Disney’s D23 Celebrates The Arrival Of “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story”

Get ready “Star Wars” fans, and get prepared to blast off once again to a galaxy far, far away—only this time, it’s with an almost new set of characters in “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story”. The film’s stars Felicity Jones and Alan Tudyk, director Gareth Edwards, and producer Kathleen Kennedy give people a glimpse into the making of the film, which is centered on a group of rebels determined to steal the plans for the menacing Death Star. Kennedy reveals the origins of this first “stand-alone” film, while Edwards discusses the detailed planning that went into bringing Darth Vader back to the big screen.

The winter issue, exclusively for Gold Members of D23: The Official Disney Fan Club, also includes a look at the 30th anniversary of Disney Parks’ Star Tours, with detailed concept artwork and in-depth interviews. And Tudyk, who gives voice to droid K-2SO in Rogue One, talks about being a “lucky charm” for Walt Disney Animation Studios, having provided his vocal talents for such films as Big Hero 6, Frozen, Wreck-It Ralph, and this month’s Moana.

Plus, Auli‘i Cravalho talks about her star turn as the title character in Moana, and reveals she almost didn’t audition for the dazzling animated film, which opens November 23. The creators of the exhilarating new Iron Man Experience unveil details about the Marvel-themed attraction, which opens at Hong Kong Disneyland next January. And the team behind the enhancements on the Disney Wonder cruise ship gives fans an inside look at the unique experiences and exquisite details guests will enjoy when they next set sail.

There’s much more Disney magic in the winter issue of Disney twenty-three, including:
• An exploration of the new book Maps of the Disney Parks, which highlights stunning works of art
that have gone into park cartography over the years
• The reunion of Newsies original Broadway cast members for a new filmed version of the hit musical
• Famous Disney characters from around the world that you (may) have never met
• The storytelling and artistry of Marvel’s Enchanted Tiki Room comic books
• A celebration of 60 years of the delightful Daisy Duck
• Regular features including A Walk with Walt, D Society, and Ask Dave
