Introduced via a stop-motion animated video titled Star Wars Go Rogue, the contest allows fans to create their own stories or skits that are set in a galaxy far, far away. The video must be two minutes in length and be inspired by Rogue One: A Star Wars Story with the submission deadline set for Oct. 21. In addition to attending the film screening, the winner will be able to visit Lucasfilm as well as Rancho Obi-Wan and watch the premier of the short videos on the big screen.

“These fan-created shorts are a tribute to the incredible content that the Star Wars community posts online every day,” said chairman of Disney Consumer Products and Interactive Media, Jimmy Pitaro. “The Go Rogue campaign was designed with Star Wars fans in mind – we want them to be front and center in the run up to Rogue Story by imagining and creating their own Rogue Stories.”

Star Wars Go Rogue is the collaboration between Lucasfilm, creative network Tongal and Star Wars fans. Released on Aug. 30 on YouTube, it introduces new Rogue One merchandise, such as action figure-sized Rebel agents, bobble-head Stormtroopers and a partially built Lego Death Star, according to The Verge.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is the first standalone Star Wars film. Directed by Gareth Edwards, it focuses on a gang of unlikely heroes who aim to steal the plans to the Empire’s greatest weapon of destruction, the Death Star. Starring Felicity Jones, Diego Luna and other renowned actors, the film’s release is slated for December. (kes)
