Now that we’ve had a few moments to digest the first trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens and get ‘the feels’ out of the way, it’s time for a deeper look at what we see in our first glimpse of the Star Wars universe as brought to you by J.J.

By the time we get to the new John Williams score, we’re ready to believe that this is going to be an awesome film.
