Here’s the first trailer for ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY.

Rogue One tells the story of resistance fighters who have united to steal plans to the dreaded Death Star. “Rogue One takes place before the events of Star Wars: A New Hope and will be a departure from the saga films but have elements that are familiar to the Star Wars universe,” said Kathleen Kennedy. “It goes into new territory, exploring the galactic struggle from a ground-war perspective while maintaining that essential Star Wars feel that fans have come to know. Gareth is such an innovative director and I’m so excited to be working with him and the extraordinary ensemble cast he’s selected for ‘Rogue One.’”

ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY hits theatres December 2016. Star Wars Epsiode VIII will follow in December 2017.
