‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ full trailer: Our 5 favourite Moments

The new full‑length trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens was shown during the Monday Night Football halftime on ESPN. It was then posted online for fans around the world. Tickets for the movie sold out in minutes for the Dec. 17 evening shows. Below we share the five moments that fans loved the most.

1. Rey on the Desert Planet Jakku

The trailer opens with Rey (played by Daisy Ridley) on the sandy world of Jakku. She walks out of the wreck of a huge starship and meets the cute droid BB‑8. A voice‑over from Maz Kanata (Lupita Nyong’o) asks, “Who are you?” Rey answers, “I’m nobody.” This scene shows Rey’s humble start and hints that she will become important to the galaxy.

2. Finn’s Search for Purpose

Next we see Finn (John Boyega), a stormtrooper who works for the First Order. He stands on Jakku and says, “I was raised to do one thing, yet I have nothing to fight for.” Finn’s words tell us he is looking for a new reason to live, and they set up his journey from soldier to hero.

3. Kylo Ren and the Dark Side Threat

The trailer cuts to Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) with a dark mask that looks like Darth Vader’s. He snarls, “Nothing will stand in our way. I will finish what you started.” This line shows Kylo’s anger and his plan to finish the work of the First Order. The scene also shows Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie) and many First Order troops, giving a glimpse of the new villains.

4. Space Battles and the Millennium Falcon

Fans love the fast‑paced space action. The Millennium Falcon chases TIE fighters inside a crashed Star Destroyer on Jakku. We also see X‑wings and TIE fighters fighting over a green planet. Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) is shown in his X‑wing, and BB‑8 rolls alongside him. The trailer ends with a huge explosion that hits the surface of Jakku, just as Rey and Finn run toward each other.

5. Return of the Classic Heroes

Old fans get a treat when Han Solo (Harrison Ford) appears on the Falcon. He says, “There are stories about what happened… It’s real.” Leia (Carrie Fisher) is also shown hugging Han. The trailer does not show Luke Skywalker, keeping his fate a mystery. This mix of old and new characters shows that the new movie will link back to the original trilogy.

Why the Trailer Works

Director J.J. Abrams kept the feel of the original movies while adding new ideas. The trailer gives a taste of the story without giving away too much. It also uses bright colors, quick cuts, and exciting music to keep viewers hooked.
