Disney has continued the Star Wars trilogy with a spin-off from the earlier spectacular adventures. Fans got a glimpse of what was in the 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story' when the debut was released last week on Good Morning America.

The plot here in not a continuation of 'Episode 7: The Force Awakens,' but is set in a time between 'Episode 6: A New Hope' and 'Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith.'

The plot narrates the story of Rebel Alliance and how they overpower the Galactic Empire, as the rebels are working in close cohesion to steal the plans for the Death Star before it can be used to enforce the Emperor's rule.

Director Gareth Edwards said that the new Rogue One is an all-and-out war flick. "It's the reality of war. Good guys are bad. Bad

Unbeknownst to Lucas, the film became a commercial success and a cultural phenomenon. Having been born in 1997, I wasn’t alive at the time where Star Wars had been released. I had never experienced first-hand the infamous twist that Darth Vader was actually Luke Skywalker’s, the protagonist of the original Star Wars trilogy, father in cinemas at the time of Empire Strikes Back’s release.…
