The Dark Side rises in new “Star Wars”

Disney and Lucasfilm made a decision to offer a surprising Thanksgiving treat to Star Wars fans by releasing a brand-new TV commercial that feels more like a trailer.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is all set to release on 18th December amidst massive social media hype and desperate anticipation from fans.

Played by Adam Driver, the character appears to be following in Darth Vader’s footsteps given his similar appearance to the iconic antagonist and his red crossguard lightsaber. The trailer opens with images of Kylo Ren in a space ship and there is a voiceover with both Andy Serkis’ voice and Kylo Ren’s.

The extension also takes a few seconds to load, so the extra cautious will want to look away when they hit a new site rather than dive right in.

Some explosions that put some serious fear in the eyes of Rey (Daisy Ridley) and Finn (John Boyega). “Fight them.” Considering Finn’s advice is to run from the First Order, clearly the new heroes might need some encouragement to stand up against these new villains.

The minute-long trailer began with a focus on the highly anticipated film’s mysterious villain, Kylo Ren.

It shows a series of dramatic battle scenes, with huge explosions and warring Stormtroopers wielding flame-throwers.

Actor Harrison Ford has said the relationship between Star Wars’ Han Solo and Chewbacca is like that of “an old married couple”. Thought the new Star Wars trailer was just released Thursday morning on Facebook, it has already been viewed by fans over 2,000,000 times.
