Rogue One: A Star Wars Story - Drop Everything & Watch The First Trailer

Who run the galaxy far far away? Girls!

The engines might only just have cooled down on the Millenium Falcon after its triumphant return to cinemas, but the Star Wars bandwagon rolls on, with a first trailer swooping in for new spin-off saga, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Set many years prior to the events of A New Hope, the new film will focus on Jyn, Felicity Jones’s badass renegade (“This is a rebellion? I rebel…), who is charged by the Rebel Alliance with the small matter of pinching the plans for the Death Star. And judging from the rap-sheet that apparently qualifies her for the task, she definitely sounds more Solo than Skywalker…

Check out the new trailer, below…

ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY Official Teaser Trailer

Lots to take in there, but we particularly enjoyed the lingering look at Ben Mendelsohn’s white-clad baddie, the oh-so-sinister black-suited Death Troopers and Donnie Yen kicking several shades out of a crowd of Stormtroopers.

Oh, and then there’s Jyn herself of course, who looks like the punchiest Star Wars hero since, well, Rey. Who run the galaxy far far away? Girls!

Disney

Directed by Gareth Edwards and co-starring Forrest Whitaker, Mads Mikklesen and Diego Luna, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will blast into cinemas worldwide on December 16 2016.

31 Daisy Ridley Facts Star Wars Fans Need To Know

  • Daisy’s full name is Daisy Jazz Isobel Ridley, but her “Star Wars name” (if we used her middle name, rather than her mum’s maiden name) would be Ridda Jazlo, which is pretty awesome.
    Getty Images
    1 of 32
  • She’s the youngest of five sisters, & they all watched Star Wars again after she was announced as the new lead.
    Getty Images

    3 of 32
  • She’s got a deaf and blind dog called Muffin. Awwwww!
    Getty Images
    4 of 32
  • Daisy previously popped up in the video for “Lights On” by Wiley (feat Angel & Tinchy Stryder), back in 2013.
    Getty Images
    5 of 32
  • And she was also in an episode of Casualty, which she says was more exciting than being in Star Wars.
    Getty Images
    6 of 32
  • You **would** have also seen her in 'The Inbetweeners 2,' had her scenes not been cut. Bet they feel silly now.
    Getty Images
    7 of 32
  • Daisy used to work in London pub, so we reckon she’d be right at home pulling space-pints in the infamous Mos Eisley cantina.
    Getty Images
    8 of 32
  • Her favourite film as a kid was 'Matilda,' because she wanted to “be a girl who could make a jug of water tip into a glass”. Maybe she’ll get to use some Jedi mind moves in Ep VIII?
    Getty Images
    9 of 32
  • The Force is fierce with this one: Daisy’s fave TV show is 'RuPaul’s Drag Race'.
    Getty Images
    10 of 32
  • For Halloween, she and her friends did ‘Drag or Die’, & she went as her favourite queen Trinity K. Bonet. Yasss, Daisy, yasss!
    Getty Images
    11 of 32
  • Her hidden talent is knitting; she makes really long scarves.
    Getty Images
    12 of 32
  • Daisy admits she’s not an “uberfan” of Star Wars, but she’s working on correcting her film knowledge.
    Getty Images
    13 of 32
  • However, her favourite character from the original films is Yoda.
    Getty Images
    14 of 32
  • Daisy had a “really weird feeling” which pushed her to audition for Rey; was it the Force? We bet it was the Force.
    Getty Images
    15 of 32
  • It was months before she could tell anyone she’d bagged her big role, so she’s good at keeping secrets too.
    Getty Images
    16 of 32
  • You’re more likely to find her “going to the gym on the bus” rather than the red carpet, just like us!
    Getty Images
    17 of 32
  • She’s super-fit, & trained up to five times a week in order to perform her own stunts. Just like us!
    Getty Images
    18 of 32
  • Princess Leia herself, Carrie Fisher, gave her dating tips & advice on avoiding crazy superfans.
    Getty Images
    19 of 32
  • The first thing she said to Harrison Ford (Han Solo) was, “My mum’s a fan.”
    Getty Images
    20 of 32
  • She was sent to a performing arts school because she was very naughty as a kid, and her mum thought it would keep her busy.
    Getty Images
    21 of 32
  • But according to Star Wars co-star John Boyega (Finn) she still went on to steal Harrison Ford’s golf-cart for a drive while they were filming, because she was “bored”.
    Getty Images
    22 of 32
  • She was cast straight from school to E4’s 'Youngers,' playing a student called Jessie.

    23 of 32
  • Acting is in the family: her great uncle was in 'Dad’s Army' (maybe ask your grandparents).
    Getty Images
    24 of 32
  • Her worst habit is singing; she lost a bet with J.J. Abrams that she couldn’t go a full day without bursting into song.
    Getty Images
    25 of 32
  • Luckily, according to her dad Daisy’s quite good at carrying a tune. Maybe she should audition for “The X-Wing Factor”? Sorrynotsorry.
    Getty Images
    26 of 32
  • You might have licked her face: Daisy appears on the new Royal Mail Star Wars postage stamps, along with droid BB-8.
    27 of 32
  • Director J.J Abrams told her off for talking to the BB-8 bot like a child, reminding her he’s actually a serious character. But he’s so cute!
    Getty Images
    28 of 32
  • She’s not a fan of Rey’s goggles. They’re good for the desert, but not hygiene, “There was a lot of dribble,” she says.
    Disney
    29 of 32
  • Rey apparently has a resting bitch-face; when Daisy had to be scanned so they could make all the new toys, she says Rey’s facial expression “tended to be a scowl.”
    Getty Images
    30 of 32
  • Her favourite piece of Ep VII merch is the bobblehead Rey, with its “Eyebrows on fleeeeeeeeek!”
    Getty Images
    31 of 32
  • She uses words like “fleeeeeek”, which make her doubly amazing.

    Instagram / @john_boyega

    Disney
    7 of 21
  • 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!
    Disney
    8 of 21
  • 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.
    Getty Images

  • 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

    Getty Images

  • 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!’>
