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

29. Krennic's Shuttle

The trailer opens with a rather lovely shot of Krennic (I guess he's not 'Director' at this stage)'s shuttle landing on what is the home planet of Galen and Jyn Erso.

The shuttle was revealed at Star Wars Celebration Europe, and it has an extremely striking, intimidating look, complete with "bat-like wings."

What's important here though is that, in the trailer shown at Celebration, a young Jyn Erso is shown running away from this very shuttle on the same planet. It's not quite clear whether that's as the shuttle lands or takes off with her father, but means there's immediately a history between Jyn and Krennic.
