The Force Awakens

The new Star Wars Episode VII trailer arrived today, a mere 8 weeks before the film hits the cinema and I'm as excited as anything. I've got all my fingers and toes crossed that J.J. Abrams knocks this one out of the park.

It certainly looks exciting as it opens with Rey scavenging through the belly of a crashed star destroyer. "Who are you?" a voice asks. "I'm nothing."

Then there's Finn, a stormtrooper who becomes a Jedi. "The Force is calling you."

And finally Kylo Ren, our new baddie. I think one of the many things wrong with the prequels was the lack of a cool bad guy like Darth Vader. Hopefully Kylo will make up for that... Star Wars is back, baby.
