New Star Wars Rogue One Trailer Coming Next Week - Report

It looks like Disney will air the second trailer for the Star Wars spinoff Rogue One on Friday, July 15. According to an official listing, this trailer will run on Disney subsidiary ABC that day as part of the hour-long "Secrets of the Force Awakens: A Cinematic Journey" broadcast.

The show kicks off at 8 PM ET that night. Making Star Wars found a listing that said the trailer will be three minutes long, though the official programming schedule on ABC's website only mentions "a trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story."

The first trailer for Rogue One, which was labeled a "teaser," came online in April, setting up some of the story and showing off the lead characters. This trailer, which clocked in at just under two minutes, debuted on ABC's Good Morning America.

July 15 is also the day Star Wars Celebration Europe kicks off. In addition to the trailer, there will be a panel at the event where the directors of Episode VIII and the Han Solo movie may share some new details on those films.

Rogue One comes out in December, with the next saga movie, Episode VIII, landing in 2017. After that, a standalone movie focusing on young Han Solo will premiere in 2018.

In other news about Rogue One, we recently learned that Darth Vader will appear in it. Additionally, a batch of new images were released, while the names and more details for the cast of characters were also shared.

Rogue One is directed by Godzilla's Gareth Edwards. Reports suggested the film's reshoots were done to "lighten the mood," but Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, who is a producer on Rogue One, later said the movie's tone and story has not changed.

"There's nothing about the story that's changing, with a few things that we're picking up in additional photography," she explained. "I think that's the most important thing, to reassure fans that it's the movie we intended to make."
