This Friday the newest edition of Entertainment Weekly will be publicly released, with added emphasis placed towards the newest movie installment of the Star Wars Saga, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. In their press release, EW had this to say:

"In this week's issue of Entertainment Weekly, we bring you an inside look at 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which explores just how the Rebellion came to possess the information that revealed the fatal flaw in the Empire's super weapon. It's a battlefield heist that fans have been imagining for nearly 40 years, described in the opening crawl of 1977's original 'Star Wars' with little details scattered throughout"


In their newest issue, EW take a sneak peak at Lucasfilm's 'secret plans', which include:
  • Official confirmation of Darth Vader's return to the big screen.
  • New information about Jyn Erso and her father, played by Mads Mikkelsen.

  • Ben Mendelsohn's view on the 'Imperial Ranks' and his character's own ambitions, notably the character's eagerness to win favour of the Emperor and avoid the wrath of Darth Vader.
  • The filmmakers give clearer revelations about what the reshoots are adding to the plot, as the film nears its cinematic release.
