly left Desplat no longer available.[99]

Giacchino only had four and a half weeks to compose the music for the film, beginning almost immediately after finishing production on Doctor Strange. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly in November 2016, Giacchino stated: "It is a film that is in many ways a really great World War II movie, and I loved that about it. But it also has this huge, huge heart at the center of it, and that was the one thing I just didn't want to discount. Yes, it's an action movie, and it's a Star Wars film, and it has all the things that you would come to expect and love about that, but I didn't want to forget that it was also an incredibly emotional movie as well. That was what really pulled me in."[96]

Giacchino incorporated John Williams' themes from previous films into the score.[96] The official soundtrack was released by Walt Disney Records on December 16, 2016.[100]

Release

Rogue One premiered at the Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles on December 10, 2016. The movie was released in certain European countries on December 14, 2016, and was released in North America on December 16.

Marketing

Promotion of Rogue One was initially delayed due to the release of the film Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation in July 2015, due to the similarities between the titles of Rogue One and Rogue Nation. Paramount Pictures registered and cleared the title with the Motion Picture Association of America in January 2015, well before Disney announced the title of its forthcoming Star Wars spinoff. Disney and Lucasfilm had to reach an agreement with Paramount over promotion in order to avoid any confusion in the public mind. Disney agreed to embargo promotion on Rogue One until after mid-2015, with the exception of a very short teaser which was screened at Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim that year.[102]

A teaser trailer for Rogue One, released by Lucasfilm on April 7, 2016, was praised by reviewers for its portrayal of strong female characters. The Daily Telegraph described Jyn Erso's character as "a roguish, Han Solo-style heroine", calling the film "progressive", while noting its painstaking faithfulness to the production design style of the original Star Wars trilogy.[103] The Hollywood Reporter also noted the visual nods to the original trilogy, and examined the film's possible narrative direction, considering that the outcome is to some extent already revealed in the opening crawl of A New Hope.[104] The Atlantic writer David Sims stated that the trailer brought "back some memorable pieces of architecture, from the lumbering AT-AT walkers to the Death Star itself, not to mention the glorious 70s costuming of Star Wars." He added that the trailer has "the look", blending the old with the new.[105] The trailer was viewed close to 30 million times in its first 29 hours, at a rate of 800,000 views per hour, from Facebook and YouTube, which is 200,000 views shy of what the first teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens was receiving in November 2014.[106]

In June 2016, Rogue One was promoted at the Star Wars Celebration Europe III event in London. During the event, a new official poster was unveiled, which depicts a battle taking place on the tropical planet Scarif, with the Death Star looming large in a blue sky, above which is printed the tagline "A Rebellion Built on Hope". A second teaser trailer was also unveiled, screened exclusively for the Celebration audience, and not streamed online. This new trailer was reviewed favorably by critics; The Daily Telegraph noted that the trailer revealed new locations such as the planets Jedha and Scarif, and that its most significant revelation came in the final seconds of the teaser, with the appearance of Darth Vader, reflected in a computer screen and accompanied by his classic breathing sound effect.[85] Variety also hailed the Vader reveal, and noted that the emphasis of the production was much more on the kinetic depiction of large battle sequences and full-on warfare, comparing it to Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 Vietnam War epic Apocalypse Now. A showreel was also shown during the event, which featured footage from the film, cut with behind-the-scenes shots and interviews with the director and cast members.[107] The second trailer was shown publicly during a broadcast of the 2016 Summer Olympics and received favourable media reviews; Wired stated that the trailer was "littered with nostalgic throwbacks to the original trilogy", while Rolling Stone described the CGI landscape shots seen in the footage as "eye-poppingly gorgeous".[108][109]

A further trailer released in October 2016 prompted the Hollywood Reporter to comment that the newly revealed footage looked like "a trailer to a different movie than the one advertised earlier", remarking that Jyn Erso appeared to be portrayed as a more vulnerable character, and highlighting the appearance of Galen Erso as a protective father figure.[110] Vanity Fair also commented on the emphasis given to Jyn's relationship with her father, suggesting that Rogue One was drawing on "the Star Wars franchise's greatest natural resource: daddy issues".[111]

The film's publicity tour began in Mexico on November 23, 2016.[112]

A downloadable expansion pack will be released for the video game Star Wars Battlefront, titled Rogue One: Scarif, that will allow players the ability to play through the various locations, characters and set pieces of Rogue One.[113] A virtual reality mission is also set for release.[114]

Tie-in novels

A tie-in novel to the film, Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel, was released on November 15, 2016.[115] Written by veteran Star Wars novelist James Luceno, the story is set some years before the events of Rogue One, and provides a backstory to the 2016 film.[116] The film's novelization was written by Alexander Freed, and was released on December 16, 2016.[117]

Reception

Box office

As of December 26, 2016, Rogue One has grossed $318.1 million in the United States and Canada and $237.4 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $555.5 million, against a production budget of $200 million.[3]

In late November 2016, box office projections for the United States and Canada had the film grossing $100–150 million in its opening weekend.[118][119] Disney chairman Bob Iger noted that Disney and Lucasfilm did not expect Rogue One to match The Force Awakens' total gross of $2.1 billion, nor its $248 million opening.[120] Pre-sale tickets for the film went on sale at 12:01 am EST on November 28, 2016, and within 10 minutes crashed ticket sale sites such as Fandango, much like The Force Awakens had the year prior.[121] In its first twenty four hours, the film had the second-highest ever amount of pre-sale tickets sold, behind only The Force Awakens.[122] Worldwide, the film was expected to gross $280–350 million in its opening weekend.[123]

