I’m excited that they casted a female lead for Rogue One. As a father of a daughter, it just makes me light up to see strong women in films.

Rogue One feels like a whole different side to Star Wars. Losing a sense of fun might kill it but I'm so interested in seeing this.

Who will get the first Rouge One lipstick to market? MAC Windu? Darth Dolce and Gabanna the Hut? Yves San Lando Calrissian? #rougeone

Best part of the Rogue One trailer is the part where it's literally just set in Canary Wharf station. pic.twitter.com/1fivShusAH

So, seems Rogue One is about a heroic X-Wing Pilot trying to get a train at Canary Wharf.
