Tucked away inside the hotel rooms designed to look like miniature interview television sets, the stars of this new flick — Felicity Jones (Jyn Erso), Donnie Yen (Chirrut Imwe), Diego Luna (Cassian Andor), Riz Ahmed (Bodhi), Alan Tudyk (K-2), Ben Mendelsohn (Krennic), Mads Mikkelsen (Galen Erso), and the film’s director, Gareth Edwards — prepared to discuss the making of this magical film.
Through a concoction of sci-fi action heroes, glimpses of another intergalactic world, and interludes of the supernatural, Rogue One hosts a compelling storyline of triumph, hope, and overcoming adversity.
