Tonight we get our first look at the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer, which is an exciting prospect. Sure, we’ll
probably walk away with more questions than answers, but what the hell, new
Star Wars footage. Just to tide you over until then,
however, over the weekend Lucasfilm revealed a new poster and three short
clips, presumably footage from the trailer. Check them out below.
This poster looks very much like the offerings for the
previous six Episodes, making The Force Awakens
feel even more directly connected to the saga. It gives you a look at
characters new and old (Luke Skywalker is still noticeably absent), the
military might of both the Resistance and the First Order, and even Starkiller
Base, a former ice planet transformed into a massive weapon — as far as that
last bit goes, am I the only one who thinks it’s odd that it is on the “good”
side of the poster? It could be just a matter of graphic design, but the conspiracy
theorist in me is curious.
And while the full trailer doesn’t debut until halftime of
Monday Night Football tonight, there are these three
snippets of footage to keep you occupied in the meantime. You see new additions
Rey (Daisy Ridley), Finn (John Boyega), and Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), and not
much else, but with that haunting score, this still sends shivers up my spine.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens
everywhere December 18. Check out the clips below.
