Epic Third And Final Trailer For 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Released (Watch!)
The third and final trailer for what is easily the most anticipated film of the year, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," has finally arrived arrived, debuting during halftime of ESPN's game between the New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles on "Monday Night Football."
Clocking in at just over two minutes, the trailer reveals more about the new main characters in the film, beginning with Rey (Daisy Ridley), a scavenger searching the remains of fallen spacecraft on the desert world of Jakku.
In a voice-over a woman asks Rey, "Who are you?"
"I'm no one," she replies...
Next, rogue stormtrooper Finn (John Boyega), who just defected from The First Order -- the evil faction that rose from the ashes of the Galactic Empire -- questions his own being.
"I was raised to do one thing. But I’ve got nothing to fight for," he says as his Tie Fighter crash lands in the Jakku desert.
Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), the saga's new masked bad guy (who wields a very volatile-looking lightsaber and is obsessed with Darth Vader), is then heard for the first time.
“Nothing will stand in our way,” he says, holding up the burned mask of Vader, last seen on a funeral pyre on the planet Endor. “I will finish what you started.”
Rey and Finn are then seen aboard the Millennium Falcon, where she asks Han Solo (Harrison Ford) if all the stories and tales she's heard about the Old Republic, the Empire and the Rebellion actually happened.
"It's true," Han replies. "All of it. The dark side... the Jedi. They're real."
Following some epic battles between the forces of good and evil on a handful of new planets, it all concludes with that same unseen woman -- a woman who we presume to be that of Maz Kanata (Lupita Nyong'o) -- saying, "The force -- it's calling to you."
More action follows, ending with what promises to be the film's big lightsaber duel, before she adds, "Just let it in."
The official poster for the film was released on Sunday with the announcement for the trailer's premiere, and the new one-sheet made headlines because Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) doesn't appear on it.
He does, however, (contrary to popular belief) make a brief appearance in the trailer. The last of the Jedi makes a blink-and-you-missed-it appearance at the 1:40 mark in a frame that was seen in the last trailer. No new footage here, but he does appear in it.
