Rogue One Prequel Series Lands An Impressive Showrunner

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was released in 2016 and made more than $1 billion at the worldwide box office, from a fairly even split between the domestic and foreign box offices (as opposed to, say, Venom). Not accounting for inflation, it is the third highest-grossing film in the Star Wars franchise, after Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Rogue One was the first standalone anthology film, set just before the events of the very first Star Wars film, A New Hope.
