‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ issues first TV spot

A first TV ad for the next "Star Wars" film "Rogue One" has been released, with the 30-second clip reintroducing viewers to the prequel's main characters and the stakes at hand.

The clip lifts its material from a two-minute teaser first released in April, compressing its message down to a 30-second reel.

Action takes place before the franchise’s first film, 1977 debut “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope.”

In “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” a group of rebels seek to steal the plans for a planetary superweapon, the Death Star, that goes on to feature heavily in the original trilogy.

“Hope begins with rebellion,” the TV spot states. But by the end, a veteran soldier urges self-reflection — “If you continue to fight, what will you become?”

Should “Rogue One” follow the same pre-release schedule as 2015’s “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” a full and final trailer would arrive in October.
