The teaser trailer for Pixar’s Cars 3 was pretty harrowing–it somehow managed to be more emotionally demanding than the entirety of ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS Story–which is saying something.  

In fact, the official trailer opens with the teaser, so you’ll see what I mean.  

We also see that the whole talking cars thing is being underplayed (in the trailer, at any rate, helping to give things a Days of Thunder-type vibe). 

And it might just be me, but we could be potentially witnessing The Empire Strikes Back chapter of the Cars trilogy (which is also a sentence that I never thought I’d find myself typing).
