New Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer – Watch it and then join in the dissection in the comments
The new #StarWars Teaser Trailer starts with some pretty impressive visuals and then packs even more into it’s 2 minute length.
So without any further ado:
Breaking it down here. I’ll update as we learn more:
I love that Luke Skywalker starts off with some over-dialogue that implies there are new users of the Force out there. Gave me tingles down my spine.
We see a crashed Destroyer from the Empire on planet Jakku and landspeeder passes in front of it (Is this Rey on that speeder bike?).
A cloaked figure kneels by R2D2, we assume it’s Luke since he and R2 D2 are close, oh and the bionic hand thing.
We then see a young girl (possibly Rey) giving that cloaked figure a Lightsaber.
