(UPDATE) #StarWars: Disney Drops Teaser Preview; Official Trailer Out 8th April

The force is strong with us today because Walt Disney Pictures released their first teaser preview for “Star Wars: Rogue One”!

The teaser preview doesn’t tell us much, as it is just a preview for the trailer release tomorrow on Good Morning America. In the 10-second preview, you will see a group of Shadow troopers against an explosion / building on fire.

According to /FILM, the plot of the new “Star Wars” movie is going to be set during the “A New Hope” (Episode 4) era and it will be a heist movie about a group of bounty hunters hired by the rebel alliance to try to steal the plans to the Empire’s greatest weapon – the Death Star. This will also be the first “Star Wars” spin-off film.

Check out the teaser below:

We hope that tomorrow’s trailer will help us understand more of the 8th episode. Till then, stay tuned for more updates about “Star Wars: Rogue One” on Hype! :)
