Pre-weekend treat alert! Your Friday just took a turn for the better, because a new international trailer just dropped for 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story', and it’s absolute FIRE!

The new trailer gives us a welcome bit of backstory to Felicity Jones’ heroine, Jyn, whose father (Mads Mikklesen) has played a key role in the building of the Death Star. Speaking of the Death Star, it gets to flex its muscles in explosive style here and yeah… looks like a serious bit of kit.

Check out the new trailer below…

Don’t know about you, but we’re finding watching a badass female insurgent going toe-to-toe with a terrifying power-crazed overlord even more stirring than usual this week… As Jyn puts it herself, “We’ll take the next chance, and the next, until we win, or the chances are spent.” Preach!

Directed by Gareth Edwards and co-starring Donnie Yen, Diego Luna and Ben Mendelsohn,' Rogue One: A Star Wars Story 'will open in the UK on 15 December 2016.
