The Empire isn’t quite dead, although it’s taken thirty years for them to regroup to make a new power play against the Republic. In the hotly anticipated trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens those moves are, sadly, not spoiled. It’s more an amalgamation of what to expect — a new Sith Lord, stormtroopers geared for battle, X-Wing fighters in flight formation and the Millennium Falcon showing off some wicked evasive maneuvers. It’s a great tease, especially for those who have been yearning to know the fates of Luke, Leia, Han and Chewie (no confirmation on Darth Vader yet), and for those wishing to clear the bad taste left from the three prequel films. Check the action out in the embedded trailer above and enjoy the nostalgic rush halfway through when the Star Wars theme kicks in.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens stars Andy Serkis, Oscar Isaac, Warwick Davis, Lupita Nyong’o, Domhnall Gleeson, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens regroups in US and UK theaters on December 18, 2015.

May JJ reintroduce the force lost long long ago in a galaxy far far away…

I feel like an eleven-year-old again.

at least they didn’t waste any time clearing up whether black people are still around.

My inner child has awakened! So cool!

Just hearing the music, the TIE-fighters and the electric static of the lightsabers would have been enough for me. I would have loved if it could have ended with Darth Vader’s breathing though (even if he isn’t in the movie.)

Bet it’ll all be CGI and no story.

I’m officially clued in now. Do not, and I repeat do not, let us down Mr. Abrams.

We’ll be fine. He did right by Star Trek fans so he understands what needs to be done and how to do it.

Rumor is the force that awakens is the most badass Jedi turned Sith Lord ever, Darth Revan.

Darth Revan isn’t official canon. Darth Plagueis is and he is a strong possibility.

After 30 years maybe it is Luke who truly awakens…

Wicked lightsaber.

Great tease. Just try and wipe the smile away from my face.

This trailer has me happier than a fat guy in a Twinkie factory.

Strange start to it but it picks up a head of steam quickly. The Millennium roll was an excellent exclamation point!

As long as Jedi die, it will be a good movie…

Sweeeeeet. Been waiting for a new Star Wars film that looked and felt like a Star Wars film.

I realize this is a big ticket title but what is it that everyone is gushing over? Other than a few shots of spaceships and a cloaked guy with a light-saber this trailer is a lot of nothingness.
