VIDEO Go Rogue is stop motion Star Wars goodness

Rogue One a Star Wars Story will be out in December 2016, and it's time to start getting excited.

To help with that, an army of fans has put together a whole series based on the film using some stop motion. magic. The first episode is here and it's pretty wonderful.

It's fun and funny and also seems to be telling at least some version of the story behind the upcoming film. This is actually a contest as well, with people being asked to submit their videos under the #GoRogue for a chance to win a trip to San Francisco to visit Lucasfilm and head to a screening of Rogue One.

Naturally as this is Star Wars there are lots of rules and unfortunately it's only open to US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand residents. Still we'll get to see some fun stuff over the next few months in the run to release.
