Rogue One: A Star Wars Story might not carry the opening crawl that has been in front of every Star Wars movie so far, according to a producer.
Kathleen Kennedy was speaking to ET Online at Star Wars Celebration Europe on Friday and said "these movies" might not have the Star Wars theme blasting behind that yellow mass of floating exposition.
"You know we're in the midst of talking about it, but I don't think these films will have an opening crawl," Kennedy said. "I think that's what we kind of telegraphed at the beginning of the event today."
Rogue One's director, Gareth Edwards, said that since this film is essentially based on a crawl then maybe having a crawl to this one would be too much.
"This film is born out of a crawl...this is feeling like if we do a crawl then it will create another movie," Edwards said. "The honest answer is you'll have to wait and see and pray."
Edwards, the director of Godzilla, directs Rogue One from a script by About a Boy and Cinderella writer Chris Weitz. The film stars Felicity Jones (The Theory of Everything), Diego Luna (Elysium), Riz Ahmed (Nightcrawler), Ben Mendelsohn (The Dark Knight Rises), Donnie Yen (Ip Man), Forest Whitaker (The Butler), Mads Mikkelsen (Hannibal), Alan Tudyk (Firefly), and the return of James Earl Jones.
