Rogue One is a 2016 science fiction war film that is the first installment of Star Wars Anthology. It is set just before the events of A New Hope, with a group of Rebel soldiers lead by Jyn Erso taking the plans of the Death Star. It was praised for its more realistic tone and originality. On the other hand, it also received criticism for its CGI recreations of the late Peter Cushing as Grand Moff Tarkin and a twenty-year-old Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia.
