It is maddeningly short, but the first official glimpse of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens serves as a fitting reminder that a galaxy far, far away is actually much closer than we thought. While returning cast-members Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher are absent from the 88-second montage, fans are given a first look at the younger generation of cast-members to feature in this, the first of three planned sequels. Opening some 30-years after Return of the Jedi, the teaser kicks off with British actor John Boyega racing across a desert landscape dressed in full Storm trooper regalia.

Here we go.

[C19fan]

So I guess there has been some Imperial forces hiding out for what 30 years.

[P.O.E.]

Phineas & Ferb's Star Wars

[warpsmith]

Looks pretty decent. May be the first good Star Wars movie in 35 years.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

i believe this is fake.

[MNlurker]

This should be the real one.

The fake everyone was talking a bout had mark Hamilton in it

[C19fan]

This is the real one. Today was the release date for the teaser trailer.

[MNlurker]

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

If he were in FULL regalia, wouldn't he be wearing a helmet?

[C19fan]

Also will their marksmanship improve? They have 30 years or something to practice.:)

[gaijin]

one thing I don’t understand is why stormtroopers wear all of that armor if it never ever works.

every single one of those guys dies after one shot.

I have never seen a scene in which the armor reflected a single shot.

[C19fan]

I thought the armor allows the trooper to penetrate shielding.

[Rodamala]

would be swell if there was a direct link to the real trailer video... that website is awful to look at on my phone.

[Kirkwood]

It doesn’t matter since they are clones. There is a never ending supply of stormtroopers.

[kingu]

Wow, count those lens flares... JJ Abrams sure does love them!

[jmcenanly]

If he were wearing the helmet, we wouldn’t know who he was.
I also noticed that much of the aerial maneuvering seems to be taking place very close to ground level.Is this a carry over from the pod races of Episode I?

[a fool in paradise]

The pod racing bit in the first film was such an old cliche. “Got to win the race to save the family farm!”

Here you go.
