A New Force Awakens Trailer Snuck Onto The Star Wars Korean YouTube Channel.

Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens is now just three months away, and now - after seeing that full-length trailer - we could not be more excited about what director JJ Abrams is going to do with this most beloved of universes now that George Lucas has stepped aside.

A lot of the footage is stuff we've seen before, but that opening shot, which gives us a better look at the Imperial army, is new. And is someone stealing a TIE Fighter in that third scene? Watch below and speculate.

After many months of waiting, the official poster for Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens has arrived and it looks just like you'd expect, albeit with a few more characters than usual. On the poster you can find Kylo Ren, Poe Dameron, Rey, Finn, the loveable BB-8, Captain Phasma, and Maz Kanataand, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, R2-D2 and C-3PO. Strangely enough, Luke Skywalker appears to be missing, but we probably put that towards JJ Abrams' usual 'Mystery Box' shenanigans.

The UK release has just been shifted forward by a day, so now the UK will see The Force Awakens opening on December 17, the same day as the Australian release and a day ahead of the North American unveiling.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailers, news and rumors

 The first three Star Wars films - A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi - are legendary, but Lucas' prequel trilogy - The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith - suffered from the hype and burden of expectation.

But that's the past. The future of Star Wars is looking brighter after wonderful opening trailers and high hopes that selling the franchise to film giants Disney will rejuvenate it for a new generation.
