WOW WOW WOW. Even though not Jan Ors, does not mean it wont be a 'Jan Ors' role. Based on the teaser the story sounds like Jan Ors.
Still... waaayyyy excited for this.
Rogue One Teaser Tomorrow on Good Morning America
I know it's a teaser, but this was pretty disappointing for me. More characters they've made up out of nothing that I don't care about, centered around Rey 2.0. As someone who grew up reading the X-Wing novels and immersed in the Rogue Squadron games, I was foolishly hoping for Top Gun in Space with the legendary crew, Wedge, Wes, Hobbie, etc.
I mean at least the cinematography looks good, and we're likely to get some neat ships out of it. This minis game is the only Star Wars thing I care about anymore anyway. On the positive side, there's no way this can be as bad as TFA. Hopefully Donnie Yen kicks some ass in this.
I'm still hoping for a future Rogue Squadron movie if the franchise kicks off properly with a new generation.
I'm hoping, and have always hoped, for a Rogue Squadron cartoon series. I'd take live-action too, but I don't think they would want to blow a live-action budget on one.
I loved this trailer. Like others have said, that Mon Mothma is great.
Something in the style of that TIE Fighter anime short might be pretty cool.
I've always thought something exactly like the earlier Gundam shows would be perfect.
So the shots at the end....
Imperial Agent? Before or after Rogue One? Maybe she's a double agent..... hmmmmmm now that's interesting. Hand of the Emperor (shush let me spitball) sent to infiltrate the Rebellion to assassinate Mon Mothma, but she turns when the Empire kills her father (Mads Mikkelsen).

Other way round... they're infiltrating the Empire to steal the Death Star plans, this seems like an obvious scene from a sequence about that.

Or wearing a disguise to infiltrate the Imperial base?
Perhaps, but the uniform is so far from typical, it looks like the result of years of Imperial training, far more than any quick infiltration ploy.

I dunno why the sleeves are so baggy though, it would be terrible to fight in.

A size to large?
She's actually Whisper, clearly.
You lot do remember this is the same guy that did Godzilla right? Don't hype yourselves too much you'll be disappointed.
One.
Remember Godzilla had a good trailer too...

Hobo, is it hard just... Wanting to hate everything? Doubting everything new? Where's the child in you that fell in love with Star Wars that just wants to enjoy something?

Basically this, yeah. I was confused too, with the use of "Rogue" in the title and not making it about Rogue Squadron.
But, like, that's fine since canonically speaking Rogue Squadron has really only ever been that snowspeeder squadron on Hoth. Hell, wasn't Wedge Red Leader in RoTJ?
Rouge Squadron more or less didn't exist as we knew it.
That's a major sticking point we've got to remember, if it wasn't in the movies, it's not a source we can rely on.

Jan Ors is Howlrunner Confirmed! I knew it! Insane theories, one; regular theories, a billion.
I dunno why the sleeves are so baggy though, it would be terrible to fight in.
It's a flight suit.
Trailer looks amazing and oozes Star Wars. I am so excited for this 
TIE Fighter pilot suit.
Is Darth Vader in the trailer, scene with the Imperial Red Guards. Maybe the emperor called him in to take over finding those spies!
New Imperial Admirial in white looks like a security head officer, maybe the guy who fails to stop them getting the plans.
Rebel pilots with helmet markings! I've spotted one that matches John Branon's, and one, God help me, that looks like Davish Krail's.
Fingers are crossed.
At 1:57 there's a helmet with same insignia as on Krail's helmet. Look to the far left of the screen.
Exactly was I was referring to.
Um hello why is noone talking about that shot of what looks to be a character based off everybody's favorite Admiral....
Who's not a fish....

Sorry, but I liked Pellaeon better then Thrawn.

"Canon" can take a hike, then. Lamest excuse I've seen.
In terms of what we can expect from Disney, yes, it makes sense that they're going to make up their own stuff. I'm not under some delusion that them having enough money to buy the rights makes them the de facto source and lords of Star Wars, though - the fact they have the rights doesn't mean I'm going to make some logical leaps and convince me that what they produce is good, that it "counts" more than anything else, nothing like that.
Rogue Squadron existed for decades and as far as I - and, now that I think about it, the X-Wing Miniatures game - am concerned, they still do.

Ashamed to say that it took a full 5 seconds to understand the reference. That said I'm not a huge fan of Thrawn. Pellaeon was a much better character.
I dunno why the sleeves are so baggy though, it would be terrible to fight in.
It's a flight suit.
Quite possibly.
I dunno why the sleeves are so baggy though, it would be terrible to fight in.
I looked up the insignia for the guy in white. 6 red and 6 blue = Fleet Admiral (not high or grand). Just in case anyone was curious.
We've never seen it in a canon source before? Looks like Grand Admiral bars to me based on the uniform.
Is the guy in white an ISB officer? It'd be appropriate to have one as the lead antagonist for a spy team.
As for the black armored guys, Naval Troopers, Shadow Troopers, or Dark Troopers, or are they something entirely new?
