First Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Clip Released

The first movie clip from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has been released! Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor battle it out in an action-packed scene with some enemy stormtoopers in close quarters.

Jyn Erso shows of her serious skills and Cassian takes the sidelines, just before she accidentally shoots an Imperial droid and K2-SO appears.

If this clip is any indication of how intense the movie will be, we are even more excited than we were before!

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story hits US theaters December 16, 2016. Directed by Gareth Edwards, it’s the first of the new standalone features from Lucasfilm and Disney, which take place outside the core “Skywalker Saga” of films noted by an Episode number. Rogue Onetells the story of the small band of rebels that were tasked with stealing the plans to the first Death Star. The story spins directly off the opening crawl from the original Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope. In that crawl, it read: “Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire’s ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet.”
