Brace Yourselves! A 3 Minute Trailer for STAR WARS: ROGUE ONE Is Coming Next Week
UPDATE:
Lucas Film didn't release a new trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story with the ABC special. They must have thought the reel released earlier today during Star Wars Celebration was enough so far. Current speculation by many is the trailer will drop next week during San Diego Comic-Con. Original post continues below.
Next Week during a Star Wars special on ABC called Secrets of The Force Awakens: A Cinematic Journey, Lucasfilm will premiere a brand new three minute trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story! We knew a new trailer would be coming soon because Star Wars Celebration in London is scheduled to take place next week from July 15th to the 17th, and I imagine the trailer will be released online shortly before it will premiere on ABC, which is set for July 15th at 8 PM EST time.
There is sure to be a lot of stuff being shown to fans at the event, and one of the other things that I hope comes out of it is the title of Star Wars: Episode VIII. Rogue One is going to be the main event at the celebration this year, but I can’t help but think that maybe, just maybe, Lucasfilm and director Rian Johnson will surprise fans with a first look at Episode VIII. The film is almost finished shooting so there’s plenty of footage to show off if they want to.
I can’t wait to see what this next trailer for Rogue One has in store for us! I’m crazy excited about this movie, and so far everything that has been officially released has looked awesome! The opening crawl from Star Wars: A New Hope is what inspired this new adventures. It reads:
"It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet.”
Rogue One will tell the story of those Rebel spies. The movie is set for release on December 16th, 2016.
