Watch the First Rogue One Footage with a Trailer Tease!

Check out the very first Rogue One footage in the below teaser for tomorrow’s trailer

You don’t have to wait much longer to head back to a galaxy far, far away. Walt Disney Pictures and Lucasfilm Ltd. have just announced that the first Rogue One trailer will debut tomorrow morning on “Good Morning America.” Check back here to watch it and, in the meantime, check out the below tease, which offers the first Rogue One footage (outside of last year’s D23 tease).

Felicity Jones (The Theory of Everything) leads the cast of the film and is joined by Diego Luna (Milk, Killing Them Softly), Ben Mendelsohn (“Bloodline,” Mississippi Grind), Donnie Yen (Ip Man, Blade II), Jiang Wen (Let the Bullets Fly, Devils on the Doorstep), Forest Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland), Mads Mikkelsen (“Hannibal,” Casino Royale), Alan Tudyk (“Firefly”) who plays a performance-capture character in the film, and Riz Ahmed (Nightcrawler, Four Lions).

“Rogue One takes place before the events of Star Wars: A New Hope and will be a departure from the saga films but have elements that are familiar to the Star Wars universe,” said Kathleen Kennedy. “It goes into new territory, exploring the galactic struggle from a ground-war perspective while maintaining that essential Star Wars feel that fans have come to know. Gareth is such an innovative director and I’m so excited to be working with him and the extraordinary ensemble cast he’s selected for ‘Rogue One.’”

John Knoll, the Academy Award-winning visual effects supervisor who currently serves as chief creative officer at Industrial Light & Magic, is executive producing the film along with Simon Emanuel (The Dark Knight RisesFast & Furious 6) and Jason McGatlin (Tintin, War of the Worlds). Kathleen Kennedy and Tony To (“Band of Brothers,” “The Pacific”) are on board to produce with John Swartz (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) attached to co-produce. It was also recently confirmed that Alexandre Desplat (The Grand Budapest HotelThe King’s Speech) will be providing the score.

Directed by Gareth Edwards, Rogue One is set for release on December 16, 2016.
