The Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser is finally out!

Several websites reported in the last couple of weeks that the teaser would play in select cinemas today (Black Friday). However, a few days ago they also reported it was also going to be shown online.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the seventh installment in the franchise and first in this saga is directed by J.J. Abrams and will be out in theaters on December 18th, 2015
