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

6. Death Star Makes Things Go BOOM

That incredible power of the Death Star? Something that gets talked about a lot, and we get to see it in action here.

The explosion is taking place on Jedha, and it appears as though some serious damage is being done. Even if it's not enough to wipe out the planet completely (though it'd explain why there's no mention of it post-Rogue One), it's gonna leave some real destruction in its wake, especially judging by this shot. It fits with what we've seen in previous trailers of both the Death Star and Jedha, and it makes sense that the Empire would target this planet.
