I&#8217;m going to assume you&#8217;ve all seen the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.entertainmentearth.com\/news\/2014\/11\/28\/see-for-yourself-the-force-is-strong-with-this-one\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">first official trailer for <em>Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/em><\/a>. If not, please watch now before proceeding because we&#8217;re about to break this down for you.<\/p>\n<p>All, if not most, of this is speculation right now. The trailer opens on a shot of Tatooine desert with a Sith-like narrator saying: &#8220;There has been an awakening. Have you felt it?&#8221; No confirmation yet on who the narrator is (actor or character) but we think it&#8217;s either Andy Serkis or Max von Sydow.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Next, we see John Boyega in a Stormtrooper outfit sans helmet in Tatooine desert. He&#8217;s visibly sweating and distressed &#8211; a crash landing or chase perhaps? We believe this will be early on in the film.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a great looking R2 unit, speeding along on Tatooine.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Confirmation of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.entertainmentearth.com\/news\/2014\/09\/27\/first-look-star-wars-episode-vii-chrome-trooper\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">new Stormtrooper helmets<\/a>! It looks like they&#8217;re being deployed, could this be how John Boyega&#8217;s character landed on Tatooine? And is he the Stormtrooper this shot focuses on?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Daisy Ridley on a speeder (still Tatooine)! Many speculate that she is playing the daughter of Han and Leia (not Jaina since this film does not follow the Expanded Universe) or a Tatooine local. She&#8217;s clearly going somewhere in a hurry. She also has a Tusken Raider staff on her speeder.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Oscar Isaac as a Rebel pilot, looking a little worse for wear. The following shot is 3 T-65 X-Wing Fighters flying over what appears to be a body of water with mountains behind them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The narrator speaks again, simply stating: &#8220;The Dark Side&#8230;&#8221; We see a Sith walking in a forest covered by snow at night. They ignite their red lightsaber, a ragged blade that looks like a broadsword! The flickering blade makes us think this is not a uniform lightsaber. No confirmation on who this character is, whether Adam Driver or Domhnall Gleeson or perhaps even Lupita Nyong&#8217;o!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Before the final scene of the trailer, the narrator finishes his previous statement with &#8220;&#8230;and the Light.&#8221; Then we get the most exciting scene yet: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.entertainmentearth.com\/news\/2014\/09\/12\/star-wars-episode-vii-millenium-falcon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Millennium Falcon<\/a>, accompanied by John Williams&#8217; familiar theme, flying away from TIE Fighters and doing some really cool barrel rolls in, yet again, the Tatooine desert.<\/p>\n<p>Logo with <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.entertainmentearth.com\/news\/2014\/11\/06\/star-wars-episode-vii-change-title-card\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Force Awakens<\/a><\/em> title.<\/p>\n<p><em>Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens<\/em>, directed by J.J.
