Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 6 New Things To Learn From The Trailer

Nothing remains hidden for long...

The devil is in the detail. The world has finally been treated to the first teaser trailer for next year's return to the Star Wars universe, and while the excruciatingly short snippet of film hasn't revealed any huge details like character names, narrative direction or who the bloody Sith Lord is, there's still plenty of meat to be picked off the bone. This is Star Wars after all, and everything means something; even if it at first appears unimportant. It's still an entire year away, but that's not going to stop practically all forms of media across the globe from scrutinising over every single frame of the trailer, and for good reason; there's countless reveals that can lead to copious amounts of speculation and theorising. If the Rebel/Imperial war of the original trilogy ended with Return Of The Jedi, why are the two factions still in existence? How is the Millennium Falcon still in once piece and why do lightsabers now have fancy crossbars? They're all valid questions for any Star Wars nut, and they're all going to be answered with a certain degree of logic here. Read on to find out whatever new things you may have missed from this year's biggest trailer.
