Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 10 Things Everybody Missed In The Trailer

10. Banthas

There's a lot to take in in the first shot of the trailer - Star Wars is back on Tatooine, John Boyega is a Stormtrooper, that creepy voice-over - so it's only natural less overt things would be missed. In the background there's some distinct objects that stand out from the rolling sand hills. Even in super high quality it's impossible to actually make out what they are, but given this is Tatooine the most obvious solution would be that these are banthas. The mounts of tusken raiders, the giant steeds have been seen littered across Tatooine's landscape in other films, most notably in the Return Of The Jedi Special Edition, and with a strong legacy from the original movie it's likely Abrams has snuck them into the new trilogy. Whether they'll just be background aliens, or bring their screeching riders with them (hopefully the latter) will have to wait for another trailer.
