The Star Wars Twitter account had already hinted that the trailer would be revealed today (28 November) and now, the first clip from the new film has been unveiled online.
The minute and a half long clip features a handful of the movie’s character, following a rather ominous voiceover introduction, which begins: “There has been an awakening... Have you felt it?”
John Boyega, one of the film’s hotly-tipped cast members, stars in the clip, dressed as a stormtrooper and looking panicked.

While the voice which presides over the clip is currently unidentified, there's already been plenty of speculation over whether it could be a certain Mr Benedict Cumberbatch.
As expected, the trailer has sent Twitter into overdrive, with many excited fans sharing their thoughts on the clip.
'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' is due for release in December 2015, and director JJ Abrams has remained keen to keep the plot a secret and the film's full title was revealed just weeks ago.

That voice in THE FORCE AWAKENS trailer sounds like Andy Serkis. I can see why people think its Benedict Cumberbatch though.
— Husain Sumra (@hsumra) November 28, 2014The voice over in the Star Trek trailer certainly sounds like Benedict Cumberbatch...
— Lola Willis (@LolaEWillis) November 28, 2014Guys, Benedict Cumberbatch doesn't have to be in EVERYTHING. It's Max Von Sydow.
