Can you Feel the Force in this New Rogue One Trailer?

The Rogue One Poster

As if the release of the Rogue One: A STAR WARS Story poster wasn’t enough for fans, the brand new trailer was launched today and with it the feels of The Force. I’ve watched the trailer quite a few times and as the rebels come together and give hope to the rebellion I want to cheer. Seeing Jyn and Baze and Saw and Chirrut rally around their mission is very empowering. I fear that they will not live to see another movie because we know what their mission is and while it is ultimately successful, I’m not spoiling anything here if you have ever watched a STAR WARS movie, you know the plans for the Death Star are secured by these rebels. Here is the official description of the movie.

From Lucasfilm comes the first of the Star Wars standalone films, ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY, an all-new epic adventure. In a time of conflict, a group of unlikely heroes band together on a mission to steal the plans to the Death Star, the Empire’s ultimate weapon of destruction. This key event in the Star Wars timeline brings together ordinary people who choose to do extraordinary things, and in doing so, become part of something greater than themselves.

I still fear for them and their survival. You can see the trailer for yourself here.

Rogue One Trailer Hit Today! Is it December Yet?

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

Last night I saw an 11 second commercial teaser for ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY which said that today the trailer would debut on Good Morning America. This morning I got up and downstairs just in time to watch it with Allison and Eva. They are the two biggest Star Wars fans in my life. They didn’t quite get what was going on and so I explained that Lucasfilm’s ROGUE ONE, which takes place before the events of Star Wars: A New Hope, tells the story of unlikely heroes who have united to steal plans to the dreaded Death Star. And from the looks of it there is a female lead who will be key to getting those plans.

The cast includes Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Jiang Wen, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, Riz Ahmed, and Forest Whitaker. ROGUE ONE is directed by Gareth Edwards, produced by Kathleen Kennedy, Allison Shearmur, and Simon Emanuel, executive produced by John Knoll and Jason McGatlin, and co-produced by John Swartz and Kiri Hart.

You can see the trailer that debuted this morning below. It has so much to it and is already being dissected all over the Internet by those far more knowledgeable about Star Wars than myself. I was excited that I recognized Mon Mothma. Allison was excited to see Forest Whitaker.

ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY opens in theaters everywhere on December 16, 2016!
