The Rebellion has received a message that this new-fangled Death Star might be something to take seriously and they recruit her (not quite willingly) to take the message to her former mentor Saw Gerrera (Forest Whitaker) who might be able to make some sense of it. We leap forward a few years and Jyn (the toothsome Felicity Jones) is safe from Krennic’s clutches but in trouble nonetheless – a spirited and independent young woman in the mould of Rey from The Force Awakens. As the film begins, he is persuading Mr Urso to rejoin the project by shooting his wife and trying to kidnap his daughter, Jyn.īen Mendelsohn is crazy fascist dreamer and Death Star builder Orson Krennic Photo: Disney Crazy fascist visionary Orson Krennic (Ben Mendolsohn) has a dream of a giant moon-resembling space station with star destroying capacity but he can’t build it without the help of scientist and engineer Galen Urso (Mads Mikkelsen).

The Empire’s hold on the galaxy appears absolute apart from a small rebel alliance struggling to have much of an impact – an insurgency rather than a full-flown rebellion.

You don’t really know anybody – except embarrassing Uncle Vader – but you’ll go because there might be somebody cute to pash later on.

But they can only churn these massive projects out so fast, and Disney is desperate never to cede December to another studio, so in the off years we now get films like Rogue One – supposedly stand-alone stories that flesh-out the Star Wars universe. Last year, The Force Awakens restarted the original saga to considerable fan satisfaction – I know one young fellow who saw it three times in a week.
