Star Wars: Rogue One - 10 Major Plot Clues From The Final Trailer

6. Jedha Gets Destroyed

There are a couple of moments in this trailer that - combined with previous footage and what we know of the Star Wars universe - indicates Jedha won't be around for too long.

Firstly, we see a shot from inside the Death Star looking down at the planet, which has echoes of the destruction of Alderaan, and calls back to a similar image of the battle station looming over the Force Mecca in another trailer.

Just to drive this point home, we then have a big explosion happening on that planet. I've seen a suggestion this is a Star Destroyer crashing into the land, which is plausible, but I think it's more likely we're seeing the Death Star make the planet go boom (likely not long after our new heroes depart it). There's a reason we never hear of this planet again.
