New 'Star Wars' teaser, cast information revealed at event 

The force won’t officially awaken until December, but Star Wars fans got an early glimpse on Thursday with the debut of a spooky new teaser trailer for “Star Wars- The Force Awakens.”

The clip features the wreckage of a star destroyer, X-Wing battles, the Millennium Falcon in action, and a first look at Harrison Ford as Han Solo.

“Chewie, we’re home,” Solo says at the close of the brief teaser, prompting the audience to scream and applaud.

Die—hard fans packed the main hall at the Anaheim Convention Center for the event known as Star Wars Celebration. They wore costumes and wielded light sabers as they watched director J.J. Abrams and producer and Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy kick off the four—day event.

Franchise cast newcomers Oscar Isaac, Daisy Ridley and John Boyega surprised the audience with appearances and regaled the rapt fans with anecdotes about the highly anticipated film set to hit theaters Dec. 18.
