While the video doesn't give too much away, it offers fans a glimpse of a Stormtrooper, clad in a menacing black costume, seemingly on the look out for something... or someone.
Not too far in the distance, two more Stormtroopers can be seen circling a burning Moisture Vaporator, a device used to capture water from the air used on moisture farms.
While the Stormtroopers' location is not revealed, the contraptions are typically found on desert planets such as Tatooine.

Rogue One follows resistance fighters who band together on a daring mission to steal plans for the Empire's Death Star.
These events tie-up with the first scenes of A New Hope; when Princess Leia is seen concealing the plans in R2-D2 before she's captured by the Galactic Empire.
The sci-fi flick boasts an all-star cast, including Felicity Jones (The Theory of Everything), Mads Mikkelsen (Hannibal), Diego Luna (Elysium) and Riz Ahmed (Nightcrawler).
Speaking to investors during The Walt Disney Co.'s quarterly earnings call in February, CEO Bob Iger revealed that filming on the production was almost done.
'Filming of Rogue One is virtually completed and we absolutely love what we’ve seen so far.
'This is the first of a set of planned stand-alone stories and we’re already in preproduction on our next one, for release in May of 2018.'
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will hit cinemas in December.
