After a long wait following Disney's promise, here it is! The new trailer for Rogue One – A Star Wars Story has been unveiled and the least we can say is that it is not stingy with promises.
Broadcast tonight during the Rio Olympics, this trailer was eagerly awaited by fans of the saga. And for good reason: a promise had been made that Darth Vader would appear there. And it is! Stealthily certainly, but what better as a promotional video than a trailer showing little but promising a lot.Thus, we can see the Dark Lord of the Sith from behind, contemplating what appears to be a war map. This suggests that a clash between Darth Vader and the rebels will indeed take place during this first Spin-Off of the Star Wars license. Let's hope now that this face-to-face with the Dark Lord is as brutal as expected, since many rumors today report a Darth Vader more violent than ever.
Beyond the appearance of the Sith, a new approach to the characters already presented has been made. We find a Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) more hothead and cynical than in the first trailer, as well as her no less cynical partner: Captain Casian Andor (Diego Luna).Martial arts expert Donnie Yen is also not to be outdone since shown as wise and formidable as a great Jedi master through the character of Chirrut Imwe. Finally, Forest Whitaker seems to be perfect in his role as an old soldier desperate to bring down the empire he has seen emerge. Recall that Whitaker plays the role of Saw Gerrega, a character already pre-existing since presented in several episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.But if the characters are very well presented by this trailer, the show is offered to us by the atmosphere! Director Gareth Edwards and his team seem to have done an incredible job on the sets, on the war film aspect, and especially on the proportions. Whether it's the landscapes, the Star-Destroyers but especially the Death Star : everything is marked by excess! The Star-Destroyers seem ready to leave our screens to arrive at us and never has the Death Star been so imposing. It seems to be an unshakable mass destroying everything in its path, even going so far as to create an eclipse by hiding an entire sun. If we didn't already have Episode IV: A New Hope to contradict us, it would be easy for us to call this obstacle insurmountable.This only bodes well for this film, which already looked promising. We just have to wait until December 14 to find the rebels and above all, to find the great Darth Vader, more ferocious than ever hopefully!
