‘Rogue One’ Extended TV Spot: Director Krennic Cannot Fail And K-2SO Is Cool Under Pressure
Last night, ABC aired The Wonderful World of Disney Holiday Celebration, and along with it came an exclusive look atRogue One: A Star Wars Story. Disney CEO Bob Iger introduced the extended TV spot that mostly features footage that we’ve seen in the previous trailers and TV spots, but there are some snippets of new footage in there, including some new dialogue from Director Orson Krennic (Ben Mendelsohn) and a couple cool moments for the droid K-2SO (Alan Tudyk). In addition, there’s an encounter with one of the new AT-ACT walkers around the 1:10 mark of the video that you might want to save for the movie.

We’re starting to see a lot of recycled footage fromRogue One, so hopefully that means they’re done revealing cool shots from the movie. Surely since this isStar Warsthey’re not going to be spoiling the greatest moments, which is why we haven’t heard Darth Vader speak at all in any of the trailers. But will he ever get his lightsaber out? With no Jedi appearing in the movie, that doesn’t seem necessary, but he might have to use it to dispatch with some Rebels. Anything is possible.
Don’t forget,we’re not going to be seeingan opening crawl with this movie, and there are rumors as to justhow the movie is going to openwithout that trademark scroll to start the adventure. But we probably won’t have confirmation on that matter until we’re sitting in theaters ready to watch it all unfold.
