#TRAILERCHEST: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has a new trailer and it’s absolutely sublime

Paul Moore

The Empire Strikes Back…and how!

Very few upcoming films have us as excited quite like the latest installment from that galaxy that’s far, far away but Rogue One: A Star Wars Story promises to be very different from the episodes that we’ve all come to love so much.

This is a time of war as the Galactic Empire have begun to tighten their grip on every star system and planet that’s spread across the galaxy. In this dark time, who dares to stand up to the Emperor, Director Krennic and a certain Sith Lord?

Our excitement went into overdrive after being granted an exclusive sneak peek a few weeks ago and it has only been raised after this stellar trailer.

Plot’s it all about?: Following the foundation of the Galactic Empire, a wayward band of Rebel fighters come together to carry out a desperate mission: to steal the plans for the Death Star before it can be used to enforce the Emperor’s rule.

Directed by: Gareth Edwards.

Starring: Felicity Jones, Ben Mendelsohn, Forest Whitaker, Diego Luna, Mads Mikkelsen, Riz Ahmed and many more.

Irish and UK release date: December 16th.

Enjoy.
