Star Wars: The Force Awakens first official trailer has been unveiled online and in US cinemas.
The 7th installment of the Si-Fi saga trailer gives fans an 88-second glimpse of the new film, the first new addition to the series since 2005.
Featuring shots of the Millennium Falcon and a new T-shaped lightsaber, it is enough to whet fans’ appetite.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which reunites original stars Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher is scheduled to be released in cinemas on December 18, 2015.
The trailer opens with a sweeping desert landscape, with a voice saying: “There has been an awakening, have you felt it?” before John Boyega appears wearing a Stormtrooper uniform.
It goes on to feature a football-like droid, a Stormtrooper army and Daisy Ridley on a type of speeder bike.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens is set about 30 years after the events of Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi.
