Three weeks until it’s go time! December 16th ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ is set to hit theatres, however, advanced tickets have got everyone hyped! You can expect advanced tickets to go on sale this Monday, November 28th across Canada.

Where does this fit into the series: “Rogue One is the first stand alone in the Star Wars franchise and falls between the events of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith and shortly before the events of the original Star Wars: A New Hope.”

Premise: In a time of conflict, a group of unlikely heroes band together on a mission to steal the plans to the Death Star, the Empire’s ultimate weapon of destruction. This key event in the Star Wars timeline brings together ordinary people who choose to do extraordinary things, and in doing so, become part of something greater than themselves.
