Star Wars fans rejoiced at the familiar sound of Mark Hamill’s voice. Hamill’s monologue introduces the trailer for the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens (set to release on December 18), which gives a second glimpse into the film’s action-packed adventures.
Seamlessly blending the old with the new, Hamill’s monologue acts as a nod to his iconic Return of the Jedi speech about the intense power of the force in his family. As Darth Vader’s destroyed helmet glides across the screen as a reminder of the past, the symbolic passing of the lightsaber shows a new era has begun.
New faces such as John Boyega and Daisy Ridley are introduced while original cast members deliver a nostalgic message. Revered Han Solo and Chewbacca appear, and Han recites a sentiment felt by fans across the world: “Chewie, we’re home.”
The continuation of the Star Wars series (Episode VII, if you’re counting) assures the return of the original cast, including Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia, Harrison Ford as Han Solo and many others.
