After treating us to a behind-the-scenes video just a few weeks ago, StarWars.com today dropped the official trailer for Rogue One. You can check it out below.
This is, quite simply, everything a trailer should be. Without giving away any hint of the actual narrative, this trailer firmly establishes the premise of the film and takes us on a whirlwind tour of its ensemble cast. We're also treated to some utterly gorgeous samples of cinematography from the film, including that phenomenal shot of the Death Star eclipsing a sun. My personal highlight, however, is the score. My breath was taken away by that moment when we hear the familiar notes of the Imperial March metamorphose into a swelling heroic theme for the first time - and I pray that this piece of music makes its way into the actual film.
