Star Wars fans have been waiting MONTHS for a new look at prequel adventure Rogue One, but now the wait is over, with the release of a brand new full-length trailer! And guess what? It’s absolute FIRE.

Disney

The new trailer kicks off with an eerie, piano-led version of the Imperial march, as Forest Whitaker gravely explains that the forces of the Empire are massing across the galaxy. The scene is thus set for Felicity Jones’ outlaw heroine, who is tasked by the Rebel Alliance with stealing the plans for the as yet unbuilt Death Star. However, Ben Mendelsohn’s villain won’t be too keen to give them up, and neither will the shadowy figure glimpsed at the very end of the trailer…  

Check out the new trailer, below…

Yep, that’s Vader alright, who will apparently play a small *but significant* role in the new film. Not that it looks like we’ll be struggling for goosebump moments, with some truly breathtaking action on show here. Jones facing down a TIE Fighter armed with just a blaster? Yes please…

Directed by Gareth Edwards and co-starring Diego Luna, Riz Ahmed and Mads Mikkelsen, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will open in the UK on 16 December 2016.

  • JJ Abrams handpicked him for the role of Finn after seeing John in 'Attack The Block'. But we like to think it was because of his high midichlorian count.

  • He had the perfect response for idiots who questioned his casting, posting on Instagram, “To whom it may concern…get used to it.” SLAY.

  • Reading the script for TFA got him in touch with his emotions, “When I read the script I cried, and I’m not really a big crier.” May we offer up a shoulder?
    Disney

  • But he lied to JJ when waiting to hear if he got the part, pretending he was hanging out in an art gallery rather waiting at home!

  • If you were at the 2015 San Diego Comic Con, you might have brushed up against John, who admitted he wandered around the event disguised as a Stormtrooper. We just had a proper nerdgasm.

  • As well as being a big Star Wars fan, JB is also a Marvel comic nerd and was keen to play Black Panther. Dear Disney: please make Finn an Avenger ASAP kthanksbye

  • He had to be physically prised away from Chewbacca when on the TFA set, “I stroked that Wookie all the time…I just wanted to give him cuddles”

  • He also does a pretty epic Chewie impression, which he’s been working on for 16 years. ROOOOAARRRRGGGGH!

  • His mentor is Iron Man. Really. Robert Downey Jr regularly gives him advice

  • Oh, and did we mention his best mate is Han Solo, AKA Harrison Ford? We have serious squad envy rn.

  • He’s a Stormtrooper of style, wearing a custom made purple Versace suit at the LA premiere of The Force Awakens. BUT DAT PURPLE GLOVE, THO

  • Before Star Wars, John was cast as a young boxer in a Spike Lee pilot called 'Da Brick', but it never got picked up. Are they mad?

  • The strangest gift he’s been sent by a fan was a cap with “Samurai” in Japanese written across it. He’s not said anything about the Beanie Babies we’ve been sending for over a year, though ☹
    Disney

  • You’ll see him again later on this year as a tech guru in The Circle, alongside Emma Watson, who he says is “Frickin’ amazing”, like we didn’t know that already.

  • And what about those Finn and Poe romance rumours? Sadly, according to John it’s “all in Oscar’s (Isaacs) head” <Darth Vader-style ‘Nooooooooooo!’>
