UPDATE! Second Teaser for The Rogue One Trailer Released!
Yes, it is happening! We get another teaser for the Rogue One trailer that will be released later today. Check out the new footage after the jump…
The campaign to make the new Star Wars stand-alone film known to the general audience is starting to gain traction. In this new teaser we see new footage of the bad guys and the good guys. Check it out:
And one more NEW FOOTAGE tease of tonight’s #RogueOne trailer. Yeah, this doesn’t sound like the SWCE teaser… https://t.co/IKT4bIFTKe
— TrailerTrack (@trailertrack) August 11, 2016
The only new shot from this teaser is what appears to be the moon Jedha seen from space. We also see Director Krenic with his crew.
And here we have a streamable link:
UPDATE!
Something worth mentioning. From the BTS Rogue One footage that was showed at Celebration we caught a glimpse of the Death Star orbiting above Scarif:
And that’s definitely a Death Star bridge. Here’s an image from A New Hope for comparison:
So it’s really curious to see that the Death Star is also above Jedha. We know that the construction of the Death Star is happening over Scarif, but why is it over Jedha as well?  Perhaps the two planets are just galactic neighbors? It’s also possible that the Death Star is already mobile to some degree and has traveled from Scarif to Jedha for some reason.
Why would the Empire go to the trouble of sending their newly minted space station into orbit over the frozen desert planet? We know that the weapon system will not be online until ANH at the destruction of Alderaan, so there has to be some motive other than world annihilation. Maybe they’re after another one of those giant kyber crystals to power the superlaser like they found on Utapau during the Clone Wars. What do you think?
The kyber crystal theory also matches with what Donnie Yen said in an interview during Celebration that we shared with you 3 weeks ago. Here it is again:

I hate teasers.
HA! I predict that screen cap of Jyn at the bottom is going to be the source of some tasty memes.
If that’s Jedah, they’re apparently watching it from the Death Star’s command deck. What the fuck does it mean?
Maybe it means that it’s going to be blown up by the Death Star. I guess Alderaan was not the first ever target.
I think they need one of those Kyber Crystals to power to weapon. Blowing up another planet than Alderon would be a mistake.
It depends on how it’s done. It would have to be done in a way that no one outside of the Empire knows about it.
An entire planet destroyed and nobody knows about it? A stretch.
Depends on how close this is to Ep IV. If this takes place the day before, it’s not that much of a stretch. Especially if the Empire blockades all incoming ships and scrambles communications in and out.
Also depends on how inhabited the planet is. As an example. If a small village in the Amazon went up in flames, how long would it be before you knew about it? If ever?
Tarkin states that line to Leia ” I would like you to be a guest at a ceremony that will make this battle station operational. No star system will oppose the Emperor now” That implies that the laser has never been fired before. It’s not completely out of the realm of possibilities, but its highly unlikely unless they want to directly contradict the original movie.
Unless he was smuggly doing it, as he called her a guest at her own home planet’s demise.
But there’s still wiggle room. Alderaan could be the first “official” destruction of a planet. I’m sure they tested it on uninhabited moons or something before.
I guess but why would they show that in a movie?
They don’t have to. I’m just saying that they could and it wouldn’t necessarily be continuity-breaking.
In Legends, they blew up a couple of different planets before Alderaan.
One thought that came to my mind is that there could have been smaller targets – smaller weapons tests. With a weapon as powerful as the Death Star, you wouldn’t need to totally blow up a planet to wipe all life off its surface, or take out a specific target. Frying vast swaths of land from orbit would do the trick. Or test it on a moon…
It means they’re standing there looking out the window! 😉
And I’m loving the big sideburns on many of them!
Lol, a teaser for the trailer? That’s like something from South Park.. c’mon.
Why not also have a preview for the teaser?
And maybe some production pictures from the preview.
And add the synopsis for the production pictures.
no, you’re wrong. This is the second teaser for the second teaser for the trailer for Rogue One 🙂
any of these will make us run for the internet. It’s us, not them
Because they’re trying to create interest in the movie by making the premier of the trailer an event? The marketing department at Disney has a pretty good grasp on how to market a movie.
