Glorious New Footage Of Rogue One’s Space Battle

Video: Sure, the moments of X-Wing vs TIE Fighter action in the skies of Takodana during The Force Awakens were pretty neat — but the natural home of the Star Wars galaxy’s coolest starfighters is, as the name implies, among the stars. So every time we get new snippets of Rogue One teasing its obviously epic space battle, I can’t help but get even more excited.

We have two more international trailers for the film today, but while they don’t contain as much cryptic new footage from the film as yesterday’s Japanese trailer did, they do contain new shots of the Rebels and Imperials doing battle over what presumably is the planet Scarif, home of the Empire’s Death Star construction project.

The first shot above is pretty gorgeous, but then there’s this new one, too — a veritable swarm of TIE fighters rising out to meet the Rebel fleet.
