Watch the thrilling new Star Wars: Episode VII trailer

Star Wars.

Ready for another trip to a galaxy far, far away? At today's Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim, director J.J. Abrams unveiled a special treat: the second trailer for Star Wars: Episode VII.

Over a voiceover from Luke Skywalker, we see plenty of familiar images from the original trilogy, including R2-D2, Chewbacca, and the crushed helmet of Darth Vader. The trailer ends with a shot of Han Solo, capping off the nostalgia trip with the line "Chewie, we're home."

Star Wars: Episode VII hits theaters in December.
