Rogue One director has a cameo in the film

San Francisco — Director Gareth Edwards says he gave himself a cameo in the Star Wars spinoff Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. But, as with most things Star Wars, Edwards is staying mum on what exactly that entails.

The reveal, he said, might have to wait for the DVD extras.

Edwards is a self-proclaimed Star Wars super fan and has said that as a child he used to watch the first 10 minutes of the 1977 Star Wars every day before school.

Rogue One is set right before the events of that original film and chronicles the saga of the rebels who steal the plans for the Death Star. Arriving in theaters on 15 December, Rogue One is the first in a series of spinoffs set inside the universe of Star Wars.
