At the time, we assumed that this decision was part of J.J. I’m also curious if they’ll have the same strategy as last year when they had a press junket for The Force Awakens without showing the movie to the journalists in attendance. This TV spot includes some brief snippets of new footage, and it will be interesting to see how much of the film Disney is willing to show before it’s released. They are led by Jyn Erso ( Felicity Jones) whose father ( Mads Mikkelsen) was forced by the Empire to build the destructive space station. For those unfamiliar with Rogue One, the story takes place before the events of A New Hope and centers on a group of rebels who are sent to retrieve the plans for the Death Star. Disney has released a new Rogue One: A Star Wars Story TV spot.
