TRAILER: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

Via ABC News:

The first teaser trailer of “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” just debuted this morning on “GMA” and the film looks to be a character-driven story, featuring the usual “Star Wars” action you know and love. “Rogue One” is a brand new “Star Wars” movie set just before 1977’s iconic “A New Hope.” The plot focuses on a group of rebel heroes coming together on a mission to steal the plans for the Death Star featured in the very first “Star Wars” classic.

This highly-anticipated standalone film will be directed by Gareth Edwards and stars Oscar-nominee Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Riz Ahmed and Oscar-winner Forrest Whitaker. Right at the onset of the clip, iconography from “A New Hope” and the original trilogy can be seen — like the white hats for the Rebel fighters and the Rebel base. There’s also that slow shot to reveal the Death Star!
