Later in the trailer, we're treated to this stunning shot of a group of spaceships (a new design that we haven't seen onscreen before), in a rough line formation, flying directly at an army of hulking walkers.

The Force Awakens' teaser also featured a shot of an organised spaceship attack, with Poe Dameron leading the charge in an assault on The First Order's troops.

Both shots feel and look very similar, from the speed at which the ships are travelling, to the red dust that the new ships are kicking up almost mirroring the water enveloping the X-Wings.

However, since the new ships are going up against a group of powerful, intimidating walkers, we suspect they may not fare quite as well as Poe and his team did in their attack.
