Star Wars: Rogue One Trailer 2 - 14 Major Plot Clues

14. Jedha Under Attack

No matter how many people draw the comparisons between new planet Jedha and Tattooine, it's just not going to fly. There's no way LucasFilm would do that... right? It's way too on the nose.

Anyway, if you'd missed it to this point, Jedha is basically the Jedi mecca, and there's something on the planet - allegedly - that is of major significance to both the Rebellion and the Empire. The hottest take seems to suggest that is Kyber Crystals, potentially granting the finders the ability to make lightsabers.

Judging by the presence of Imperial forces hinted in the very first shot of the trailer, the place is a major Imperial objective. We're basically looking at the Star Wars version of The Holy Wars, and with the Lambda class transport landers seemingly just taking off and arriving, this doesn't feel like an entrenched position yet.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Empire only just got here.
