If you're like us, the high-pitched unending scream that began when you first watched the Rogue One trailer on August 11 is showing no signs of stopping any time soon.

The hype, it's calling to you... just let it in.

To match your feelings, comedian David Schneider tweeted an edited version of the film's first full trailer. In this new take, an Icelandic soccer announcer goes completely insane for the length of the video.

Yeah, that seems about right.

The source of the screaming is Icelandic commentator Gudmundur Benediktsson, who created the instantly classic commentary track when Iceland defeated England in the Euro 2016 Round of 16 back in June.

Clearly, the light and dark side of the force are fighting for control of Benediktsson's heart.
