You can watch the trailer here:
What’s more impressive, is of course, the fans’ reactions. Everyone seems to be losing their minds and some even went the extra mile to analyse the trailer frame-by-frame. Naturally, some fans have started a countdown until the movie comes out.

Others were pretty much amused by the alarm sound playing in the background throughout the trailer. Honestly, we couldn’t help but think it kinda sounds like an elephant herd passing through.252 days until Star Wars Rogue One

The Rogue One trailer owes all its intensity to that squealing alarm. Looks cool but the sound team made that trailer great.

I think we could torture someone by slapping on headphones to him/her and playing the alarm from the rogue one trailer.

That's not an alarm going off in the Rogue One trailer, I'm just loud when i hyperventilate.

The sound isn’t the only alarming thing in the trailer, some fans pointed out a few similarities in the trailer to The Hunger Games.
Sure, their outfits and appearance kinda look the same, and the premise of both stories involve a female protagonist going against authority but we doubt that it’s anything near to The Hunger Games. For die hard Star Wars fans, we strongly advise you to stay away from reading the tweets. Unless, you’re prepared to go all battle-mode and start a Twitter fight.
Can't believe how much Rogue One looks like a Hunger Games movie! For one, they both have people in them and two, they are both movies.

If you guys pay great attention to detail, we’re pretty sure that a few of you may realize that some of the scenes in Rogue One were shot at the London Underground in the UK. Shooting the scenes while keeping it from the public eye must’ve been a real challenge for them. So, did you manage to uncover any other secret or facts that we don’t know of?
