Disney has launched a new line of Star Wars figurines that are replicas of characters in the upcoming Rogue One: A Star Wars Story movie, the first standalone film from the hugely popular sci-fi franchise hitting cinemas in December.
The movie, starring The Theory of Everything actress Felicity Jones and Oscar winner Forest Whitaker, follows a group of rebels fighting for freedom in the Star Wars universe.
Disney, which bought Star Wars creator George Lucas' Lucasfilm Ltd in 2012, also launched on Friday a contest for fans to make homemade films with the toys though little has been given away about the movie.
