On Thursday, Disney and Lucasfilm released a new “Rogue One” movie trailer that put all our worries on hold. [Former Galactic Senator] Mon Mothma (Genevieve O’Reilly) is ultimately, for Jyn, someone she looks up to.
“The Theory of Everything” actress Felicity Jones plays feisty lead character Jyn Erso, whose rebellious streak was first shown in a trailer released in April. “The world is coming undone”, he says.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is due to hit theatres on December 16 in both the United States and United Kingdom, while our Aussie pals will get the film a day earlier for some reason.
The movie will be the newest “Star Wars” movie after last December’s “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”, which was the first “Star Wars” film in a decade. In the Celebration snippets, we saw Jyn Erso as a young girl in the aftermath of what may have been an attack on her homeworld.
