A droid rolling along in the desert. Stormtroopers leaving a transport vehicle readying for battle. A Sith lord showing off his three-sided lightsaber.
Those are the images that
make up the first look at "Star Wars: Episode VII -- The Force
Awakens," which debuted its first teaser trailer Friday.
To call it the most
anticipated teaser of the year is an understatement. Fans have been
anxious to get a glimpse at the upcoming "Star Wars" installment since
Monday's announcement that it would be available in 30 theaters Friday.
Then Disney appeared to
blink Wednesday, announcing that the trailer would be available on
iTunes as well. That led to a bit of a hiccup Friday morning as a stream
of fans eager to see the clip appeared to crash iTunes' site.
The highlight of the
trailer is definitely the Millennium Falcon. It's the first time we've
seen it onscreen since 1983's "Return of the Jedi," and it was probably
enough to send chills down the spine of many fans.
Of course, "Star Wars" aficionados quickly reacted on Twitter.
The movie, directed by J.J. Abrams, opens December 18, 2015.
Yes, that's right -- a year from now.
