A former Higham Lane School student is causing an intergalactic stir among cinema-goers during a return to his home town.

Gareth Edwards (pictured below) has become a world-renowned film director, his most recent blockbuster being the Star Wars spin-off `Rogue One'.

Star Wars aficionados are now being offered a rare opportunity to meet and quiz the famed director when he makes a special visit to Nuneaton's Abbey Theatre & Arts Centre next month.

Following a special screening of `Rogue One' at the Pool Bank Street venue on Thursday, December 21st, Gareth will be on-hand to meet fans and answer questions about the film.

Not surprisingly, tickets are selling fast and only a handful remain. To book, please see the Abbey Theatre website.
