MUMBAI: Always showcasing the best in Hollywood cinema, Star Movies and Star Movies Select HD have a Christmas-eve treat lined up for its Star Wars fans. For the first time on Indian Television, Star Movies and Star Movies Select HD will air ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ on December 24, 2017 at 1 PM & 9 PM.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is an all new epic adventure which is loaded with more battle action than any of its seven predecessors. Produced by LucasFilm and directed by Gareth Edwards, the story brings together a group of unlikely heroes together on a mission to steal the plans to the Death Star, the Empire’s ultimate weapon of destruction.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story centers on a female warrior (Felicity Jones as Jyn Erso) who is driven by destiny to take on the mightiest power in the galaxy. This key event in the Star Wars timeline brings together ordinary people who choose to do extraordinary things, and in doing so, become a part of something greater than themselves. The movie urges ordinary people to ‘Join the Hope & be a Part of the Rebellion’ to avert destruction of unprecedented scale.

Said to be perhaps the darkest, most action-packed Star Wars instalment, director Gareth Edwards’ standalone adventure establishes its own rhythm, balancing fan demands with grand, poetic moments unlike anything this cinematic galaxy has previously achieved.
