“Star Wars” fans got a fresh teaser of the franchise’s upcoming “Rogue One” film with a new trailer showing the return of ultimate villain Darth Vader.
The other Jones – Felicity – who was an Oscar nominee for her role opposite Eddie Redmayne in The Theory Of Everything (2014), plays rebel Jyn Erso, who has notched up convictions for forgery, assault and theft.
What is more, it has been revealed by director Gareth Edwards that one of the new planets in the movie is a Jedi holy land called Jedha.
Three days ago the new trailer for Star Wars: Rogue One was released to the general public to critical acclaim both for and against. Also, in the filming we will see the best performances of: Riz Ahmed, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Forest Whitaker, among others. However, the latest trailer continues to make this look like it could be awesome.
And then of course there’s the Death Star. Even casual Star Wars fans know that the success of this mission ultimately leads to the destruction of that weapon by one Luke Skywalker, but before that can happen, the Rebel Alliance has to locate some heroes brassy enough to steal those plans in the first place. Rogue One is executive produced by John Knoll and Jason McGatlin, and co-produced by John Swartz and Kiri Hart.
Since publishing on August 11th, the “Rogue One” trailer has received over 6 million views on YouTube alone (within about a 24-hour period).
As previously mentioned, I doubt Vader will have much time on screen at all. The report further states that Jyn was chosen likely due to the fact she is the daughter of Galen Erso (Mads Mikkelsen) who is described as a scientist working with the Death Star construction.

Kylo has a particularly strong reaction to the appearance of his grandfather, Darth Vader. Sounds a bit odd as the Force is presumably all around us regardless of what planet we stand on (according to Yoda). He’s the new droid who’s been reprogrammed by Cassian so that he’s no longer controlled by the Empire. It would seem this is the climactic battle of the movie-the recent behind-the-scenes footage we saw apparently showed Jyn running with what looked like the Death Star plans. “Where can I find a stick?”
