The New Rogue One Trailer Will Leave You Death Starry-Eyed





THE LATEST TRAILER for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is here—and those of you who were hoping for a little more backstory finally get your wish. In the combat-packed, two-and-a-half-minute clip, we learn that Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) has been drafted into the Rebel cause partly because her long-missing father, Galen Erso (Mads Mikkelsen), was needed to help build the Death Star—a turn-of-events that will no doubt force Jyn to spend thousands of credits on therapy. The rest of the teaser delivers plenty of action, with X-wings tearing across the sky, AT-ATs stomping on the beach, and a briefly glimpsed Darth Vader, who, as usual, appears to be marching while miffed. We’ll have to wait until December 16 to fully go Rogue, but for now, we’ve got a good feeling about this.
Pause at: 1:43, when Jyn and pals appear to be disguising themselves as Imperial baddies in order to infiltrate the Death Star—a ploy that will feel oddly familiar to the Force faithful.

My imaginary emoji recap is appealing because it's incredibly hard to come away from a blockbuster hour of television like "Chapter Forty-Four" and pull together coherent thoughts that aren't just "AHHH!" or "WHY would you get ICE for the DAMN CHAMPAGNE?!" or "OMG FACE OFF MASK!" or "Why isn't all of life just Jane and Rogelio doing that father/daughter dance forever?" But I'll give it a try. Jane the Virgin 's season finale is a narrative fireworks display, a shock-and-awe storytelling spectacular that short-circuits emotional processing centers with blazing confidence. It drops j
