SWForceAwakensIn select theaters and on everyone’s internet streaming devices today is the newest look at Star Wars Episode VII, The Force Awakens. This will undoubtedly be the water cooler conversation topic of the next week, despite the very keen Jurassic World trailer we got just a few days ago. But then again, with a near 40 year history and roughly 10 years since the last live action film, Star Wars fans are expected to go a little crazy and ultimately we’re all Star Wars fans. So check out the incredible first teaser below that places my faith in J. J. Abrams:

 

I don’t know how I feel about the laser guards on the Sith lightsaber, but that could save a few appendages in all reality. It is nice to see a return to a more clunky and rectangular shape of ships too, even if the Millennium Falcon has gone very CG. But the best news?

Star Wars: The Force Awakens will make its way in to theaters next year, on December 18th, 2015, features a cast including actors John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Lupita Nyong’o, Gwendoline Christie, Crystal Clarke, Pip Andersen, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow. They will join the original stars of the saga, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker.
