It was always inevitable that we'd get to see some new footage for Rogue One at this weekend's Star Wars: Celebration event in London. And while we'll all inevitably have to just suck up the fact that we didn't get to see the exclusive trailer, the Celebration Sizzle Reel that accompanied still offers lots of new footage.

There are fresh looks at the new cast of characters, reveals of new aliens, droids, actors and scenes and there's very much an emotional bent to it celebrating the human experience of the film.

it also gives director Gareth Edwards the chance to wax lyrical about the opportunity to make a Star Wars film.

For all the complaints about reshoots, this still very much looks like the straight-up war film we were always promised. And it still looks very much like a Star Wars film. Perhaps there really wasn't anything for all those Chicken Little fanboys to get worried about, after all.
