Star Wars Rogue One: 10 Major Questions We Still Have

10. When Is Rogue One Actually Set?

That iconic starting crawl will undoubtedly set the scene for Rogue One (assuming there actually is one), but with Revenge of Sith ending some 19 years prior to A New Hope, Rogue One is expected to fill that gap in between. If only there was a handy Captain's log, Stardate to keep us informed.

The final trailer also gave a long-awaited Darth Vader in full get up, so we also know that Anakin Skywalker is officially no more, while a fully functioning Death Star puts the date closer to Episode IV than III.

Revenge of the Sith teased the first building of a Death Star, and Return of the Jedi showed us Death Star 2.0 in construction. We know that such a project doesn't just happen over night - this is not a Starkiller Base we are talking about. A precise date of the Rogue One mission is unknown, but we know all the pieces will be in place for the start of A New Hope.

Despite being close to the originals in timing, director Gareth Edwards is taking a different path and story from Lucas's original, so we shouldn't look out for too many ties to the first trilogy.

Don't get hyped for any Obi Wan appearances, and don't expect to see a teeny Luke Skywalker knocking around on Tatooine. However, with Jimmy Smits confirming he will be back as Bail Organa, chances of a young Princess Leia is much more likely.

Fans of the series will know that A New Hope starts with Leia sending the Death Star plans hurling out into the unknown in the care of C3-PO and R2-D2, so expect Rogue One to build towards that conclusion.
