You Vader watch out, you Vader not cry: Rogue One is coming to town.

Now that the latest Star Wars installment is just a few weeks away, Disney and Lucasfilm are on a mission to jam your comlinks with as many trailers and TV advertisements as possible—including a few you might have missed if you weren't paying attention. Here's our roundup of all of the official US Rogue One: A Star Wars Story trailers, teasers, and spots from the last few weeks. And before you ask: Why yes, we are very proud of this technological terror we've constructed!
- Don't let this ad's title mislead you: At no point do we get to see footage of X-wings and Y-wings mashed up with Pearl Jam's 1992 cagey hit ["Breath."](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GeZ7fd_90A) But if you look closely around the five-second mark, you'll see a figure who appears to be Grand Moff Tarkin—the agitated Imperial leader played by the late Peter Cushing in 1977's *Star Wars: Episode IV—**A New Hope*, and easily one of the top 10 grandest Moffs of all time. You'll also hear a lot of Darth Vader huffing and puffing, and a somehow-darker-than-usual version of "The Imperial March."
- Don't let this ad's title mislead you: At no point do we get to see footage of X-wings and Y-wings mashed up with Pearl Jam's raging 1992 hit ["State of Love and Trust."](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DH_9gx3aIO8) Still, this is probably the (relatively) cheeriest *Rogue One* tease so far, thanks to some fun mid-battle banter between our main Rebel, Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones), and the nostalgia-stoking sound of a sputtering AT-AT.
- "Rollin' down the street/Lookin' for Endor/Trippin' on Jyn, that sleuth!" is an awful Snoop Dogg joke that was just published by WIRED. All offending parties have been transferred to Cell Block 1138. Those who have retained their positions would like to point out that Jyn saying "This is a rebellion isn't it? I rebel." is pretty chill-inducing (in a good way).
- Oh hey, look, it's another explainer on how dangerous the Death Star is! How many times can Lucasfilm remind us that the Empire's ultimate weapon is, uh, the Empire's ultimate weapon? Apparently, the answer is "quite a few"—but at a certain point, it tends to get a bit Alderaan-splainy.
- "Rebellions are built on hope." Not to mention [spiffy jackets](http://grantland.com/hollywood-prospectus/ranking-star-wars-jackets/).
- Question: Why don't AT-ATs wear pants—even, like, metal pants of some kind? It seems kinda unseemly.
- So much good stuff here, including our first real look at Jyn Erso's backstory—turns out her dad knows a thing or two about the creation of the Death Star—as well as an explanation for the film's title ("Rogue One" is our rebel crew's call sign). Plus, lotsa Ben Mendelsohn Menace!
- "The world is coming undone." "There isn't much time." "There is a 97.6 percent chance of failure." Wow, we can't imagine 2016 moviegoers relating to this downbeat tale of power-mad, scarily over-militarized leaders *at all*!
- Remember back in early April, when Prince was still alive, Pepe the Frog hadn't yet fully become a white-nationalist icon, and most of us thought Zika was the name of Zuckuss' mistress? That's when we all got our first look at *Rogue One*, and collectively thought, "Wow, looks pretty cool ... but certainly 2016 is gonna be *full* of cool stuff, right? Do we even *want* another Star Wars movie right now?" Eight months later, we're not just excited for a new Star Wars movie—we *need* it, even if it's nothing more than a two-hour-plus space-brained distraction full of AT-ATs, Death Stars, and super-cool new stormtroopers. December 16 can't come soon enough.
