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

4. That's No Moon (Eclipse Shot)

Ooft. There were a few gorgeous shots in this trailer, but the two most stunning both involved the Death Star.

The best, for my money, was the one above, which wasn't 100% clear on first watch through. That's no moon, it's the Death Star causing an eclipse over Jedha, and it looks absolutely incredible. Also, could this be part of the Empire gearing up for an attack on the planet, and that 'nighttime' attack we see in the trailer isn't actually at night, but during the Death Star eclipse?

The second image is the one below, which is from above the Death Star, looking down at Jedha. Again, it looks superb, but it's also interesting to note this film's approach to space, and the fact that there is no real upside down in it.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
