I like the brand new trailer for “” and I like that it all looks quite varied, you see so many different areas, and also that it all seems more rounded and impressive. The lying stone guy with a lightsaber is just a really nice touch and anyway it makes a very solid impression. Lots of new shots, flashbacks with Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) as a child, gigantic ex-Jedi statues in ruins and Vader stomping through the scenery! Gets horny. But we'll see at Christmas how much of the dark war film remains after Disneyfication through the reshoots that have now been completed. The cast is pretty great and the soundtrack too...
The story of Rogue One takes place before “Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope,” released in 1977. At the center of the story is a young rebel group that fights against the Empire and wants to prevent construction work on the Death Star. Together with shady bounty hunters, the rebels steal plans for the new super weapon and find themselves in the crosshairs of the oppressive empire around Darth Vader.
