This morning, Star Wars fans around the world were blessed with a little sneak peek into the world of the rebels-- the new teaser trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was released this morning. 

It's no secret around our office that Goldberg loves him some Star Wars, and he knows I love the saga, too.   He and I were so excited about the trailer that we must have watched it three or four or sixty times, taking it apart piece by piece and shot by shot.

You can watch our reaction below, and the trailer is embedded beneath it.

For me, it's all about the characters.  Ever since seeing her in movies like Breathe In, Like Crazy and The Theory of Everything I've been convinced of Felicity Jones' acting prowess.  She usually plays intense, quiet female characters, so seeing her dirtied up and fighting stormtroopers is an amazing change.

Diego Luna also looks intriguing, and may I say-- da-yum!!  Forrest Whittaker, an oscar-winning actor also looks like he has a major role in the film as well as a sword-weilding space ninja and this dude with a really awesome beard:

Overall, Goldberg and I are expecting to be blown away by this film, which arrives in theaters this December.
