Like many people across the world, I am a HUGE fan of Star Wars. I have seen every movie multiple, with the exception of the most recent one; The Force Awakens. It is truly something special for me. I am extremely excited to see the next one to come out called Rogue One, which will be a spin-off that fills in some time between episodes III and IV. The second trailer for Rogue One came out and needless to say, I was flabbergasted, in a good way, by what I saw. The first trailer was awesome to me just off of the hype alone, but this trailer really got me.
Some details to know about Rogue One: It has some major actors in here such as Academy Award winner Forrest Whitaker, Mads Mikkelsen and James Earl Jones as he does his legendary voice-over for Darth Vader. John Williams, the iconic film scorer, is not doing the music for this film, making it the first Star Wars film he won't do the music for.
The second trailer itself came out two nights ago during the Olympics. I was fortunate enough to have gotten out of work before that and I saw it there. There was excellent effects and awesome new characters to observe and show how the events of this movie led up to episode IV. It fills in the blanks very nicely as there are 19 years that pass from the events of episode III to episode IV. The trailer also does not show a lightsaber wielded, which is a crazy concept, but is something I definitely look forward to seeing if they do have any lightsaber action within the movie. There is plenty of fighting though, whether it be by ship or by ground. It all revolves around the stealing of the Death Star's technical readout. It is definitely something there won't be a shortage of.
Overall, I thought the trailer was excellently done. I believe fully that this movie will tie together a lot of loose ends between the events of episodes III and IV. It is something I will absolutely be going to see this December.
