The REAL 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Trailer Is Now Here [Trailer + Pictures]

  • 28 November 2014

It's finally here! The teaser trailer you've all been waiting for: 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens', and while it's not really giving anything away, it looks pretty intense. Vehicles have updated, the stormtroopers are looking shinier and R2D2 appears to have evolved.

Since George Lucas announced his retirement from the franchise, there's been all sorts of speculation about what differences could be expected from an updated sequel: though it's difficult to tell from the less than one and a half minute trailer. Everyone seems to be in a rush (especially, in a comical fashion, R2D2) and there's some brand new faces, who all look a little nervous as a voiceover booms out: 'There has been an awakening. Have you felt it? The dark side and the light.'

The new cast additions are just as exciting, even if we've no idea what characters they'll play. Among them are 'Lord of the Rings' actor Andy Serkis, rising star Domhnall Gleeson who recently appeared in Angelina Jolie's 'Unbroken', Gwendoline Christie from 'Game Of Thrones', 'Inside Llewyn Davis' star Oscar Isaac and '12 Years A Slave' Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o. The new movie also introduces Lucas' replacement: Jj Abrams, who's well-known for his work on the 'Star Trek' films.
