Comfort Films 114: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016‪)‬ Comfort Films Podcast

What happens when Star Wars superfans make a Star Wars movie? Rogue One - the missing piece of the Star Wars saga we never knew we needed. It started as a pitch for a standalone Star Wars story from an ILM Visual Effects Supervisor, got a director who had vacationed in Tunisia to visit Star Wars sets and always wanted to be a member of the Rebel Alliance, and was cast with a diverse group of Star Wars fans from all around the world. As a prequel to Star Wars: A New Hope, Rogue One ties in perfectly with the original trilogy, teaching us that the hope started with a ragtag group of rebels on a very personal mission to steal Death Star plans from an Imperial data vault. We're a couple of Star Wars hope junkies from way back, so this one hits us right in the feels. Come save the dream with us!
