The final trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is suitably epic

Less than a month away.

Roll on December 15.

Christmas is less than a month away, but the most anticipated holiday of the calendar year is very much at the back of the minds of giddy Star Wars fans, whose focus is solely on events nine days before it.

We’ve already got a couple glimpses of what’s going to be in store when Rogue One: A Star Wars Story drops in cinemas (check them out here and here) and the final trailer has just ramped up the excitement levels even more.

Titled ‘Trust,’ the latest trailer focuses on the relationship between Jyn and K-2SO, but there’s plenty of spectacular action scenes and menacing shots of the Death Star in a thrilling 94-second snapshot of what will be one of the biggest movies of the year.

Plot’s it all about? Following the foundation of the Galactic Empire, a wayward band of Rebel fighters come together to carry out a desperate mission: to steal the plans for the Death Star before it can be used to enforce the Emperor’s rule.

Starring: Felicity Jones, Ben Mendelsohn, Forest Whitaker, Diego Luna, Mads Mikkelsen, Riz Ahmed

Directed by: Gareth Edwards

UK release date: December 15
