International ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ Trailer Shows Off More Footage!

If the the new trailer left you requiring a chest box to assist your breathing, then the international trailer won’t do anything for you.

The newest trailer for Gareth Edwards’ ‘Rogue One‘ dropped during the Olympics tonight and boy did it go for the gold. The new trailer opens with an eerily familiar theme that culminates to that final scene of the trailer showing us a glimpse of one films greatest villain in cinematic history, DARTH VADER. Whenever I re-watched the teaser and the trailers I got the same feeling of dread as when I first watched Saving Private Ryan, these guys are about go on a suicide mission and there is little to no hope that they will succeed. The Solar eclipse with the Death Star is just foreboding. In the international trailer they undid that and added back the more hopeful version of the soundtrack which in turn made the Vader reveal tacked on and less organic feeling.

The extra tidbit thrown randomly into the trailer is the reveal was that Jyn’s father is embedded as a spy somewhere himself and is sending messages to the Rebels. Another change was the addition of more brutal scenes and blood that were more than likely edited out for the Olympics.

My Donnie Yen infatuation is growing stronger, I didn’t get to see any new action scenes from him but his Force dialogue gave me goosebumps.  We also finally got to hear K-2So voiced by geek favorite Alan Tudyk, who will be giving C3PO a run for his money with the comedic ill timed statistical probabilities. For those who are reading the FANTASTIC Darth Vader comic, K-2SO just helped me give 0-0-0 a voice with his bit of scary politeness.

At this point I may have watched the trailer about 10 times. I am just loving everything about it and I am so excited to be getting a new ‘Star Wars’ every year for the foreseeable future. Also with the rumors of Donald Glover of being the front runner to portray young Lando Calrissian, it’s been a good week for ‘Star Wars’ fans.

‘Rogue One: A Star Wars’ Story arrives in theaters December 16, 2016.
