Read MoreThe excitement for Rogue One - A Star Wars Story builds to a climax with its release on Friday, December 16th. Arguably, the hype for this film officially began with the release of the Rogue One -Trailer on April 7, 2016. The anticipation was further fueled over the next six months with one sheets, additional trailers, the release of trademarked toys, and numerous works by fans.
Arguably, the most ambitious work by someone other than Lucasfilms was by Bricks Brought To Life who created an ambition parody in LEGO of the Roque One - Trailer. Bricks Brought to Life released their parody on May 4, 2016.
