If you haven’t watched the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story “Celebration Reel” from the 2016 Star Wars Celebration in London then scroll back up, it should be autoplaying right… about… oh, it’s already ten seconds in, scroll back to the beginning, quick!
While it wasn’t exactly the full Rogue One Trailer 2 we were all dreaming of, the behind the scenes footage has soooo much to offer. Plus, it looks like Disney used it as convenient cover, while they screened a new trailer-like product to the assembled audience at Celebration. When the live feed cut to their third replay of the Celebration Reel (again, above), the 4,000 people in attendance were treated to some sort of teaser trailer.
Here’s what we know, thanks to a description posted at Birth.Movies.Death.
The new Rogue One teaser opens on a young Jyn Erso, running as an Imperial shuttle takes off behind her. We cut from there to Felicity Jones as the adult Jyn Erso. The teaser offers up quick slices of action, particularly in the Jedah market (the Mos Eisley-looking place we see in the first trailer).
There’s glimpses of combat, plenty of explosions and Director Krennic (the bad guy, who’s in charge of the Death Star project).
This is the one line of dialogue over the quick cuts Star Wars Story teaser: “Every day we get weaker, and they get stronger. This our chance to make a difference.”
It all ends on Darth Vader breathing. We see him silhouetted in red light, standing in some sort of war room.
While this new Rogue One: A Star Wars Story teaser trailer has yet to pop up anywhere online, it’s a safe bet someone will leak it. And while this year’s Star Wars Celebration in London didn’t give us a new trailer, you can be certain that a lot of this footage will eventually pop up in the inevitable second trailer release for Rogue One .
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is out in theaters on Dec. 16.
