It’s been a long time coming, but Disney has finally revealed the trailer for this year’s Star Wars spin-off; Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Featuring Oscar-nominated Felicity Jones as the lead, and showcasing plenty of action and explosions, this movie looks set to be an exciting heist-esque spectacle; focusing on a group of rebels setting out to steal the plans for the Death Star, and taking place directly before A New Hope.
Rogue One will fill the gap this year between The Force Awakens and the as-yet-untitled Star Wars: Episode VIII, which is slated for release next winter. It’s clear to see that Disney intends on releasing Star Wars films as often as possible, with Rogue One only being the first in a list of planned spin-off movies. After all, Disney has a large job to do in deepening the Star Wars lore, due to their decision to disregard almost every facet of the Star Wars Expanded Universe in order to try and streamline the Star Wars canon to fit in with their plans.
Rogue One is set to land in UK cinemas on the 16th of December; check out the trailer below and be the judge of it yourself!
