Earlier today, more images from the film were released via the Topps "Star Wars Card Trader" app. The new cards feature the first images of a number of the film's new aliens, as well as some new Rebel fighters and the pilgrims of Jedha. Those pilgrims might even look a bit familiar to those of you, as their look is in line with the Emperor's royal guard.

And if you can't get enough "Rogue One," then you'll definitely want to check out this six-minute-long supercut of all the film footage that has been released so far.

Directed by Gareth Edwards (“Godzilla,” “Monsters”) from a script by Gary Whitta and Chris Weitz, “Rogue One” stars Felicity Jones, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, Donnie Yen, Forest Whitaker, Diego Luna and Riz Ahmed.

“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” opens on December 16.
