2. The Death Star

What, ANOTHER Death Star? Honestly, can't these guys come up with anything original? It's so derivative, this is ridiculous. 

Oh. 

Yes, there's a darn good reason for the Death Star to be in this one, since, well, it's the same one we see in A New Hope. And it's also pretty crucial to the plot of Rogue One, what with those plans getting stolen and such like. 

Given it's so integral to the story, and we already know to expect it in the film, then it makes sense for them to show it off in the first teaser. A recreation of the same Death Star that first appeared almost 40 years ago is sure to be a big moment, and just imagine the teaser opening with a shot of it. It would establish the tone immediately, while being extremely exciting in its own right. 

Then all they need is for someone to say "That's no moon..." (I'm joking, oh dear God Disney please don't have someone say that line. You're going to have someone say that line, aren't you?!)
