If you are like me, you love Star Wars and have been obsessed with all Star Wars related news since "The Force Awakens" was announced. It's been Star Wars Mania for the past couple of months. The last few weeks were especially full of Star Wars news. Here are a few of the newest developments in the Star Wars universe.
1. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Trailer
The trailer for Star Wars' first Anthology film was released on April 7th. The movie will star Felicity Jones, Donnie Yen, Jiang Wen and Alan Tudyk. The film will take place just before "A New Hope." It will focus on a group of Rebel spies who are on a mission to steal the plans for the Death Star. The release of the trailer spurred much speculation from fans and theories about who Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) actually is. Some fans have wondered if she is the answer to the ever pressing question of "Who is Rey's mother?" Some have run with this theory and even suggest she could have been a love interest for Luke Skywalker. Another theory is that Jyn is Poe Dameron's mother. Regardless, the release of the trailer has brought up many topics of discussion for fans about the anthology of the Star Wars Universe.
