The first installment of "Star Wars" anthology series has reportedly begun filming in Pinewood Studios, London. According to Making Star Wars, Felicity Jones has already filmed her first scene for "Rogue One".
The site reported that "Rogue One" included some familiar properties and outfits which were previously seen in other "Star Wars" movies. One noticeable stuff spotted on the set was Star Destroyer, the capital ship which was first introduced in 1977's "Star Wars". Han Solo referred to them as "Imperial cruisers."
The source also claimed that there was something that appeared to be Death Star, but it might be just more interiors of the Star Destroyers. One of the scenes was said to involve "a landing in the jungle."
While the rumor about the production of "Rogue One" has been floating around , another source says that the anthology movie has apparently been shooting for at least three weeks at the studio. However, there is no official confirmation from the studio as of now.
"Rogue One" will take place between "Episode III" and "Episode IV" when there wasn't a lot of Jedi activity. It will follow "a rogue band of resistance fighters (who) unite for a daring mission to steal the Death Star plans." Ben Mendelsohn, Sam Claflin, Riz MC, Diego Luna and Forest Whitaker are also on board to star in the film. Directed by Gareth Edwards, the sci-fi movie is slated for a release on December 16, 2016.