In the United States, the film made $29 million from its Thursday night previews, off 51% from The Force Awakens' $57 million, but was the highest Thursday gross of 2016, and $71.1 million on Friday, the 12th highest grossing opening day of all-time. The film grossed $46.3 million on Saturday (a 35% drop from Friday) and $155.1 million in its opening weekend, the third biggest debut of 2016.[123]

Critical response

Rogue One received generally positive reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 85% based on 312 reviews with an average rating of 7.5/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Rogue One draws deep on Star Wars mythology while breaking new narrative and aesthetic ground -- and suggesting a bright blockbuster future for the franchise."[124] On Metacritic, the film has a score 65 out of 100 based on 51 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[125] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale.[126]

IGN reviewer Eric Goldman gave the film 9/10, saying, "Rogue One is a movie crammed with fan service, but when fan service is done this well, there's little to complain about and much to adore."[127] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the film 3.5 out of 4 stars, writing, "this spin-off/prequel has the same primitive, lived-in, emotional, loopy, let's-put-on-a-show spirit that made us fall in love with the original trilogy."[128] /Film gave Rogue One 8/10, writing that the film is enjoyable but does not have the emotional weight of The Force Awakens, because "no character in Rogue One was strongly compelling".[129] PopMatters wrote, "Rogue One seems to enjoy spending time on a whole new batch of moons and planets we haven't seen before, reveling in the clutter and clamor of far-flung settlements where anti-Imperial sentiments fester. But the film is bogged down in engineering the complex maneuverings of spy games, dogfights, and the most sprawling Rebel-versus-Empire land battle scene since the opening of The Empire Strikes Back."[130] Justin Chang, writing for the Los Angeles Times, called Rogue One "a swiftly paced, rough-and-ready entertainment."[131]

The New York Times wrote, "All the pieces are there, in other words, like Lego figures in a box. The problem is that the filmmakers haven't really bothered to think of anything very interesting to do with them. A couple of 9-year-olds on a screen-free rainy afternoon would come up with better adventures, and probably also better dialogue."[132] Richard Brody of The New Yorker called the film "lobotomized and "depersonalized", and wrote it "isn't so much a movie as a feature-length promotional film for itself; it's a movie that is still waiting to be made."[133] The Washington Post wrote "Rogue One represents an unobjectionable exercise in franchise extension. It's fine. It'll do. For now."[134]

IndieWire's David Ehrlich gave the film a C+ rating, calling it "a spirited but agonizingly safe attempt to expand cinema's most holy blockbuster franchise and keep the wheels greased between proper installments […] just a glorified excuse to retcon some sense into one of the silliest things about the original." While he praised the set design and visuals, calling them "gorgeous", he criticized a lack of interesting character development and a script that felt "completely constricted by its purpose."[135]

Peter Bradshaw, film critic of The Guardian says "Rogue One doesn't really go rogue at any stage, and it isn't a pop culture event like The Force Awakens, in whose slipstream this appears; part of its charm resides in the eerie, almost dreamlike effect of continually producing familiar elements, reshuffled and reconfigured, a reaching back to the past and hinting at a preordained future. There are some truly spectacular cameos from much-loved personae, involving next-level digital effects — almost creepily exact, so that watching feels at various stages like going into a time machine, back to the 80s and 70s".[136]

Views on computer-generated imagery

While much of the computer-generated imagery (CGI) received plaudits, some news organizations published criticism about certain aspects, including the visual effects (VFX) that were used to revive Peter Cushing, who died in 1994, as Grand Moff Tarkin.[137] The Guardian's Catherine Shoard, described the "resurrection" as a "digital indignity".[138] Michael Cavna of The Washington Post described the facial effect as feeling "distractingly artificial and nearly alien, like a plastered death mask robbed of authentic actorly effect, well beyond the usual artifice of Botox."[139] Joseph Walsh of The Guardian raised legal and ethical issues about bringing a long-dead actor to life.[140] However, Lucasfilm had obtained permission from Peter Cushing's estate before deciding to use his likeness.[141] The Washington Times's Eric Althoff, rejected the entire concept of using CGI to recreate a deceased actor: "Alas, what we get is, basically, not a simulation, but an approximation of a simulation — a dead character portrayed by a living actor inhabiting not the character, but imitating the dead actor."[142]

Some journalists also criticized the quality of the CGI that was to represent a younger Carrie Fisher in order to portray Princess Leia at an earlier time as well as its suitability in movie-making.[26][27] Eliana Dockterman of Time wrote that "there was something particularly plastic about this version of the young Carrie Fisher–so smooth and so perfect it couldn't be real – that pulled me out of the moment."[143] Kelly Lawler of USA Today said: "... while Tarkin is merely unnerving, the Leia cameo is so jarring as to take the audience completely out of the film at its most emotional moment. Leia's appearance was meant to help the film end on a hopeful note (quite literally, as 'hope' is her line), but instead it ends on a weird and unsettling one."[144]
