One of the most anticipated releases of the year is definitely “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” which is supposed to revive the “Star Wars” franchise. It will be out in theaters this December, which means that Disney will probably take its time before releasing a new trailer, with new footage.

Until then, we have an international teaser to keep us going. It’s not exactly earth-shattering exciting, but it does include a first look at The First Order Army, which seems to be the name for the force we knew as The Imperial Army from previous installments.

It lasts a little over a second, but for fans, these seconds can make all the difference. With a release as hyped as this “Star Wars,” every second counts.

“The Force Awakens” is only the first in a series of planned films based on this universe, including standalones. Disney will be releasing about 1 a year starting with 2016, but so far, it’s working hard to keep the specifics on them under wraps.

The same goes for “The Force Awakens,” which will also bring back franchise regulars Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher. Daisy Ridley, Lupita Nyong’o, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Gwendoline Christie, Domhnall Gleeson and Adam Driver also star.
