A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY — After last year's monster hit "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens" many fans were dying to see more Star Wars on the big screen. While it's not Episode VIII we do have a new Star Wars flick headed to theaters this year and we just got a new trailer.
"Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" had a trailer several months ago, but this new trailer offers more story, more action, and the tiniest sneak peek of one of the greatest movie villains of all time.
Reaction so far for the trailer has been positive with people claiming to have watched the two-minute trailer over and over again.
Just watched the new #RogueOne trailer in front of my new roommates and they now think I'm quite unstable because there are tears.

The trailer does a solid job of getting us excited and in my own personal opinion this has me more intrigued than the first trailer did.
As always the visuals are stunning, the music enchanting, and the sight of Darth Vader is intoxicating. We may only get a half-of-a-second shot of the back of his iconic helmet, but who cares? That's half-of-a-second more than we've had in a long time.

While most of us are excited about this new movie they call these trailers teasers for a reason, because they're just that, a tease.
"Rogue One" isn't due in theaters until Dec. 16, which means we've all got time to watch this trailer on repeat until the release date finally arrives.
