10 Things to Note in the First Trailer for Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens

3. The Voiceover

“There has been an awakening. Have you felt it? The Dark side…and the light.” This is very intriguing, and is one of the few things in this teaser trailer which gives us any sort of vague idea what to expect from Star Wars Episode VII’s plot.

Could it be that there have been no Jedi and Sith for the past 30 years, and that now both sides are once again rising? That doesn’t explain what’s happened to Luke Skywalker of course, or why he hasn’t created a New Jedi Order. There are countless rumours doing the rounds which really confuse any theories we can come up with here, but “The Force Awakens” subtitle is making more sense now at least! More to the point, whose voice is this? Max von Syndow? Andy Serkis? Uh, Benedict Cumberbatch?
