Next, what appears to be a cloaked
Luke placing his hand on R2-D2.
My sister has it.
Two unknown people – one, presum-
ably, Leia – exchange a lightsaber.
The voice-over is taken word-for-word
from a conversation between Luke and
Leia in “Return of the Jedi,” but here one
new line is added:
You have that power, too.
From there, viewers get a big action
sequence: Poe Dameron leading an
X-wing fleet, Kylo Ren swinging his saber,
Rey and Finn and BB-8 fleeing an explo-
sion, a Stormtrooper army at a new impe-
rial base, the new Chrometrooper, and,
finally, a dogfight between a TIE fighter
(with a new chromed-out pilot) and the
Millennium Falcon before the big reveal:
Chewie ...
Cut to Harrison Ford’s 70-something
Han Solo and Chewbacca, with nary a
gray hair.
... we’re home!
And ... scene!
FULL-LENGTH TRAILER:
RELEASED OCT. 19, 2015
The final trailer opens with a couple
shots of Rey – scavenging a ship, walking
the surface of Jakku with BB-8, working
on her speeder. Then a voice of pirate
Maz Kanata (Lupita Nyong’o) asks: Who
are you? To which Rey responds: I’m no
one.
Next, a shot of a Stormtrooper fleet,
followed by Finn, in a full Stormtrooper
suit, removing his helmet. Then a Finn
voice-over begins:
I was raised to do one thing …
We see a TIE fighter get shot out of the
sky, followed by Finn, now in regular
“Nothing will
stand in our way.
I will finish what
you started.”
—Kylo Ren, in the final trailer
for “Star Wars: Episode VII –
The Force Awakens,”
released Oct. 19, 2015
clothes, standing on Jakku.
… but I’ve got nothing to fight for.
Next, the camera zooms in on Kylo
Ren, standing on the bridge of a large
imperial ship. Now, Ren:
Nothing will stand in our way …
The melted Vader helmet again
appears.
... I will finish what you started.
It then cuts to what appears to be Ren
using the Force to control Poe Dameron,
who has a look of pain and agony on his
face. Cue the music and the Millennium
Falcon evading attacking TIE fighters
Rey: There were stories about what
happened ...
Solo: It’s true ...
Finn and Rey and Solo are on a ship –
likely the Falcon – having a conversation.
Solo: ... All of it.
The Falcon makes a jump to hyper-
speed, and the screen cuts to some First
Order baddies, led by Ren, on a dark field
in the rain. Then, a sequence of battle
shots as Solo continues: ... the Dark Side
... the Jedi ... they’re real.
Kanata: The Force. It’s calling to you.
More of the action and battle
sequence, and then viewers at long last
see Leia (Carrie Fisher) embracing Solo.
The final shot is Finn drawing what
looks like Luke Skywalker’s blue light-
saber from “Star Wars” as Ren walks
toward him, drawing his own saber and
preparing to battle.
Kanata: Just let it in.
And with that, “Star Wars” fans have all
they’re going to get before “The Force
Awakens” arrives Dec. 18.
It can’t get here soon enough.
