Fans at last year’s Star Wars Celebration got sights on the teaser trailer for ROGUE ONE and now MovieWeb shared video of that clip. Although we’re still just about a year out from the release ROGUE ONE, the anticipation and excitement is already steadily growing… for us at least!
The teaser features a voiceover by Obi-Wan Kenobi when he’s explaining his history to Luke in A NEW HOPE. We get sights on a planet that appears to be Alderaan with a giant shape taking form in the sky above… the Death Star!
For more than a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times… before the Empire.
—Obi-Wan
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. It goes into new territory, exploring the galactic struggle from a ground-war perspective. It’s the first of many standalone Star Wars films to come under the House of Mouse.
ROGUE ONE opens in theaters December 16, 2016.
