There's only two months to go until the first standalone Star Wars film drops.

But if you can't wait until then, director Gareth Edwards has given fans another taste of what to expect in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

The usual Star Wars tropes are there - AT-STs, the Death Star and even a brief hint of Darth Vader himself in action. The opening shot echoes the famous image of Luke watching the twin suns of Tattooine set.

But has Edwards has strayed into dangerous territory in showing Jyn Erso as a child? Star Wars has a rocky past with child actors.

We'll find out for sure in December, but until now, enjoy the two minutes we've got now.
