A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, we were first introduced to the Star Wars world. And now, the latest movie to come out of the franchise takes place even longer ago. The new trailer for the highly anticipated Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is here, and based on what we're seeing, the force is definitely strong.
The film is set in a time before the first-ever film in the Star Wars saga, 1977's Star Wars: A New Hope. Felicity Jones stars as rebel Jyn Erso, the leader of a small team out to capture the Empire's biggest, most notorious weapon, the Death Star. And yes, that means Darth Vader is making a comeback (check out 2:05 in the trailer for a glimpse of the villain). Unlike past films, however, Rogue One is a standalone film, not a continuation of the story we know so well.
The official synopsis reads, "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."
The trailer begins with a flashback of young Jyn and her father, promising to protect her. We then fast forward to Jyn awakening in a jail cell, being broken out of said jail cell, and joining the rebel forces for an epic adventure full of the explosions and space flights we've come to expect from Star Wars. And just try not to get chills when Jyn tell her discouraged compatriots, "We have hope. Rebellions are built on hope."
Oh, and did we mention we're extra psyched that this film is the second Star Wars movie to feature a woman as the main protagonist?
Check out the full trailer, below:
Take a good long look; this is our final peek at Rogue One until the film hits theaters on Dec. 16.
