Dissecting The New TGIT ‘Star Wars: Force Awakens’ Trailer

A new threat.  A new
beginning.  Yet another new “Star
Wars” trailer!

A new :60 trailer for “Star Wars: The Force
Awakens” aired on Thursday night during ABC’s TGIT block, offering even
more new footage for fans of The Force.

Among the new tidbits we see…

• John Boyega’s Finn introduces himself to Daisy Ridley’s Rey

• Finn using a lightsaber to battle a Strom Trooper

• Carrie Fisher’s General (no longer Princess) Leia in some
  sort of battle strategy meeting alongside C-3PO, Han, a young girl many are
  suggesting is Carrie’s real-life daughter Billie Lourd, and possibly… Admiral
  Ackbar?!?

• Harrison Ford’s Han Solo hands Rey a blaster, adding “You’re
  going to need this”

• Han Solo in battle! We repeat, Han Solo in battle!
