Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One (First Stand-Alone movie)

Plot revealed for the first stand-alone movies:
Goes on to mention that Felicity Jones plays a rebel soldier and that there will be no Jedi in this movie. It will be set sometime after the events of III but before (naturally) A New Hope. Also this will be a "war" film as well. Haven't seen a good quality teaser on YouTube yet.

Plot revealed: it’s about the rebel spies who steal the plans to the Death Star.

A construction job of that magnitude would require a helluva lot more manpower than the Imperial army had to offer. I'll bet there were independent contractors working on that thing: plumbers, aluminum siders, roofers. In order to get it built quickly and quietly they'd hire anybody who could do the job. Do you think the average storm trooper knows how to install a toilet main? All they know is killing and white uniforms.
All those innocent contractors hired to do a job were killed - casualties of a war they had nothing to do with. You're a roofer, and some juicy government contract comes your way; you got the wife and kids and the two-story in suburbia - this is a government contract, which means all sorts of benefits. All of a sudden these left-wing militants blast you with lasers and wipe out everyone within a three-mile radius. You didn't ask for that. You have no personal politics. You're just trying to scrape out a living.

And speaking as a roofer, I can say that a roofer's personal politics come heavily into play when choosing jobs.
Three months ago I was offered a job up in the hills. A beautiful house with tons of property. It was a simple reshingling job, but I was told that if it was finished within a day, my price would be doubled. Then I realized whose house it was.
Dominick Bambino's
The money was right, but the risk was too big. I knew who he was, and based on that, I passed the job on to a friend of mine.
And that week, the Foresci family put a hit on Babyface's house. My friend was shot and killed. He wasn't even finished shingling.
I'm alive because I knew there were risks involved taking on that particular client. My friend wasn't so lucky. You know, any contractor willing to work on that Death Star knew the risks. If they were killed, it was their own fault. A roofer listens to this... (taps his heart) not his wallet.

They're going to squeeze every drop of life out of Star Wars now. It will be like the super hero movies eventually, just one huge blur.

Killing? Have you ever seen a storm trooper shoot? They don't know how to kill shite.

Way to piss off half of the fan base right off the bat. Will definitely not ever see this movie if there are no Jedi. I will boycott on principle.
