Well, it’s finally here – the new trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the first of the standalone films to be set in a galaxy far, far away, and there’s plenty of new footage to marvel at.
Granted, this doesn’t so much reveal new info as it does show off the characters in different situations (we get extended shots of Donnie Yen’s Chirrut Imwe decking Stormtroopers, Wen Jiang’s Baze Malbus launching a rocket at an AT-AT, Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor doing plenty of X-Wing stunts, not to mention the new U-Wing starfighter in action).
As you would expect, however, the money shot comes at the end. Let’s just say, “heavy breathing”.
