"There is a 97.6% chance of failure." With the Olympics underway in Rio, Disney is celebrating the global festivities with a new trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, a movie that brings together rebels from across the galaxy in an attempt to achieve the impossible... or die trying.

"Watch the official trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, in which a group of unlikely heroes band together on a mission to steal the plans to the Death Star, the Empire’s ultimate weapon of destruction. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story arrives in theaters December 16, 2016."

Directed by Gareth Edwards (2014’s Godzilla), Rogue One: A Star Wars Story stars Felicity Jones, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, Donnie Yen, Ben Mendelsohn, Diego Luna, and Forest Whitaker. The film is scheduled to come out in theaters on December 16th.

Featuring plenty of new faces taking on the tightening grip of the Empire, the trailer takes viewers to the front lines and teases the onscreen return of one of the most iconic cinematic villains of all-time.
