‘Star Wars’ Alert: The ‘Rogue One’ Trailer Is Here

The first teaser trailer for Rogue One — this year’s Star Wars film, slated for release in December — has arrived.

The movie, set between the end of the prequels and the beginning of the original series, is the first stand-alone film in the franchise and centers on the rebel fighters on a mission to steal the plans for the Death Star.

The trailer shows us Felicity Jones as a defiant fighter with a knack for aggravating authorities — a perfect fit for a rebellion, as far as she can see. There’s also a young Mon Mothma, Donnie Yen smacking around a Stormtrooper, Forest Whitaker whispering very intensely, and some high-drama cape action.
