New Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer has some stunning new shots, and Chewbacca

'Hope was not lost today... it is found.'

The Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer that dropped last month was expected to be the last, but today we’ve been bestowed another (sort-of), an ‘International trailer’ that is a reworking of the last but comes with a few extra tidbits.

We hear more from Rey in the two-minute montage, see her threatened by Kylo Ren with his cross guard lightsaber, catch a glimpse of Princess Leia with C-3PO and get several beautiful vistas of alien planets.

The trailer ends with what sounds like Lupita Nyong’o, whose character Maz Kanata says: “Hope was not lost today... it is found.”

The BB-8 droid also features heavily, and there are lots of shots of Rey exploring a shipwreck in Jakku that are very reminiscent of Luke Skywalker’s early days on Tatooine.

Ren’s lightsaber appears very crackly in the trailer, suggesting it is somehow unstable or has been made using unorthodox methods.

This probably genuinely is the last new footage we’ll get before the film's release, but there’s not long to wait now, with JJ Abrams' sequel hitting cinemas on 17 December in the UK and 18 December in the US.

A lucky few will be able to see it on the 16th, but only if, quite bizarrely, you book onto an Air France flight.
