The international teaser trailer for ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ was released yesterday and it got me really excited!

Something that I especially noticed was a new lightsaber. As you will see when you watch the trailer, it is different to the traditional Jedi weapon. I loved it when the theme tune kicked in and I saw the Millennium Falcon flying through what might have been Tatooine. But don’t...
