7 Takeaways From The Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer

Luke, Han, and Leia may be absent from the new trailer, but one important player in the old Star Wars films is front and center: John Williams. Not only that, but the Academy Award-winning composer has given us some new music for the trailer, which was confirmed by the official Star Wars twitter page:

The goosebump-inducing triumphant and iconic Star Wars fanfare that blares at the end of the trailer is immediately familiar, but the music that comes before it is entirely new.

Say what you want about how bad the prequels were, but you can’t argue that Williams didn’t compose the hell out of those movies. He delivered some truly incredible pieces of music and I can’t wait to see what he’s got in store for us with The Force Awakens.
