"This is a rebellion, isn't it? I rebel." So are the words of Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) as she is enlisted by the Rebel Alliance to steal plans to the Empire's dreaded Death Star in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The highly-anticipated movie's teaser trailer was unveiled earlier this morning...with glimpses of the many characters, Rebel and Imperial alike, who will appear in Disney's first Star Wars spin-off film on December 16. Among these characters are Rebels played by Diego Luna, Donnie Yen and Wen Jiang, and an intimidating Imperial security officer played by The Dark Knight Rises' Ben Mendelsohn. Oscar winner Forest Whitaker portrays a bounty hunter (reportedly), while a droid voiced by Alan Tudyk can be seen running behind Jyn Erso in a few of the trailer shots.
The biggest surprise of this trailer is seeing Rebel Alliance leader Mon Mothma (whose only appearance on the big screen was in Return of the Jedi), who will be portrayed by Genevieve O'Reilly...who played this role in deleted scenes for Revenge of the Sith. Another welcome revelation is that AT-ATs are making an appearance in Rogue One. Judging by the shot of the giant Imperial walkers firing upon Rebels who run towards them, this movie is sure to inspire lots of people to begin playing Star Wars: Battlefront on Playstation 4s that they'll probably purchase after viewing this film. Or not. Anyways, check out these 20 screenshots and watch the trailer itself at the very bottom of this entry!
