The movie has been described as an “origin story,” and so far it hasn’t proved uncontroversial, given that it (i.) introduces a whole new [flock of characters](http://time.com/4425913/star-wars-is-introducing-brand-new-characters-in-rogue-one/ "undefined") and (ii.) features a [female lead, ](http://time.com/4285348/star-wars-rogue-one-female-lead-felicity-jones/ "undefined")which, as seen in [recent months](http://time.com/4412232/leslie-jones-ghostbusters-tweets/ "undefined"), can be a point of curious consternation. The TV spot for the film that dropped Monday night gives us yet another look at what to expect. _Rogue One: A Star Wars Story_ will hit theaters on Dec. 16. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4434565/star-wars-rogue-one-tv-spot/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4434565/star-wars-rogue-one-tv-spot/"},"headline":"Watch the New TV Spot For Star Wars Spinoff Rogue One","datePublished":"2016-08-02T03:46:01.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T23:42:45.751Z","description":"Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will hit theaters on Dec. 16","url":"https://time.com/4434565/star-wars-rogue-one-tv-spot/","keywords":["movies","Star Wars topic"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8fc7745d7af84b28/6988a0c1e20a87946da91e2a/screen-shot-2016-08-02-at-10-59-43-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nash Jenkins","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/p-nash-jenkins/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8fc7745d7af84b28/6988a0c1e20a87946da91e2a/screen-shot-2016-08-02-at-10-59-43-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Screen Shot 2016-08-02 at 10.59.43 AM","caption":"star wars rogue one","creditText":"youtube","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":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4434565/star-wars-rogue-one-tv-spot/","name":"Watch the New TV Spot For Star Wars Spinoff Rogue One"}}]}] ```
