The Harbor Theatre

HELD OVER!  “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” The first of the Star Wars standalone films, prequels to the original Star Wars films that began in 1977.

Former scientist Galen Erso lives on a farm with his wife and young daughter Jyn. His peaceful existence comes crashing down when the evil Orson Krennic takes him away from his beloved family. Many years later, Galen is now the Empire's lead engineer for the most powerful weapon in the galaxy, the Death Star.

Knowing that her father holds the key to its destruction, a vengeful Jyn joins forces with a spy and other resistance fighters to steal the space station's (Death Star) plans for the Rebel Alliance.

This key event in the Star Wars timeline brings together ordinary people who choose to do extraordinary things, and in doing so, become part of something greater than themselves.

The ensemble cast includes Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Alan Tudyk, Mad Mikkelsen, Forest Whitaker, James Earl Jones and Jiang Wen.

‘Rogue One’ plays at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 4 through Saturday, Jan. 7; Sunday, Jan. 8 at 2 p.m. only. Closed Monday and Tuesday.
