George Lucas, writer of the first six movies in the Star Wars saga, has revealed that the story of Star Wars has been told from the perspective of a character that may not have been expected by most fans. The well known droid character from the movies, R2-D2, is actually the narrator of the story. Lucas says that the droid is the keeper of the "journal of the whills"; which is a fictional book that holds all of the details involving the rebellion against the empire, the force, the Jedi order, the Dark Side, and basically all things that exist within the fictional Star Wars universe.
Lucas has also revealed that R2 is recounting the events in this journal approximately one-hundred years after the plot of the sixth movie, "Return of the Jedi". It can also be assumed that this journal holds other tales outside of the main plot line of Star Wars. This would explain the creation of the new spin-off plots such as "Rogue One".
