Set five years before the Battle of Yavin, fans will be able to see the Empire in its full glory after being in power for around 14 years following the events of The Revenge Of The Sith.

Rogue One co-writer Tony Gilroy is directing and acting showrunner for the series.

It was expected the crew would need eight days to complete scenes for one of the episodes. The set-up was slightly hindered by a deluge of rain and heavy wind over the Bank Holiday weekend.
