Starring Felicity Jones and Diego Luna, Rogue One It was the first film derived from Star WarsAnd he focused on a group of rebels on a mission to steal the plans of the death star. The cast included Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk and Forest Whitaker.
While Rogue One was acclaimed by critics and fans after its premiere in 2016 (he raised more than one billion dollars worldwide), his reputation has only grows thanks to the admiration for his series prequel to Disney+, Andor.
The director of Rogue One, Gareth Edwardshe recently told the Business Insider portal that he would never make another movie from Star Wars And he added: “I am very happy to move on and do my thing”.
“I do not agree, but I appreciate it,” Edwards said when Rogue One was named the best Star Wars movie in the Disney era. “I am very grateful that people say beautiful things”.
“What you have to take into account when making other films is that it is not about how people feel the day of the premiere, but how people feel within 10 or 20 years,” Edwards said about Rogue One’s tenth anniversary next year.
“When you make a movie, you live at least in a year, you try to imagine what it will be like, all these decisions you are making, how will they be in a year when the movie is released, what will the public think? And when the film opens, you say: ‘I will pretend that I live in 10 years, and no matter what people say at that time. that this is the reward. ”
The controversy behind the direction of Rogue One
The production of Rogue One became famous after circulating reports that Lucasfilm had chopped to Edwards and hired Tony Gilroy (who later created Andor) to write new dialogues and direct additional scenes. Edwards declared in 2023 in “The Business” of Kcrw that “there are many inaccuracies” about the realization of his Star Wars prequel.
“There is a lot of information on the Internet about what happened in that film – there is a lot of inaccuracy,” Edwards said. “Tony [Gilroy] He arrived and did an excellent job, no doubt. Definitely. But We all work together until the last minute of the film”
“I had the opportunity to make a ‘Star Wars’ movie. In that sense, I touched the lottery,” he continued. “The idea that someone as privileged as I insinuated that it was more than the incredible experience that was, to some extent … it is as if I did not feel empathy for that person, and I don’t want to be that person either.”
Edwards is now the director of Jurassic World Rebirththat opens in theaters on July 3 by the hand of Universal Pictures.
