With those words, the first Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser launched what has become a year-long buildup of excitement and fan frenzy.

Disney/Lucasfilm Stormtroopers blast a flamethrower in the new “Star Wars” trailer.

Kylo Ren, who is played by “Girls” star Adam Driver, receives a little more exposure in the teaser released on the “Star Wars” Facebook page Thursday. The new clip contains the Supreme Leader Snoke’s voice but his appearance continues to remain a mystery.

“Even you have never faced such a test”, Snoke replies.

Some explosions that put some serious fear in the eyes of Rey (Daisy Ridley) and Finn (John Boyega).

The Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer also shows one of the heroes, Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), as he does hit best to combat the Dark Side.

The app is supposed to work if Star Wars is mentioned anywhere in the content. And though some find the app to be “a bit overzealous”, it could not have come at a more flawless time, as major spoilers were potentially leaked earlier this week by star Mark Hamill on Twitter.

Set to the famous Imperial March tune, the clip features the familiar faces of Han Solo and Chewbacca as well as new leads Rey and Finn.

Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens has an impressive cast, which also includes original star Harrison Ford, Andy Serkis and Game of Thrones’ Gwendoline Christie.

In other “Force Awakens” news, the film recently received a PG-13 rating in the USA for “sci-fi action violence”. While in the United Kingdom the film will be released on the 17th of December.

As for Maz, “Star Wars” fans have been pouring over footage from the trailer that showcases her pirate castle. However: “At a certain point, as the layman, you can’t see how it can get any cooler”, she added.
