New IMAX TV spot. New footage in it but they've obviously edited it in a way to change some of the dialog we've already heard and not for the better imo.

You are getting ahead of yourself here. That is stage 4 and most are still on stage 2 right now.
Which is most think if you voted Trump then you only like Trump people and likewise if someone voted Hillary only her voters like each other.
Eventually people will learn lots of us don't base our hate/love on that, but I expect it will occur after stage 3 which is Christmas dinner and the nuclear fallouts that occur after those dinners.

And yes R2D2 not telling Luke does bother me some.
I have to even wonder if R2D2 even knew who Luke was well before meeting Obi as he knew to seek out Obi while being just a droid picked up for a farm hand.

I'm being 100% honest when I say this shit has bothered me for a long time. They explicitly state that C3-P0 got his memory wiped but never a word about R2's. R2D2 is, without a doubt, the biggest dick in movie history.

R2D2 is the reigning galactic champion secret keeper. That's all. Got a fucking secret to keep? Lock it up in that little droid. To fix a famous saying, 3 people may keep a secret only if all 3 are R2D2.

Screen Rant’s Rob Keyes was especially enthusiastic in his impressions, saying that Rogue One “puts the “war” in Star Wars” in a way that others haven’t:

“The set pieces are extremely detailed, worn, and well-realized, even more than the back-to-practical approach J.J. Abrams took with Episode VII. It’s violent, powerful, and even “hardcore,” if that makes sense. If you wanted to see more of what the Rebellion is really like from the days of A New Hope and The Empire Strikes back, this movie is exactly that. It’s no longer a simple black and white, good versus evil conflict.”

I'll take a hardcore war movie in the SW universe, with a droid that every critic is praising to boot.

Tomorrow is the American premier so the media chatter should ramp up quite a bit starting tomorrow night. Though it should be spoiler free some loose lips are always in the cards with these things.

In the meantime, have a taste of the franchise's new composer.

Something interesting in the clip at the end; "impounded Imperial ship". And it looks like they're leaving the Yavin base. It gives the decision to choose Rogue One as the call sign some added meaning if so. Their mission might not be approved.

After having stewed on this (the spoiler along with everything else we've seen so far in assorted trailers) a bit I think that

After hearing about the transmission Jyn wants to extract her father (and possibly mother, if she's still alive) but the Rebellion leadership feels like such a mission would be too risky and refuse to back it. She decides to try on her own and Cassian (with K-2SO) throws in with her. She goes to Jedha seeking Saw Gerrera (Jedha is "a war zone" which is exactly where someone like Saw would be) because, as we know from the Catalyst novel, he has at least some brief history with her parents (and herself as well) and is a resistance fighter with a reputation for his high stakes gambles from his days in The Clone Wars.

Just as an aside, it's oh so fitting to see another character portrayed by Alan Tudyk at the controls of a starship.
