Star Wars: Rogue One New Trailer Breakdown - 29 Things You Need To See

12. Night Fight

Star Wars Rogue One night battle

This night battle is something we've seen a few intriguing glimpses of, and it remains a difficult point to place in the film.

At the moment, what seems most likely is that this is where they head after Jedha, and before Scarif. Why? This is why the Empire is holding Galen Erso. Obviously that's a fair bit of conjecture, but the look of the planet fits with where we see Galen earlier in the trailer, there has to be a reason for the big battle, and it sets up the journey to Scarif and the transition of the mission from Galen to the plans.

And even if that's not it, it still looks pretty freakin' awesome, and a really dark, intense, and high-stakes battle.
