Storyline

“Rogue One” (2016) follows a band of unlikely heroes led by Jyn Erso, who unite to steal the plans for the Death Star, the Empire’s ultimate weapon of destruction. Set just before the events of the original Star Wars, their desperate mission sets the stage for the Rebel Alliance’s fight for freedom.

Why It’s Our Vibe

A gritty, thrilling standalone that blends war film intensity with Star Wars mythos, Rogue One offers a fresh perspective on sacrifice and rebellion.