Comes to SWNN for new Star Wars content…complains about new Star Wars content. The internet needs to stop whining over every dang thing and just enjoy the ride FFS.
JUST RELEASE IT ALREADY!
Kylo Ren looks badass! I don’t know why they had to recast Fin with Forrest Whitaker?!?
Oh shut up please
What your problem homes?
You are trolling right now.
I don’t know what your talking about! Do you like poe’s Moustache though? I bet he get all the ladies with that thing!
Go ahead, make the mods’ day.

Clearly the teaser is working. One look at the comments and you’ll see all the reactions that teasing would elicit. Excitement; frustration; anger; anticipation; mocking; etc. Am I right?
does anyone know the exact time its happening and what time zone
soon
We know for sure that it won’t air earlier than 7 pm EST. My personal guess is around 10 pm EST.
I also hope they throw it online around the same time they show it on television, I’m probably going to be re-watching it a lot
I’m willing to bet all I’ve got that they will. If they could do it immediately after TFA trailer on a monday night football game, they can and definitely will for this. Love the feeling of a new trailer. Already getting the chills before the chills of watching it lol.
You got a chills teaser for the full chills later 😛
Any idea what time the actual trailer comes out?
Sometime between 7-10p EST
Right on
Ugh. Means us UK folk are going to have to wait until Saturday morning to see it, then. Bugger. :/
Friday morning, no ?
Did…. did I just scroll past banner ad…. to watch a 30 second ad…. so that I can load a 15 second teaser ad…. to prepare me for a 3 minute trailer ad?
And then spent a minute posting about the 15 second ad and accompanying ads… 🙂
It’s true, all of it
And don’t you feel ashamed now?
for a movie that exists to sell toys
I think I may just wait for it online. That or DVR a section of the games. Yes that’s how much I don’t want to sit there and watch the Olympics 😛
Hmm, I feel like I should just watch it online so I can record my reaction to the trailer. If I am watching it on the TV with my fam, I’d have to hold back my nerdy excitement.
It’s not Jedha for sure but it does look like it. I hope they don’t blow it up as I’d like Alderaan to stand as the initial use of the weapon but I could understand they might want to underline the threat within the context of this movie.
The hype is back
Consider us teased
“a” Death Star bridge? Is there more than one?
I think he meant shield
According to the old technical manuals, yes, although who knows if anything in there is still valid. Each city had its own bridge, with a single overbridge coordinating all the city blocks.
Interesting. I didn’t even know there was an old technical manual! I wonder if there’s a scan of it online somewhere.
West End Games put it out as part of their first generation of SW roleplaying. “Death Star Technical Companion” if you’re going to look for it.
Just found it just by Googling!

Please, please..PLEASE lets see more Vader tonight. I can hardly wait….
Anyone else notice the sideburns? I’m loving that on most of those Imperials! They really thought this movie through.
i love that. such a blast from the past, yet totally accurate.
Oh, totally – Seeing that group of officers in the first pic made me do a double take to make sure that really was something new. So, so cool.
Gareth Edwards is good at visuals and cinematography but he shouldn’t be allowed to direct. And by the way, what happened to “I rebel”?
Branching out from the Force Awakens trolling are we?
Interesting.
I try to stay on topic
As long as the topic is either “I hate TFA” or “Girls have cooties”.
Can we at least see the movie before we throw him under the bus?
I will admit that I feel the same way about him. I’m not going to judge Rogue One Until I see it…Because he IS after all being micro managed like a mofo…you know he is…lol.( which is a good thing) But I do admit that I am nervous…I think Godzilla was one of the biggest pieces of garbage I have ever seen, story wise anyway….Godzilla looked awesome…but the story was just terrible and so was the script and the edit. The Visuals were outstanding. I don’t understand why anyone even liked the movie and praised him for it…The trailers for Godzillla were badass….bout it
Maybe it was imperial app to move it from time to time to make sure it remains a secret
Is that Tarkin near the front of the group of Imperials looking out of the Death Star? Who played him in III?
Unless his hair goes white overnight due to the events of Rogue One, I don’t think it is.
