The new trailer features a heavy dose of franchise newcomers Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, and Oscar Isaac, as well as a look at new worlds such as the desert planet of Jakku.
WATCH: Disney released the longest trailer to date for the newest Star Wars movie. The two-minute clip introduces new characters and brings back some favorites. And as Brook Silva-Braga reports, in just a few hours movie tickets for Episode Seven sold out at many theater locations and online.
But of course, the trailer would not be complete without some familiar faces, and once again Harrison Ford’s Han Solo is on hand alongside his iconic Wookie partner Chewbacca.
“It’s true. All of it,” Solo intones at one point. “The Dark Side. The Jedi. They’re real.”
