Rogue One: A Star Wars Story dropped a new trailer Friday, just in time to convince you to buy advance Rogue One tickets beginning Nov. 28. Because who needs to shop for the holidays when you can treat yourself?

Star Wars tweeted out Rogue One’s final trailer “Trust” with the caption: “In three weeks, trust the Force.” 

“The empire is building a weapon capable of destroying the entire planet. They call it the Death Star,” rebel leader Jyn Erso says in the trailer, so Erso and the rebels set out to steal the plans to destroy the Death Star instead. The Gareth Edwards-directed standalone Star Wars film takes place before the events of 1977’s A New Hope.

Besides showing audiences more of the rebels ,the trailer shows droid K-2SO, who might not make you forget The Force Awakens' BB-8, but will be another welcome bit of comedic relief in the Star Wars universe.

Rogue One will star Felicity Jones as the previously mentioned Jyn Erso; Riz Ahmed, seen in this summer’s The Night Of; Diego Luna; Ben Mendelsohn; Jiang Wen; Forest Whitaker; and Donnie Yen.  

Star Wars' next standalone film is coming along, with Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke and Donald Glover signing onto a Han Solo spinoff. While Clarke’s role is yet to be revealed, Glover has been announced to play Lando Calrissian.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story premieres Dec. 16.
