The Force is Strong with This One – New “Rogue One” Trailer


Have you seen the latest (likely final) trailer for “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story?”  (In theaters December 16th.)

As a geek I will tell you – it is AMAZING!  It has everything you might hope for as both a movie fan and as Star Wars fan.  As an SW fan, it ticks all of the boxes including our boy Darth Vader making a longer appearance than in the last trailer.

In case you are thinking, “I do not recognize anyone in this trailer except Vader.”  You are right.  This movie falls between Episode III – the one where Anakin becomes Darth Vader – and Episode IV (aka the “original” Star Wars).  This movie is the story of how the Death Star plans are stolen so that Luke Skywalker can meet his destiny and blow it up. 🙂

As always, if you have questions you feel only a geek can help you with in pop culture, just email me – kgarner@dsmradio.com.

Click and enjoy, it’s AMAZING (yes, I said it again!).  And, May the Force Be With You.

-Kate
