So who else is MASSIVELY excited about the new Star Wars film? Because… WE SURE ARE!
And now there’s a brand new trailer here for us to soak up and enjoy.
It looks pretty fun, eh?
Here’s what heat’s movie buffs think:
BOYD HILTON, TV & REVIEWS EDITOR:
The most exciting thing is the look of it, which is very reminiscent of The Empire Strikes back, which as we all know is by far and way the best* Star Wars* film. In fact it's about 10 times better than any of the others. Also, John Boyega looks great in the lead role and that sounds a bit like the Cumberbatch narrating, which would be incredibly exciting, but it might also be Adam Driver off* Girls* who is actually confirmed to be in the film, unlike Benedict. All in all, it's already better than the last three rubbish Star Wars films. I have high hopes it's going to be, effectively, The Empire Strikes Back Again.
CHRIS LONGRIDGE, SENIOR EDITOR:
Nice to see British star John Boyega front and centre, and while that sword-shaped lightsabre in the woods looks a bit hokey, it was undeniably stirring to see the Millennium Falcon soaring through the sky to John Williams' unforgettable main theme. Dan-dan-dan-DAA-DAAAAAA!
CHARLES GANT, FILM EDITOR:
I thought it managed to feel like a* Star Wars* film for 2015 with a very now, contemporary feel while also pressing some nostalgic buttons for the fans. The last film that really managed to do that – be simultaneously freshly modern and nostalgically retro – was Skyfall, which went on to be, and remains, the biggest film ever at the UK box-office. So, at this point, my hopes are very high.
