Lucasfilm announced on Thanksgiving night that advance tickets for Rogue One will go on sale this coming Monday November 28 in the United States. We have lots to be grateful for.

Rogue One marks the first stand-alone film in the franchise and will open December 16. This movie is unique among the other previous Star Wars installments, it will break the long time tradition of one story told over the span of multiple trilogies (the Skywalker story). This particular venture is set just prior to the even depicted in the 1977 original movie.

In a time of conflict, a group of unlikely heroes band together on a mission to steal the plans to the Death Star, the Empire’s ultimate weapon of destruction. This key event in the Star Wars timeline brings together ordinary people who choose to do extraordinary things, and in doing so, become part of something greater than themselves.
