Gareth Edwards is set to return to the director's chair for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and the title's meaning has had fans scratching their heads.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
Previous Star Wars film title have had some link to that film's plot but this new movie does seem to be breaking with that tradition a little.
Rogue One is the first Star Wars spin-off movie and will be set after events of a New Hope
And the filmmaker has discussed the film's title in an interview with Empire. He said: "I'd been thinking about it. What does it mean? 'Rogue One' is a military call sign to some extent. But this is the first film that's gone off-piste and is not part of the saga - or the Anakin story - so it's the 'rogue' one, you know?
"It's kind of describing her as well in a similar way. It has [all] these split, multiple meanings that made it feel like the right choice."
The movie sees Edwards team up with Jones for the first time as the Oscar-nominated actress takes on the central role of Jyn Erso. The movie follows in the footsteps of The Force Awakens with another fantastic lead female character.
Rogue One boasts an impressive cast as Ben Mendelsohn, Mads Mikkelsen, Diego Luna, Riz Ahmed, Alan Tudyk, Donnie Yen, and Forest Whitaker all star alongside Jones.
Rogue One is only the third feature film of Edwards' career and comes after huge success with Monsters and Godzilla in recent years.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story tells the story of how a group of unlikely heroes unite to undertake a daring and seemingly impossible mission to steal the plans for the Death Star.
The movie is released a year after the success of Star Wars: The Force Awakens and a year before Star Wars: Episode VIII hits the big screen.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is released 16th December.
