The image previews the look of Lego’s Rogue One sets, which were announced at the Nuremberg Toy Fair earlier this year as being scheduled for an October release, two months before the movie itself. This follows a similar release schedule for last year’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens merchandise, which was released in September ahead of the Dec. 15 release of the movie.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will be released Dec. 16.
