The big news this week? A lot of sensational headlines about leaked trailer footage from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story! Turns out there were three different scenarios happening:
1. Some websites just realizing that there were uploads of the footage from Star Wars Celebration Anaheim online, and turning that into a news story.
2. Other websites referring to the story about footage being shown to Disney shareholders (as was widely reported last week or so), and using the Star Wars Celebration Anaheim footage to shore up their stories.
3. A couple of websites actually talking about a video that purported to have new footage in it.
