Star Wars: The Force Awakens Official Teaser #2
Spread the love

 

The reaction in the room of fans was nothing short of rapturous upon seeing Harrison Ford back in character as Han. A few burst into tears at the end of the the 110-second teaser.

1. Han flies again

The trailer ended in a big way, with Han Solo and Chewbacca having apparently arrived after a flight on the Millennium Falcon.

2. That’s not Tatooine

Abrams revealed that their shooting location was not meant to represent the Skywalker ancestral home of Tatooine, as many believed.

Instead, it’s a planet called Jakku, where much of the early action of the movie takes place. Daisy Ridley’s Rey meets up with a stromtrooper, Finn (John Boyega) and that’s where the adventure begins.

3. Hints of Luke and Leia

Oscar Isaac dropped a major hint that his pilot character of Poe is sent on a mission by “a princess,” and we’re fairly certain which one he meant.

Leia and Luke aren’t seen in the trailer, but we hear Luke’s unmistakable voice as he passes along a lightsaber, presumably to other Skywalker family members.

Carrie Fisher also teased her new wardrobe but and promised no metal bikini.

4. There’s less CGI than in the prequels

Abrams said he was proud that “you can watch the movie and see what it is” before the effects wizards at Industrial Light and Magic did their work.

And yes, the new droid BB-8 (who was a fan favorite at the panel) is not CGI.

5. The ruins of the Empire are all around

A crashed Star Destroyer can be seen at the opening of the trailer, as well as a look at Anakin Skywalker’s skull inside his Darth Vader helmet. Chills.
