New Star Wars: Rogue One trailer to debut on Thursday, check out trailer preview now

Many were disappointed when the second trailer for Star Wars: Rogue One didn't debut at Star Wars Celebration - even though there were reports that it would - but we won't have to wait much longer for new footage of the highly anticipated spin-off. Star Wars' official Twitter account has announced that a new trailer will be premiering this Thursday, and snippets of the upcoming promo can be found in the TV spot that aired on NBC.

In addition to a fresh bit of dialogue from Felicity Jones' Jyn Erso - "This is our chance to make a real difference" - the TV spot also includes a cool rendition of a familiar Star Wars score. While there's more than a good chance of Darth Vader showing up in Thursday's clip, it will be interesting to see what other footage is unveiled in the second trailer.
