Kylo Ren Featured in Dark New Star Wars: The Force Awakens Teaser

The latest Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser features the film's main villain (or at least the one we've seen the most of), Kylo Ren, in without a doubt the darkest teaser yet. There's a few new shots, some new dialogue, and a link between the still unseen Supreme Leader Snoke (Andy Serkis, heard here in voice over) and Adam Driver's Ren. Have a watch, then we'll hit a few of the new shots below:

  • First, did you notice how this teaser opens with a riff on John Williams famous "Imperial March"? Pretty awesome.
  • As in the very first teaser, we open with voiceover from Andy Serkis's Supreme Leader Snoke, saying "There's been an awakening, have you felt it?" Only now we find out that he's no addressing us, of course, but Kylo Ren, who answers "Yes." Snoke goes on to say that "Even you have never faced such a test."
  • While the above voice over is happening, we watch as Ren knocks Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) out with a single flick of his wrist, using the dark side of the Force, no doubt.
  • At 32 seconds in, we get Dameron's first bit of dialogue this far, as he shouts "All teams, give it everything you've got" as he leads an X-wing squadron in a dogfight against TIE Fighters.
  • At 43 seconds in, see Han and Chewy in action, with Han firiing off a shot from his trusty blaster, which apparently has been given a bit of a power upgrade, considering the Stormtrooper he hits flies backwards.
  • It ends with the fateful light saber duel between Finn (John Boyega) and Ren. 

All in all, a wallop of a teaser. What did you think?
