Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 10 Major Questions From The New Trailer

10. Who's Piloting The Millennium Falcon?

On the basis of all the information and footage that's been released so far, concerns that the new Star Wars would focus a little too much on the old (very, very old) guard over the fresh cool young characters appear to be unfounded. The returning likes of Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford appear to give connective tissue to the Original Trilogy than anything else. In which case, can we be sure that it's Han Solo and Chewie flying the Millennium Falcon during the iconic ship's appearance in this and the previous trailer? Last time we saw her the Falcon was commandeered by Lando Calrissian to help halt the construction of the second Death Star at the end of Return Of The Jedi. Nice though it would be to see the return of Billy Dee Williams in The Force Awakens, his presence on the cast hasn't been mentioned anywhere. Rumours have been pointing to Oscar Isaac's character, Poe Dameron, filling a Solo-esque role in this new film €“ maybe the hotshot X-Wing pilot will get to show off his skills in a more weighty craft?
