Must Watch: Third Trailer Launches for 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story'

"This is our chance to make a real difference." Disney + LucasFilm have launched the third official trailer for the first Star Wars spin-off movie - Rogue One: A Star Wars Story directed by Gareth Edwards. This is potentially the last trailer we'll see before release in December. Following the first two trailers, this one contains even more VFX-packed footage and more time with the various characters, including the droid K-2SO. Starring Felicity Jones as Jyn Erso, plus Mads Mikkelsen, Donnie Yen, Ben Mendelsohn, Forest Whitaker, Diego Luna, Jonathan Aris, Riz Ahmed & Alan Tudyk, Rogue One is about a group of rebels who set out on a mission to steal the plans for the Death Star. I'm glad they're still not giving away too much in the footage, but are giving us even more to get excited about. Only two months left to go!

Here's the third trailer for Gareth Edwards' Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, direct from YouTube:

You can watch the first teaser trailer for Rogue One here, and the second trailer here to compare footage.

Another poster for Rogue One has arrived with the trailer + a talk with Edwards on The Star Wars Show:

Jyn Erso, a Rebellion soldier and criminal, will face her biggest challenge yet when Mon Mothma sets her out on a mission to steal the plans for the Death Star with help from the Rebels and other non-allied forces.

"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," says Kathleen Kennedy. Rogue One tells the story of resistance fighters who have united to steal plans to the dreaded Death Star. It's being directed by English filmmaker Gareth Edwards, of the movies Monsters and Godzilla previously. The screenplay is credited to Chris Weitz (About a Boy, The Golden Compass, Cinderella) based on a story by John Knoll and Gary Whitta. Disney will release Gareth Edwards' Rogue One: A Star Wars Story in theaters everywhere starting December 16th, 2016 this year. For even more Star Wars updates, click here. You in?
