Jimmy Smits has confirmed he has a small part in R1. Intriguing, and makes sense, given Bail is mentioned by Leia and was active in the Rebellion right up until he was presumably atomized. Nice to see another prequel connection, too.

Big fan of Smits and Bail Organa. Cool to hear this, even if it is just a small inclusion.

Fantastic, thanks Matt. What a great trailer. As much as the new sequel trilogy is cool, these one off films have the potential to be really special. This one certainly seems to be shaping up that way. It feels so good to be back in the classic era. :)

agreed! Very cool trailer I'm really looking forward to this one my feeble attempts to stay spoiler free have come to naught :)

I'm undecided as to whether the best scenes is the TIE vs Jyn face-off, or the DS over the planet. :)

Oddly enough I thought the shot where the rebels are in that trench looked amazing; reminiscent of the ESB but also lots of war movies, at first it looked like a Vietnam war scene or something...nicely done.
