STAR WARS: ROGUE ONE — 78 Trailer Screenshots, Easter Eggs, and Things Missed
Last night, a new full trailer was released for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and it was incredibly awesome! I was completely overwhelmed with emotions when I was watching this trailer. It definitely choked me up a bit and gave me goosebumps. I just kept watching the trailer over and over again and the first thing I did when I woke up this morning was watch it again. Then of course, I had to watch it a few more times before I finally decided to buckle down and take some screenshots for this post.
Below, you'll find 78 screenshots from the trailer and I also include a great video breakdown of the trailer from Mr. Sunday Movies that points out 10 Easter eggs, references, and other things missed. One thing that no one missed, though, was the epic Darth Vader tease at the very end! Holy shit, I just exploded with excitement when that final shot in the trailer popped up. I can't wait to see him in action on the big screen again!
It looks like director Gareth Edwards did an amazing job bringing this story to life. I know a lot of people were freaking out when reports started surfacing that over half the film was going to be reshot, but this trailer should have put any of those fears to rest. Everything looks exactly as it should. Hell, I'm more excited about this film than I was about The Force Awakens!
All of the characters introduced in this trailer look great, but the one I'm most excited about is the blind rebel Chirrut Imwe, played by Donnie Yen. He clearly understands the Force and maybe even knows how to use it declaring "I fear nothing, all is as the Force wills it." He then proceeds to beat the hell out of a team of Stormtroopers with only his staff. I hope he has a decent-sized role in the movie.
Here's a synopsis that was recently released for the movie:
From Lucasfilm comes the first of the Star Wars standalone films, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, an all-new epic adventure. In a time of conflict, a group of unlikely heroes band together on a mission to steal the plans to the Death Star, the Empire’s ultimate weapon of destruction. This key event in the Star Wars timeline brings together ordinary people who choose to do extraordinary things, and in doing so, become part of something greater than themselves.
You can check out the video breakdown below in which the creator says, "This trailer brings us details on how the Death Star is powered, Planet Jedha, what kind of Darth Vader we’ll be getting, a handful of new characters and what the chances are of existing Star Wars characters returning such as Han Solo, Boba Fett, Obi Wan Kenobi, and more." Below that you'll find the trailer screenshots.
Rogue One also stars Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, Riz Ahmed, with Jiang Wen and Forest Whitaker. The movie is set to be released on December 16th and that date can't get here soon enough. What were your favorite parts of the trailer?