There is no way that was Tarkin.. Hearing people saying that since celebration ( even the guys from Jedi COuncil) has always confused me….because the guy is too young and has too much hair. Tarkin is an old man in Episode 4..balding, grey haired and wrinkled….the end of this movie ends minutes before the beginning of Episode 4…Its story is based on the opening Crawl text. Peter Cushing was 64 years old when Star Wars was released.
But again, we DO know there are at least two time periods at play in this film, don’t we? We’ve got young Jyn in at least one shot, and I thought Maaaaads had confirmed flashbacks.
Well we don’t know exactly when that scene is for…….so maybe its Tarkin in the bacta tank healing from an assassination attempt…….or it could be a shot before cgi is used to make him older. He’s got the same facial structure and hairline.
Do you guys think that we will see any OT or PT bounty hunter cameos in Rogue One? Boba Fett? IG-88? Cad Bane?
I don’t actually. I think Vader is probably the only famous character aside from Mon Mothma and possibly Ackbar.
I really feel they are carefully debating what to do with Fett. Is he full on movie worthy? Do they dare? He seems ripe for it. A bit of repairs needed since the PT… but then you also have the fears of making it worst. He’s still ridiculously popular…
I still love the concept of him being in a Man with no name type of story. No connection to the greater saga. Just an off shoot… Fett being Fett. Maybe dig a little into his own story. Sparingly. Wow… I rambled on. Sorry.
Guess you forgot Bail Organa already.
Yeah… I did. I don’t really consider them to be major players. Funny that I consider Fett to be… given the respective screen times lol.
Don’t consider the Leader of the Rebel Alliance a major player but you would consider Mon Mothma ( a person who serves under him) to be?? LOL yeah oooooooooooo k. You are puzzled by your consideration of fett because of his screen time? lol Bail Organa has had more screen time than Fett,Mon Mothma AND Ackbar combined…even if you add the Young Boba scenes from AOTC in the mix…
I think you are taking a very casual comment to seriously. He’s a major player plot wise in the background. Not so much the foreground of the series. I mean come on man… no one has Bail in their top 10. Where Boba Fett normally lives. Also my comment on time spent on screen was exactly what you just explained. I was poking fun at the absurdity of me picking Fett over them because of actually how limited he’s been on.
Oooooooo k?
I would say it’s a safe bet we see Grand Moff Tarkin and possibly the Emperor briefly in this , I also thought I read R2-D2 and 3PO were in it?
Not sure about bounty hunters, but heard a rumour that Leia has a cameo.
Cad Bane? UGh God I hope not.
director krennic needs to get his cape dry cleaned.
or at least to put a restraining bolt on his ironing droid
I rebel.
I want it now. Considering my time zone. Who can go to sleep like this?
I can. It’s only a movie and it will be there as soon as I wake up. 🙂
Yep. (Probably a good movie by the way) 😛 i was trying to use my poor sense of humor. It will be a great wake up 😉
“Perhaps the two planets are just galactic neighbors?”
.
Nope, it’s just that physics changed between Jedi and TFA and now you can see everything from anywhere. 🙂
Isn’t that obvious?
I think JJ figured it never bothered anyone in Firefly so…
Did they do it in FF? I only watched that show through once, a few years back. Didn’t really connect for me.
It had some rather dubious stuff going on like it was supposedly all set in one solar system with a whole bunch of habitable planets like there was no such thing as a goldilocks zone. Nothing as egregious as being able to see an explosion from 30,000ly away.
Maybe Jedha is the moon orbiting around Scarif ?
Because the Star wars franchise has always been accurate to real-life physics. Please inform me when humanity reaches the ability move ships faster than the speed of light.
Oh come on, TUD, you KNOW that was a stretch, even for this franchise.
Black holes, bro. Black holes. Read the book.
Nope, aint gonna do it. I’ve been very clear I refuse to let the movie get away with that “Oh, it makes perfect sense..but you godda havea the codebook.”

Thanks, LFL, but I’m getting a fine tootsie frootsieing right here.
>wants to argue about physics in a sci-fi book
>doesn’t want to listen when the physics are explained
K.
