Teaser #2: STAR WARS - THE FORCE AWAKENS

Thursday 16 April 2015

I know everyone in the known universe is sharing the new STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS teaser tailer, but for the 2% of people who get their film trailers from DMD, here's the new footage that director JJ Abrams released at the Star Wars Celebration convention in Anaheim. You get a Mark Hamill voiceover as Luke Skywalker (superb), our first look at Harrison Ford as a grey Han Solo ("Chewie, we're home"), an unexpected look at Darth Vader's half-melted helmet (was that retrieved from the crashed Star Destroyer seen in the gorgeous first shot?), and all the expected fireworks and CGI ships n' stunts. Stormtroopers! The Millennium Falcon! X-Wings! TIE Fighters! It was all here. It looks like your childhood Star Wars, brought into the modern age, without that ugly digital falseness that coated George Lucas's accursed prequels. It seems the Force is strong with this one...
