A leak from Star Wars fan site Jedibibliothek on Friday shared some new images from a Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Although the leak also shared a number of preview images of the book, the photos have since been taken down. That said, we still get to share the coolest snippet of information for the leak – the Death Star was constructed on a "secluded world" known as Scarif.
According to the book's description, via Making Star Wars, the Planet Scarif featured "huge tracts of land excavated to build ships and supply the Death Star.” Scarif is also said to be a world protected by powerful shields. No doubt, Scarif was specifically chosen to defend the Empire's ultimate weapon from enemy threats. This presents a major obstacle for the rebel unit that must retrieve the Death Star's blueprint in order to help the rebellion to identify the Death Star's weakness and destroy it.
According to Jedibibliothek, the Rebel Alliance will be using a U-Wing starfighter to penetrate dangerous missions against the Empire. The U-Wing is a well-armed spacecraft and serves as both a troop transporter and a gunboat for the Rebel Alliance. It is capable of settling soldiers on the battlefield and provide air suport while under heavy fire.
Stay tuned as we expect to learn more about the mysteries of Planet Scarif as well as the ability of hte U-Wing starfighter in the months ahead. The Rogue One: A Star Wars Story release date is Dec. 16.
