Sorry, everyone waiting for 'Rogue Two.'

Things aren't looking good for Jyn Erso or the rest of her Rogue One: A Star Wars Story comrades. According to Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, no matter how well the first stand-alone Star Wars performs at the box office, there won't be a sequel.

Kennedy made the announcement in the latest issue of Empire's print magazine (as noticed by /Film), and she was backed up by John Knoll — the Lucasfilm chief creative officer and former visual effects supervisor who came up with the idea for the movie in the first place — and director Gareth Edwards.

Edwards, in fact, goes so far as to say that any sequel "will be directed by George Lucas," referencing the fact that the new movie is explicitly intended as a prequel to the 1977 original Star Wars that launched the entire franchise.

Since Rogue One was announced, many have speculated that it would end poorly for the team led by Felicity Jones' character, the daughter of a scientist working on the creation of the Empire's Death Star. That pessimism might be confirmed by this news; after all, if all of the protagonists ended up dead by the end of the movie, it would explain why Kennedy et al could be quite so firm about the lack of a Rogue Two, even if the movie is a mammoth hit.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is set to be released Dec. 16.

No sequel was obvious, but that doesn't mean everyone has to die at the end of the film. They could appear in other stories (like the Han Solo film )

That said, I do expect some deaths and sadness at the end of this film.

Sequel already announced tho

But yeah, I fully expected everyone to be one and done with this. And with the movie taking place right before ANH, I just don't see them getting even more backstory at an earlier stage in their lives by appearing in another anthology film. Unless they show Han in the academy and K2S0 is there still a part of the Empire.

love your idea- hopefully we do get to see Han in the Academy/Imperial Navy in his anthology movie. If we do, I'm guessing it would be brief, and his decision to defect and become a smuggler would kick off the action in the opening act.

Am I the only one that's not hyped for Rogue One? I mean, I'm gonna see it out of obligation, but I far more hyped for TFA than I was for Rogue One.

I'm the opposite. I was excited for TFA, but I am beyond hyped for Rogue. I truly believe this film about to completely change the Star Wars universe. BIG time.

The TFA hype was a once in a lifetime thing for me that will probably never be touched until we get that Boba Fett movie. But I'm just as excited for Rogue One as I am for any Marvel movie, so it's definitely pretty high.

On another note, I feel like I would see these two in a middle school parent/teacher conference.

I'm hyped for it but there was a time where I thought there would never be another Star Wars film released, so when TFA was announced I felt like I did when TPM released. I'm still excited for R1 though. But nothing will match the hype I had for TFA
