It would make sense to help newer fans, who may be less familiar with the original trilogy, to be able to connect this new prequel to the current Star Wars universe. As far as characters from The Force Awakens showing up in Rogue One, there's certainly a possibility, but nothing is confirmed. Not much else is known about Rogue One other than the announced cast, and it's all new faces including Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, and Mads Mikkelsen. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet. The theft that's going to be depicted in the film is actually referenced in the opening crawl in A New Hope, and sets the stage for that film's plot: Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. Most of the characters will be new characters that fans have not seen before, so there's a good chance that several won't survive the mission in what sounds like is going to be a high stakes, outer space heist movie. It takes place somewhere in the interim between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, likely right before the events of the latter, and tells the story of a group of rebels who steal the plans for the Empire's original Death Star seen in A New Hope. Rogue One is the first of the Star Wars anthology movies, meaning it's a standalone film whose story is on the periphery the main saga.
So what happened in between? That's where Rogue One comes in. Anakin Skywalker (Luke's dad) becomes Darth Vader at the very end of Revenge of the Sith, but by the time A New Hope rolls around, Vader is already a very established and in-control villain. The films kicked off in 1999 with The Phantom Menace, and ended with 2005's Revenge of the Sith, and these films detailed the early life of Vader and the rise of the Empire. Well, in addition to the original trilogy, there was the prequel trilogy.
So where does Rogue One fit into all of this? Now, The Force Awakens takes place thirty years after that by continuing the story of those involved as well as introducing several new characters as it kicks off a new trilogy. There was the original trilogy, which began with Star Wars ( A New Hope) in 1977 and ended with Return of the Jedi in 1983, that told the story of Luke Skywalker and the rest of the Rebel Alliance doing battle against Darth Vader and the evil Empire.
But how does Rogue One connect to Force Awakens? It's already well-known how The Force Awakens connects to the Star Wars universe at large. That's because Rogue One: A Star Wars Story hits theaters next year.
#WHEN DOES THE FORCE AWAKENS TAKE PLACE MOVIE#
It's the first Star Wars movie in a decade, but there won't be such a wait before the next one. Star Wars: The Force Awakens is almost here.
