Jul 15, 2016 4:55 PM UTC A clip and poster for [_Rogue One: A Star Wars Story_ ](http://time.com/3999589/star-wars-rogue-one-photo/)was released Friday, revealing a behind the scenes look at director Gareth Edwards’s newest venture. “The pressure is so high,” Edwards said in the footage of the _Star Wars_ spinoff. “We’re making a film that’s right touching my favorite film of all time. But then if you’re too respectful of it, then you didn’t do anything new or different.” The clip was released at the [Star Wars Celebration Europe](http://www.starwarscelebration.com/), which continues through July 17 in London. _Rogue One_, set in a time before _The Force Awakens_, stars Felicity Jones as Rebel fighter Jyn Erso who is on a mission to steal the Empire’s plans for the Death Star ahead of the 1977 _Star Wars_ film. A new poster for the film was also revealed at the panel, showing a Death Star crescent looming over the new world, [known as Scarif](http://www.ew.com/article/2016/07/15/details-rogue-one-panel-star-wars-celebration), where a major battle takes place, _Entertainment Weekly_ reported. > [](https://twitter.com/starwars/status/753973051784658944) The film will be released Dec. 16. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4407834/rogue-one-star-wars-footage/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4407834/rogue-one-star-wars-footage/"},"headline":"Check Out the New Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Footage and Poster","datePublished":"2016-07-15T16:55:17.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:34:25.935Z","description":"The clip reveals a behind the scenes look at the film","url":"https://time.com/4407834/rogue-one-star-wars-footage/","keywords":["Newsfeed","movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8b8a3dc2323a84fd/69889c24fb4eac806788e4e9/star-wars-rogue-one-poster-footage.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Mahita Gajanan","jobTitle":"Gajanan is an editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/mahita-gajanan/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8b8a3dc2323a84fd/69889c24fb4eac806788e4e9/star-wars-rogue-one-poster-footage.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Star-Wars-Rogue-One-poster-footage","caption":"From left, Actors Riz Ahmed, Diego Luna, Felicity Jones, Jiang Wen and Donnie Yen.","creditText":"Jonathan Olley—Lucasfilm","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4407834/rogue-one-star-wars-footage/","name":"Check Out the New Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Footage and Poster"}}]}] ```
