Now that The Force Awakens is finally coming to the end of its record-breaking run in cinemas, it's time to turn our full attention to the next film in the Star Wars universe. Welcome to Disney's galaxy, where there'll be a Star Wars film every year until at least 2020, but also many more far, far beyond that. Only time - and quality - will truly tell whether that's a good or bad thing, but right now it's an incredibly exciting time to be a Star Wars fan. J.J. Abrams and co. have brought the saga roaring back to life, and mapped out a potentially great new trilogy. Along with those we've got the standalone films, or badly-named Star Wars Stories. In 2018 we'll have the young Han Solo film, directed by Hollywood's finest comedy directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller, but first up it's Gareth Edwards' Rogue One. And, well, it sounds brilliant. Essentially Episode IV Opening Crawl: The Movie, it'll focus on a band of rebels who attempt to steal the plans to the Death Star, or in other words, a f***load of X-Wings flying into battle, but with the emphasis heavier on the Wars than the Stars; something that's dark and gritty. If that wasn't exciting enough, the cast includes Felicity Jones and Mads Mikkelsen, and maybe a few of these familiar faces as well.
NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far.
A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
