This is the YouTube link to the OTHER new Star Wars film due this December:

This is ROGUE ONE, a prequel telling how the rebels got the plans to the Death Star before the events of the original 1977 Star Wars.

Looks great.

I saw that too! Looks like fun!

You know, it's too bad that the fella who plays Kylo Ren in "The Force Awakens" couldn't do something as Han Solo in that prequel, even if in just a cameo of sorts as, (especially in profile shots), he really looks like a young Harrison Ford.

The talk is that there will be a 'young Han Solo' movie and a 'young Obi Wan' movie in this Star Wars 'story' series and that will be the prequel trilogy fans have been looking for rather than the Lucas prequels.

More like a ...ROGUE SONG

I really enjoyed seeing the imperial/rebel uniforms and ships in the trailer. As well as the ship alert that played in the background for the last half of the trailer.

I really wish we could get this trailer in 8mm.

Shorty, you're just great!!! [Smile]

There were some very good Han Solo novels early on when STAR WARS first came out. I remember very well, "Han Solo at Stars End" as being very good.
