As the Star Wars Celebration is ongoing in London, we’ve got no shortage of ‘Star Wars’-related news to look forward to over the coming weekend – as well as some new footage.

A new trailer for this winter’s ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ is on the way – but in the meantime, we’ve got this rather spiffy new poster, plus a behind the scenes sizzle reel which offers up a few glimpses of things we haven’t seen yet.

Directed by Gareth Edwards (‘Godzilla’), ‘Rogue One’ is a prequel to the original 1977 ‘Star Wars’ (or, if you prefer, ‘A New Hope’), showing how those plans to the Death Star were stolen by the Rebellion in the first place.

Felicity Jones heads up an ensemble which includes Mads Mikkelsen, Donnie Yen, Alan Tudyk and Forest Whittaker – and it’s known that Darth Vader himself will be making an appearance.

This video also features ‘Star Wars’ veteran Warwick Davis, who speaks highly of “the humanity” of the film, “which makes the whole thing seem real.”

Director Edwards is clearly in kid-in-a-candy-store mode, likening the production to “a dream.”

Watch the video below.
