Star Wars fans can barely contain their excitement after the trailer for the next film in the space saga was released.
The footage from Star Wars: The Last Jedi was unveiled at half-time during the US National Football League (NFL) game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Chicago Bears in Chicago, and was shared on the franchise’s Twitter page shortly afterwards.

The 154-second trailer gave fans a glimpse of what might be in store in the highly-anticipated instalment, which picks up from where The Force Awakens, released in December 2015, ended.
And it seems fans of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) could be in for a treat, with the teaser suggesting he plays a major part in the movie after being absent for much of the previous film.
Other main characters including Rey (Daisy Ridley) and Finn (John Boyega) are also featured in the trailer.
On Twitter, one fan described it as “the greatest trailer ever made”, while others said they would be booking their cinema tickets in preparation for the film’s release.
This is the trailer we were looking for…. the greatest trailer ever made
