People Magazine Reveals The Secrets of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
People Magazine has released its special issue today, Star Wars: The Secrets of Rogue One, and we’ve got some of the highlights…
Star Wars: The Secrets of Rogue One is People Magazine’s special issue dedicated to all things Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and is available on newsstands today. The issue comes is apparently filled with everything a Star Wars fan needs to know about the first-ever standalone Star Wars movie. There are exclusive photos, interviews with the cast, behind-the-scenes details, and a virtual-reality bonus feature that comes complete with goggles!
People talked to Chief Creative Officer at Industrial Light and Magic, John Knoll, who had this to say about how he came up with the idea for Rogue One:
"“The opening crawl in A New Hope, about rebel spies managing to steal plans to the ultimate battle station — I just kept thinking, ‘That’d be a really good movie by itself,’ ”"
As it turns out, that was a really great idea, and on December 16, we will see Knoll’s idea come to fruition on the big screen.
