[dropcap]I[/dropcap]t’s been the moment Star Wars fans have waited for since the first teaser in November 2014: the release of the first, full-length The Force Awakens trailer.

Revealed today during Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim, Calif., LucasFilm put the trailer up on their Star Wars YouTube channel and it’s quickly making the rounds on the Internet.

The trailer is narrated by Luke Skywalker, quoting familiar lines from Return Of The Jedi. Anakin Skywalker was strong in the Force, Leia was strong in the Force and an unseen individual is also strong in the Force; possibly offspring of either Leia or Luke?

Lots of action is seen throughout the 120-second long clip, including new shots of the villain with the cross-guard lightsaber, stormtroopers in action and the young characters that will be introduced.

And to top it all off, we see R2-D2 make an appearance with a hooded figure (with a robotic hand) that seems to be Luke while Han Solo and, the Wookie himself, Chewbacca close out the trailer.

What are your thoughts on the new trailer? What are you expecting to see from Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens?
