Star Wars: Rogue One Trailer - 13 Major Plot Hints

7. There's An All Out AT-AT Battle

In what is easily the most exciting scene of the entire trailer we got a look at a huge scale battle sequence pitting the Rogue One squad (and presumably the rest of the Rebellion, judging by how much damage it looks like they cause) against a pod of Imperial AT-ATs and ground troopers.

The setting appears to be somewhere entirely brand new, with sandy beaches and palm trees stretching into the distance. Perhaps this is the same planet that sees Jyn and Diego Luna's character fighting the stormtoopers in hand-to-hand combat?

Interestingly, the Rogue One team appear to be storming the AT-ATs on foot, suggesting that they're either horribly unhinged or they have a means to take them down. Perhaps it's best to start really thinking of this crew as a group of sappers, with extremely special skills.
