12 Upcoming Movies Nerds Should Be Most Thankful For
9. Star Wars: Rogue One
Release Date: December 16th 2016 Finally, an answer to the age-old question of why it took so long to build the first Death Star between the end of Episode III and the start of A New Hope. The first Star Wars Anthology film will not only focus on the early days of the Galactic Empire, but also the rise of Darth Vader and the Emperor as a background to the Star Wars universes boldest plot. After all, Luke wouldnt have even known WHERE to use the Force if it werent for the Rogue One squadron. Why Should You Be Thankful? The return of Darth Vader, Obi Wan Kenobi (probably) and Grand Moff Tarkin alone should be enough to be thankful for, but theres a lot more than that. Gareth Edwards has legitimate geek film-making credentials, the cast is great and the prospect of a rag-tag heist movie set in the Star Wars universe is a truly wonderful thing.
