AT-ATs can swim, and their powerful legs allow them to jump from planet to planet.

This trailer doesn't seem to show any aliens. Possibly one at 1:04-1:05 behind the character in the foreground. Hands/arms look to be the wrong proportion for a human.
technically all the organisms in the trailer are aliens tbf

The great debate: Are the people in the Star Wars movies humans?

I did waffle for a minute over how to differentiate between basic human-type space people and less human-ish space people, but just decided that everybody would know what the hell I meant. Is there any wookiepedia-approved guidance for delineation between bipedal space species?

This makes the 8th movie where shit happens on planets. Can't they just shoot a camera off into space and film the void or something?

This has nothing to do with Rogue One (or does it...?) but since this is currently the happening Star Wars thread, I thought I should post here that I just learned the name of the Tusken Raider that attacked Luke, and his name is URoRRuR'R'R. That is precisely the kind of name I used to give imagined characters in elementary school. It's stupid and I love it.

The much-anticipated “Rogue One” is due for release on Dec. 16, but we’re told bosses at Disney are not fully satisfied with the first cut from director Gareth Edwards.One Hollywood source told us, “The execs at Disney are not happy with the movie, and ‘Rogue One’ will have to go back into four weeks of expensive reshoots in July.”
One Hollywood source told us, “The execs at Disney are not happy with the movie, and ‘Rogue One’ will have to go back into four weeks of expensive reshoots in July.”
let me guess everybody died at the end and nobody liked it
The source added, “Disney won’t take a back seat, and is demanding changes, as the movie isn’t testing well.”
yup

This boils down my son's complaint about the trailer. "This doesn't have anything to do with the last movie. I have to wait for three years to find out what happened in that one?"
I'm bummed. The trailer looked so so good to me.
