Rogue One: Striking Back at the Empire

Rogue One: A Star Wars StoryDirected by Gareth EdwardsOpens December 16
All seven episodes of the Star Wars saga have been about fighting (or, in the case of the underrated prequels, accidentally surrendering to) fascism. But by the time the series was revived in last year’s Episode VII, The Force Awakens, the movie’s insistence on reprising the structure of A New Hope (or, as the strident insist, Just Star Wars) put the Empire, er, excuse me, the New Order at something of a remove.
