State of the Empire is Nerdy Show’s Star Wars speculation podcast where we “look for news in Alderaan places”. The time has come: the Rogue One trailer is finally here! Not a teaser, not a sizzle reel, not a behind-the-scenes promo - and honest-to-God, fully-loaded trailer, Sith Lord and all. There's a lot to take in, so let the crew of State of the Empire navigate you through the proverbial asteroid belt of what's going on and what nuances we can glean from this sexy and revealing advertisement. Cynics, don't fret; Cap, Doug, and Matt aren't all rose colored lenses over this well-dressed Star Wars trailer. We've still got our heads level and our minds open. Not only do we talk Rogue One, but we also chew over the latest rumors surrounding Lord and Miller's young Han Solo film (trilogy?) and we report our findings on Episode IX director Colin Tervorrow. With only the dubious Jurassic World and indie darling Safety Not Guaranteed under his belt, does he have the chops to put a bow on the new trilogy? New tales from Willow, new editions of The Force Awakens, and more await! For links and more info, head tot he main episode page: http://nerdyshow.com/2016/08/state-empire-episode-25-rogue-one-trailer
