If you’re like us, you’re probably still buzzing with excitement over the final Rogue One trailer that was released this morning. Director Gareth Edwards truly has put together a beautiful masterpiece filled with old and new faces to the Star Wars saga, set to the dark and menacing undertone of war between the Rebel Alliance and the Empire.
We’ve compiled just a few of the most striking shots from the newest and final Rogue One trailer, in hopes that we can better understand the film, by the time it hits theaters on December 16.
First up, we have Mads Mikkelsen’s character, Galen Erso, as he watches Director Orson Krennic (Ben Mendelsohn) and his squad of Death Troopers approach.

Next, we have a fallen Jedi statue on the planet Jedha. The planet was once sacred to the Jedi, so it makes sense for there to be a Jedi temple there.

Here’s a gorgeous shot of the Death Star in the clouds of what we are assuming is the planet Scarif.
