According to Jordan Maison, the Editor in Chief over at Cinelinx, Disney/Lucasfilm are close to releasing a trailer for the new Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The only thing we don't know is which one we'll see first.
Maison tweeted that there are at least two or three different trailers that have been put together, and Disney is just trying to decide what tone they want the first one to take. The movie looks much darker than anything that we've seen in a Star Wars movie so far, and the trailer looks to take on that same tone.
The movie itself has been described as a "war movie" and a "heist film." It will follow a group of X-Wing pilots that are sent on a mission to steal the plans for the Death Star. It takes place in between Revnge of the Sith and A New Hope. Don't expect many of the fighter pilots to survive, though. As we know from the speech that was given in A New Hope, most of them die while stealing the plans. It's also rumored that Darth Vader will have a much larger role in the film, and will be a lot more evil. I mean a lot more evil, if the reports are true. Here's some of what the article that I read by David Harris had to say:
"Reports from storyboards for some of Vader's battle scenes have the Sith Lord decapitating bodies, dismembering his foes by throwing his lightsaber at them, and levitating bodies up to make himself meat shields...Rogue One is setting up to be a Star Wars film like none we've ever seen before."
"Meat shields"? That has to be one of the best descriptions I've ever seen written!
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story comes out December 16, 2016.
