Star Wars: Rogue One Sizzle Reel Breakdown - 33 Things You Must See

There's definitely a sense in the entire beach sequence that this is a straight-up war film at its heart.

The imagery is extremely reminiscent of traditional war epics, and if this even remotely challenges the beach sequence in Saving Private Ryan we are in for a hell of a treat.

There's also a hint that we're going to see an X-Wing "kill" an AT-AT during the sequence from this guy...

So, that's air support for the beach battle, with the very real chance of an X-Wing and TIE Striker dog fight in the air above the squadron. It's going to be insane.

It's also interesting to note how much the Rebel soldier's costumes appear to draw from Vietnam era US uniforms (as well as the Aliens Colonial Marines)...