They’ve actually offered their canon explanation for why that event occurred as it did. I’ve discussed it with CrankyMcComplainface. He won’t ever be satisfied bro, and you know it. Don’t bother 😛 Just enjoy the films and starve the Trolls.
They did? It was the dumbest thing in TFA which on the whole I liked.
They did. Google it. It may still not float your boat, but it has to do with how the Starkiller weapon works.
Yeah, not really a great explanation. I don’t expect (or want) Star Wars to come close to hard sci-fi but there’s such a thing as suspension of disbelief. I can buy the weapon firing through hyperspace but the explosion? Come on. It doesn’t kill the movie for me but it does bother me a little every time I watch it.
So, when ? i live in france and i have no clue at the time the trailer is going out. Should i stay awake or should i go sleep ?
It’s a trailer. Go to bed for chrissakes – it’ll be there in the morning.
Okay i ll go in 10 mins. see u tomorrow to discussit. lol
will see see vader? personally, i hope we just hear some breathing or see a cape or something. i don’t want to see him in full form until the time comes in the film!
As much as I would like to leave Vader for the big screen, I think it’s important general audiences see them so they know for sure this isn’t Episode 8.
yeah that’s fair but i hope they don’t show any crucial moments. just a quick shot of him.
Will love to hear about the ratings jump (if there is one) of Olympic coverage tonight.
Spoiler alert: Simone wins gold, Raismam wins Silver in the All-Around (we were all gonna watch anyway, c’mon)
great britain just won gold in indoor cycling in team; 2nd NZ, 3rd France
You jerk. Some people may actually be
watching to find out what happens even though it was over earlier today.
who else is staying up until the trailer is released?
4-7pm my time, so yeah, I think I can manage it.
lucky you, it’s 11pm where I live
It’s 11pm where I’m from but 3pm where I live now.
It’s sunny too 😛
i wanted, but i changed my mind. too much tired. maybe i ll see it while watching JO
Why must we watch sports for these things?
I tried… I couldn’t make it. I just DVRed and turned it off.
so, any time now, right?
NBC is deliberately trolling us i think.
this is fuckery, I’ve heard four different times and they’ve all passed, why not just tell us when its airing so we can all adjust our schedule accordingly and not have to sweat on our laptops all day
It’s a trailer. Even if it doesn’t come out tonight, the sun will still come up in the morning. Settle down, Beavis.
Tell that to Alderaan.
we need to send some bothans to steal this trailer.
You’re just trolling now!
I say patience.
This Michael Phelps interview/story that they are showing right now is so very, very where the hell is the rogue one trailer.
star wars trailer > 21 gold medals. 😉
“the trailer better end with vader naked at this rate!” – tweet of the day.
I feel like they are letting the forum mods from the Battlefraud site decide when we see this thing
You know, I *was* going to give this trailer a Gold.
But this is taking so long, they’ll be lucky to get a Bronze!
That was beautiful. Did anyone else see it? All those stars, and the war. Oh my, those wars!
… although the Rogue looked kinda scruffy.
Who’s scruffy lookin’?
https://youtu.be/42mIUSMtaJI
Laugh it up, fuzzball. But you didn’t see daveolden in the south passage. Where he/she expressed his/her true feelings for Rogue One.
The trailer dropped at about 7:45pm Pacific Time, just moments after my comments here.
I headed out into the South Passage and Screamed “WOOOOO YESSS!”
Then sat down again.
I was telling a friend (and fellow SW fan), “There’s a good chance I may like this better than TFA!”
And I loved TFA.
This is like waiting for the Death Star to be in firing range. I truly sympathize with Tarkin now.
Jyn vs. TIE ? Who will win?
I do not believe that scene is about a confrontation.
I believe that TIE has been *stolen*
And, since it’s being piloted by a member of Jyn’s little squad, that’s why she’s so willing to walk TOWARD IT.

FINALLY! Just up on @starwars twitter feed
That was… awesome. It may be the best dang Star Wars film yet. At least if it lives up to that trailer.
Starting to think maybe the non-saga films will be the real gems. Yes I know… to early to call that now.
Police call you and you’re all like… We’re fine. We’re all fine here now, thank you. How are you? 😛
