Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Trailer

The Galaxy is on the brink of a major war being won by dangerous rulers and only a few fighters stand between the Emperor and his unrelenting army which is constantly surging peaceful plants. The destruction and invasion of any planet who won't agree to the Empire's stringent regulations is all but destroyed.

Jyn Erso is one such rebel fighter who is willing to go to any lengths to fulfil her mission, often landing her in trouble with her seniors but her independent demeanour means that she might be a perfect candidate for an imperative mission - the failure of which could mean the end of the galaxy as its citizens know.

Jyn and a small team of fellow rebels must steal plans for the Emperor's newest and deadliest weapon, The Death Star.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is a sub-story that precedes the story from the 1977 Star Wars film A New Hope. The original film touches on the story of the rebel fighters and their mission and whilst it vaguely gives away the ending, the characters storylines and the overall plot has been crafted by John Knoll and Gary Whitta with director Gareth Edwards.
