After a teaser trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was released Thursday, many fans took to social media to express their feelings about the highly anticipated Star Wars spinoff. Set in a time before Rey and Finn flew through the galaxy far, far away in The Force Awakens, the movie stars Felicity Jones as Rebel fighter Jyn Erso. But it’s finally seeing the character in action that has sparked a variety of reactions:

Many were ecstatic:

Anyways I'm super excited for Rogue One. & super excited to see positive representation of women and a female lead in such a huge franchise

Too early to say, but Rogue One looks like it's got a morally compromised, maybe even deadly female lead. And it's gonna work.

While others couldn’t believe Disney had cast—gasp—two female leads in a row:

Rogue one looks amazing....I just don't know how I feel about another female lead

And some were just there to have fun:

I hope we learn that #RogueOne is about one woman's response to reading "Actually..." one too many times on Twitter.
