By Kim Masters • • 3m ListenFans have been waiting for years for a new Star Wars movie worthy of the franchise. Disney has kept the newest installment, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, under very tight wraps, but today at the Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim, fans got a serious taste of what's to come.
A new teaser trailer features characters new and old, including a memorable one-line appearance from Harrison Ford and Chewbacca that had fans weeping and falling to their knees. The force certainly appears to be with Disney at the box office this year -- Marvel movies will rule this summer and the release of Star Wars in December could bring in more than $300 million opening weekend, which would break the $207 million record currently held by The Avengers.
