A New Hype: Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer Drops and the Internet Goes Wild

Don’t be alarmed; that sound you hear is the happy tears of millions of Star Wars fans who just watched the new trailer for The Force Awakens.

The seventh film in the Star Wars franchise is one of the most highly-anticipated movies in recent memory; so much so, that when tickets were available to pre-order today, the ticket websites crashed.

But during Monday Night Football the trailer finally dropped.

And the internet kinda blew up:
