New ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Teaser Finds Rey Blasting Baddies

Every generation has its story, and here is a new 30-second glimpse at a new generation’s Star Wars tale.

A new TV spot for Star Wars: The Force Awakens premiered on Twitter on Sunday, surprising fans once again after Friday’s Japanese trailer. (Watch the new spot below.) The new promo features a few new shots and a voice-over that seems to be spoken by Lupita Nyong’o, who through motion capture plays the CGI character Maz Kanata.

“I have lived long enough to see the same eyes in different people,” she says, as the video cuts between shots of our heroes’ eyes, to really hammer the point home. “I see your eyes, I know your eyes.”

As with most other promo videos, this one focuses mostly on Rey (Daisy Ridley), Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Finn (John Boyega) and Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), and largely features footage that we’ve already seen. But we do get a few new glimpses of an aerial battle between the Resistance and the First Order (this generation’s Rebellion and Empire), as well as a pretty sweet shot of Rey firing a blaster at Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) and handling others with her trusty staff.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens, as you are likely aware, hits theaters on December 18.
