Gareth Edwards reveals the one person in the world he wanted to impress with Rogue One

The Force is strong with this one...

Star Wars. You've heard of it, yeah?

In case you've been living under an asteroid-sized rock recently, you'll know that a brand new Star Wars film has hit cinemas this week; Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

To mark the film's release, we had the chance to sit down with the director, Gareth Edwards.

Edwards, the man behind the magnificent Monsters (2010) and the gargantuan Godzilla (2014), is a proper bona fide, die-hard Star Wars fan, so there really was no better person to take the reigns of the first ever Star Wars spin-off film.

We caught up with the director in a hotel room far, far away (in London) to chat about the Irish connections in Rogue One, his recommended order to watch the Star Wars films in and he reveals the one person in the world he really, really wanted to impress with his film

Enjoy...
