With news that “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” is breaking records before it has even hit theaters, a sequel is NOT happening. There was NEVER a sequel planned, maybe that will change?!?

Flip and get the latest details on Rogue One: A Star Wars Story…

CelebNMovies247.com has learned that LucasFilm President Kathleen Kennedy has confirmed that Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is meant to be a stand alone movie.

The news comes as a shock to us, but it also makes sense since the film is a prequel to “A New Hope.”

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story details:

Visual effects artist John Knoll spoke to Empire Magazine (according to Slash Film) that “Rogue One” was always meant to be a self-contained film.

In the same issue, director Gareth Edwards also said if there were to be a second installment for “Rogue One,” “that sequel will be directed by George Lucas,” referencing “Star Wars: Episode IV.”

It sounds like “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” will take audience goers everywhere right up to the beginning of Star Wars: A New Hope.

Despite the lack of a “Rogue Two,” “Rogue One” is already off to a powerful start. According to pre-release tracking, the film is expected to open to more than $130 million, which comes after “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” ruled the box office last December.

Can LucasFilm’s do it again for the second time during the Christmas holiday? If so, the other studios might want to think twice about releasing movies like Avatar next year.

Thoughts?
