VIDEO: Star Wars: The Force Awakens has a new trailer and it’s absolutely magnificent

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…

Any Star Wars fan will always have a special place in their heart for George Lucas. I mean, he only created two of the greatest film franchises in the history of cinema but he also inflicted Jar Jar Binks and midi-chlorians on the galaxy also.

It’s fair to say that by his own impeccable standards, he took a turn to the dark side with Episodes I-III but JJ Abrams seems like he’s providing a new hope for the galaxy.

The latest trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens has just been unleashed and it feels like it’s a loving homage to the themes of Episodes IV-VI.

The force of family, destiny and discovery are all strong here as as newcomers Rey, Finn and the villainous Kylo Ren take centre stage. I won’t give too much away but there are four characters that are very conspicuous by their absence.

I’ve seen this 5 times already and I want to watch it all over again.

December 18th can’t come around quickly enough.
