With just a couple of months before the film’s release, the latest trailer for Disney’s standalone Star Wars film ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ has hit the web, and it shows off a glimpse of some stunning new shots and intense battle scenes. Rogue One is set before Star Wars: A New Hope, and follows an unlikely team of heroes who are tasked with stealing the plans of the Empire’s new weapon, the Death Star. The film stars Felicity Jones (The Theory of Everything) as Jyn Erso, a woman who is recruited by the Rebels. Rogue One is the first of several planned Star Wars spinoff movies, and was directed by Gareth Edwards (Godzilla).
Disney has been careful to downplay its expectations for Rogue One. It’s the first major film set outside of the traditional saga, and has been characterized as “an experiment” by the company’s CEO, Bob Iger. Another standalone film about Han Solo starring Alden Ehrenreich is set to arrive in 2018, while a third was recently announced for 2020.
This is the second trailer for Rogue One and t is due to be released on December 15 in Australia and December 26 in the US and UK.
