Gareth Edwards is taking us back to a galaxy far, far away in the upcoming Rogue One film. It’s not part of the main series, but an anthology spin-off set shortly before the original 1977 Star Wars, also known as Episode IV: A New Hope. At its most basic, the movie will be about the plot to steal the plans to the Death Star, the infamous super weapon that could destroy whole worlds.

It’s also about survivors of war, of people whose lives were irrevocably changed by the authoritarian Empire. Edwards, who previously directed 2014’s Godzilla, brings a new direction to familiar old imagery, such as the image of the Death Star looming over an inhabited planet.

This latest trailer sheds some light on story details, such as the lead character Jyn Erso’s father’s role in the development of the Empire’s secret weapon. We don’t want to spoil too many details, so just watch the trailer for yourself.
