Star Wars: Rogue One - 11 Things You Might've Missed In The Official Trailer

6. Jump To Lightspeed

While the trailer once again made Rogue One look different to any Star Wars film that has come before it, there was still plenty of iconography to ensure it feels like part of that world.

Yes, there's Vader and the Death Star, but one of the coolest was Jyn and Cassian making the jump to lightspeed, which frankly never stops looking awesome.

Interestingly it's shot from behind the pilot and is unfocused, which is another fun new way of playing around with the concept (like The Force Awakens' showing it from the outside), and it's edited to make it look like this is them leaving Jedha, though whether or not that's really the case remains to be seen.
