Mads Mikkelson's character didn't want to build the Death Star, but went along with it - so he built the thermal exhaust ports into the death star on purpose, hence explaining why it's so simple to destroy it.

Maybe he was good buddies with Darth Doofenshmirtz and added in a self destruct to his Planet-blowing-up-inator.

Rumors the sequel will be Force Ten from Rogue One. Harrison Ford will play Han Solo's dad.  :P

But.... what about the Bothans?

Seriously, the ruined Jedi statue in the sands of Jedha was a great touch.  It helps establish Jedha as this ancient place that was sacred to the Jedi Order.  Funny though, the hooded figure of the Jedi bore a strong resemblance to ANH era Obi-Wan.

I was also able to find Moroff by going methodically through the trailer.  And it turns out that he's in the scene on Jedha where the AT-ST is attacking the Rebels.

Seeing some of the Rebel Starfighter corps in action was cool.  It looked like they might have been attacking some sort of orbital shipyard, along with some capital ships in support.  I'm pretty sure I saw at least one ship that resembled the ones that Leia got to the Rebels in her season 2 appearance on the REBELS animated series, along with some Nebulon cruisers like the medical frigate from TESB and ROTJ.  And I think the blue flightsuits are pretty cool, too.  The night scenes of the ground attack by the Y-Wings and X-Wings was a great visual as well.

Given the flashback scene, I have to wonder... did the Death Troopers follow in the footsteps of the Republic Commandos?  They seem like they might be an evolution from those particular Clone units.

Of all the images that have come out, the various Pilgrims on Jedha are the absolute coolest to me. Man, I hope we get figures of those, background characters or not.

What's up with all the Rebels and their facial hair? Is a galactic 'stache a pre-requisite?  :D

Facial hair? Hasbro must've had some influence.

Well, now we've seen the gist of the movie.

Except where the Death Star partially explodes...because this is the ROTJ Death Star, they were building two at once. The one in ANH was ready to go, the Rogue One station is being repaired in ROTJ. The Empire refused to acknowledge the sabotage from the events of Rogue One and spun some PR "new Death Star" campaign.

WOW!  That shot of the Death Star eclipsing the star as it orbits Jedha?  And then to see it fire on the planet from that perspective?!?!?!  OMG!!!

I've got a theory about that orbital dock that appears to be at Scarif, but I don't know if I should get into it just yet.
