Original announcement:
In addition to the episodes of a new Star Wars trilogy, Lucasfilm and Disney have begun development on multiple stand-alone movies that will offer new stories beyond the core Saga. Gareth Edwards will direct the first stand-alone film, with a screenplay by Gary Whitta. The film is due out December 16, 2016.

Gareth Edwards blazed into the filmmaking forefront with his acclaimed work on Monsters, a film he wrote, directed and served on as cinematographer and visual effects artist. The skill and vision readily apparent in Monsters earned him the high-profile spot directing this year's smash hit Godzilla.

"Ever since I saw Star Wars I knew exactly what I wanted to do for the rest of my life - join the Rebel Alliance! I could not be more excited & honored to go on this mission with Lucasfilm, said Edwards.

Gary Whittas screenwriting credits include 2010s The Book of Eli starring Denzel Washington. He is also well known as a journalist and editor in the video game industry, as well as part of the BAFTA award-winning team on Telltale Games adaptation of The Walking Dead.

Whitta states, "From the moment I first saw the original movie as a wide-eyed kid, Star Wars has been the single most profound inspiration to my imagination and to my career as a writer. It is deeply special to me,so to be given the opportunity to contribute to its ongoing legacy, especially in collaboration with a film-maker as talented as Gareth,is literally a dream come true. I'm still pinching myself."

I'm so excited for this, rumor has it tickets go on sale tomorrow.

EDIT: evidentially the release of presale tickets has been pushed toward the end of the month, way closer to the release date than the two months prior they did for the force awakens.

been waiting last few weeks to book of now to do cheers for the heads up

basil :thumbs:

Same here, considering how early TFA was up for prebooking last year, I was expecting the same thing this year.

I'm far more excited by this release than the TFA.
With the pre and post SW original movies, you are quite likely to see lots of material variations & redesigns. While Rogue One, the timeline will be closer to SW originals and that's what I love most about SW.
