Eighty-eight seconds of JJ Abrams’s installment in the Star
Wars saga was released last night (Nov 28th) and took the internet by storm as
fans rejoiced.
After months of speculation around director J.J. Abrams’
film, Disney and Lucasfilm on Friday debuted an 88-second teaser trailer for
the seventh entry into the blockbuster franchise online and in about 30 North
American theaters.The energetic teaser, which has been watched nearly 3 million
times on YouTube, blasts viewers with quick, disjointed images of classic and
slightly altered “Star Wars” images, like TIE Fighters, X-Wings, droids and the
Millennium Falcon.
The Force Awakens is the first of three new Star Wars films
being produced by Walt Disney Co since it purchased the franchise from
Lucasfilm in 2012. The six previously released Star Wars films have grossed
more than $4.4 billion at the worldwide box office since 1977 and spawned a legion
of devoted fans.
Star Wars has attracted generations of loyal fans ever since
the first film arrived in 1977 recounting the adventures of Luke Skywalker, Han
Solo and Darth Vader. Filming began in Britain in May on Episode VII – The
Force Awakens.
Original cast members Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark
Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew and Kenny Baker will star in the new
film, along with several newcomers including Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o.
Earlier this November, Disney had revealed the name of the
new episode of Star Wars: ‘The Force Awakens’. The movie is slated for a Dec
2015 release and is one of the most anticipated releases of 2015.
