The highly anticipated final trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released Monday night, featuring a few words from Han Solo, lightsabers, and Darth Vader's salvaged helmet. Tickets for the film went on sale a few hours before the trailer's debut, and so many fans were clamoring for seats, Fandango, AMC Theaters, and other websites suffered from loading issues and site outages. Directed by J.J. Abrams, Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be in theaters Dec. 18. Catherine Garcia
