Star Wars: The Force Awakens - Every Image You Need To See

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is above and beyond 2015's most anticipated movie, the return of the beloved space fantasy franchise after a ten year hiatus, and a continuation of the original story believed wrapped up back in 1983's Return Of The Jedi. First announced when Disney acquired Lucasfilm in October 2012, it's a been a roller coaster ride as the seventh movie fans never thought would exist slowly moves into view, with the release date of 18th December 2015 edging ever closer. With J.J. Abrams in the director's chair, secrecy has been as tight as expected. But, like the Emperor with the Death Star II schematics, there's a distinct feeling anything "leaked" was really just part of some master scheme to get the Rebels (aka fans) even more excited that they already were. There was a smattering of tweets throughout the production, before a trailer dropped in late 2014, and since then the hype has only increased. Beyond the time setting (thirty years after Return Of The Jedi), little is currently known about the film. Leaked concept art suggests the backstories of some characters and points to some returning elements, but at the moment that's all wild speculation. Here's a collection of every major trailer screenshot, publicity image or official still, which will be updated as more arrive throughout the year.

The first ever Tweet from the production shows J.J. Abrams, Kathleen Kennedy and droid builders Lee Towersey and Oliver Steeples getting bossed around by R2-D2.

At least that's what it looks like.
