We don"t want to get overly excited.
We want to remain calm and keep perspective and not prove that this Honest Trailer has us pegged perfectly, but… well.. we can"t help it:
NEW FOOTAGE FROM STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS IS HERE!!!!!!!
That feels worthy of all capital letters, don"t you think?
This Japanese preview begins in the same way as a previous Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer, with Daisy Ridley’s Rey on the plant of Jakku.
Unlike earlier sneak peeks at the film, however, the focus in this case is on Rey’s companionship with the droid BB-8, who we see and here doing plenty of endearing R2D2-esque beeping and chirping.
My, how we"ve missed those sounds.
Via narration, we then hear the pirate Maz Kanata (played by the amazing Lupita Nyong’o, who we’re yet to see in any trailer) asking Rey questions about her identity, one of which prompts a fascinating response:
“I know all about waiting. For my family.”
Hmmm… sounds a bit like Rey – long speculated by fans to be the daughter of Luke Skywalker or Princess Leia – was abandoned on Jakku for some reason.
But what"s the reason? Who is she, exactly? Oh, and is it December 18 yet?!?
Check out the new preview to also see John Boyega’s controversial Stormtrooper Finn watching the horizon as TIE fighters come in, seemingly intent on destroying Rey"s home planet.
But enough from us, right? Watch the trailer now and begin to formulate your own theories.
