“I would say Darth Vader,” Diego reveals in the IMDB video. “He left a mark on me when I was young that I still have there. When I saw him on set for the first time here, I became a six-year-old. Like, paralyzed. I was just looking at him like [gasp].”

Watch the video below to find out what his co-stars Alan Tudyk, Ben Mendelsohn, Riz Ahmed, Mads Mikkelsen, and director Gareth Edwards answered (but be warned – it might make you want to fit in a Star Wars movie marathon before your holiday break is over)!

Felicity Jones, who takes the lead in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, is opening up about being a female actress in this day and age!

“It means such a huge amount to me to have been given this opportunity,” the 33-year-old actress expressed while appearing on BBC Breakfast. “I think it’s absolutely time that we have female leads and as many females leading films as we do men. It’s a very exciting time to be an actress.”

Felicity Jones does not want her Rogue One: A Star Wars Story leading role character, Jyn Erso, to be seen by audiences as an object!

“It shouldn’t be like ‘Oh, now she’s being strong’ and we will have to suddenly see that as a surprise. It’s literally down to the costume,” the 33-year-old actress expressed while appearing on Entertainment Weekly Radio. “I didn’t want her to be kind of running around in a tank top, a sleeveless top. It should be just that she’s focused on what she has to be doing. She has a very particular task ahead of her and that’s where the focus is. We’re not objectifying her. We’re not looking at her body.”

“You relate to her, I hope, as a person, as a character that you care about,” Felicity added. “And that’s at the forefront of your mind when you’re watching the film. And I think for all the characters, it is an ensemble film in the sense that you connect with each one of them and have empathy for each one of them in a different way. They all have their own story.”

Felicity Jones couldn’t be more excited to be the lead in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, but she doesn’t think it’s necessary to emphasize that she’s a “female lead.”

“People keep saying how amazing it is having a female lead and I just sort of feel, well, of course!,” the 33-year-old actress told the Metro. “It shouldn’t be such a big deal. We are half the population.”

“Obviously we have a female lead but I didn’t want to view it that way because the typical thing to do is to go overly into a badass stereotype of a tough woman that no one relates to,” director Gareth Edwards added.

The highly anticipated movie Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is about to hit theaters and something fans will want to know is if a sequel is in the works!

Well, the movie’s creative team is speaking out about plans for more films in the franchise.

Kathleen Kennedy, the president of Lucasfilm and the producer of the movie, told Empire magazine that there will NOT be a sequel to Rogue One.

Gareth Edwards, the director of Rogue One, says that a “sequel will be directed by George Lucas,” referring to the movie Star Wars: A New Hope. As you probably know, Rogue One is a prequel to the Episode IV.

The upcoming movie is a war film and fans are speculating that not many of the characters, possibly even Felicity Jones‘ Jyn Erso, will survive in the end. We will have to wait until the movie is released on December 16 to find out!

The Death Star rises on the new teaser poster for the upcoming movie Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which is set to hit theaters on December 16.

The poster was unveiled alongside a behind-the-scenes sizzle reel during the Star Wars celebration held on Friday (July 15) in London, England.

The cast of the movie – Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, Riz Ahmed, Jiang Wen, Forest Whitaker, and John Knoll – along with director Gareth Edwards and producer Kathleen Kennedy chatted with fans about the highly anticipated movie.

“Jyn is not a character who’s asking, ‘Where am I and where do I come from?’” Felicity said about her character. “We know where she comes from and that fact is what propels the story.”

She added that Jyn’s journey is “to find her reason and her cause.”

The Force Awakens star Gwendoline Christie was on hand to moderate the panel!
