While Disney short-changed Star Wars fans by not releasing the Rogue One trailer tonight on the Star Wars: The Force Awakens special, they did show the new Rogue One sizzle reel with a bit of added footage.
The new Star Wars: Rogue One footage includes a beach scene, Felicity Jones’ Jyn Erso in the rain, droids, and interviews with Mads Mikkelsen (revealed to be father to Jyn) and Ben Mendelssohn (Director Orson Krennic).
You can watch the online version here.
