A new trailer for “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” materialized Friday, this time on the Walt Disney Studios Japan YouTube page, and it is full of images and moments that haven’t been included in earlier teasers and trailers for the hotly anticipated movie.
In one moment, Daisy Ridley‘s character Rey and John Boyega‘s Finn introduce themselves to each other, and there are more shots of the lovable droid BB-8. The trailer also includes a great deal more footage of the villain Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), particularly a tantalizing shot of him threatening Rey with his lightsaber.
The trailer continues the mythical vibe established by the most recent preview, which took the Internet by storm last month, and it drives home the point that Rey is likely the Luke Skywalker of the new trilogy. By the way, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) himself is still a no-show. Chewbacca, Leia, Han Solo and C-3PO all are present, however.

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” opens Dec. 18.
