<p><em>Star Wars: Rogue One</em> is a spinoff from the main series and is <a href="http://ift.tt/2g62DNt">not expected to get a sequel</a>. But would director Gareth Edwards want to come back to direct another film in the sci-fi series someday? Maybe, he said in a new interview, but it&#8217;s more important for him is to have other people direct new installments.</p>
<p>&quot;It&#8217;s nearly impossible for me to say, &#8216;No, I would never ever do Star Wars ever again,&#8217; but I sort of feel like you know, I&#8217;ve won the lottery in terms of cinema,&quot; he<a rel="nofollow" href="http://ift.tt/2ggryR9"> told IGN</a>. &quot;The most unfair thing you can do with the lottery winning is go buy more lottery tickets. It&#8217;s like, you&#8217;ve got to let other people.&quot;</p>

<p>Also in the interview, Edwards singled out the iconic Star Wars character Obi-Wan Kenobi as one he would be theoretically interested in exploring in a new film. Specifically, he&#8217;d like to drill down on the time Obi-Wan spent on Tatooine as Luke Skywalker&#8217;s mentor of sorts.</p>
<p>&quot;The bit that fascinated me before I knew about anything, I probably gravitated toward Tatooine because that&#8217;s where I fantasized about as a kid, like, wanting to be like Luke Skywalker,&quot; Edwards said. &quot;And as part of that obviously Obi-Wan Kenobi, his wilderness years. I mean, I feel like that would, I&#8217;d pay to watch that film.&quot;</p>
<p>Actor Ewan McGregor, who played Obi-Wan in the Star Wars prequels, has <a href="http://ift.tt/2e3p6wX">publicly said the character should get his own standalone movie someday</a>.</p>
<p>In terms of new genres for the Star Wars series, Edwards said he&#8217;s interested in &quot;something a bit more like a samurai movie or a western.&quot; On the same line, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy recently said <a href="http://ift.tt/2fCxFMO">one of the ideas for the 2018 Han Solo movie is for it to have a western-type feel</a>.</p>
<p><em>Rogue One </em>comes out on December 16. Just today, Lucasfilm released a <a href="http://ift.tt/2h2khFX">new video for the movie that introduces viewers to main character Jyn Erso</a>, who is played by Felicity Jones.</p>
<p>While you have to wait a bit longer to see <em>Rogue One</em>, you can <a href="http://ift.tt/2gLpMs1">pick up Star Wars: Battlefront&#8217;s tie-in DLC, Rogue One: Scarif, right now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC</a>. The DLC features four maps set on the tropical planet of Scarif and adds Jyn Erso and Orson Krennic as playable characters.</p>
