STAR WARS: EPISODE VII – THE FORCE AWAKENS Chinese Trailer may be the best yet

Sometimes foreign versions of movie trailers have a few new scenes in them, and sometimes they’re like a completely different trailer entirely. The new Chinese version of the STAR WARS: EPISODE VII – THE FORCE AWAKENS trailer is definite treat, as it has several new shots, new dialogue, even completely different music than the other trailers that broke the internet. Things worthy of note here – new scene featuring Han Solo and Chewbacca piloting the Millennium Falcon, more shots of Stormtroopers (I’m sorry, FLAMEtroopers) destroying a village, and the Falcon crashing… let’s just say there’s a lot of great stuff in there. Oh, and Lu Han at the beginning is a huge teen idol over there (think Justin Bieber), in case you’re wondering why he’s introducing it. Take a gander at the new trailer below, and after watching it twenty or thirty times, tell us your thoughts in the comments. STAR WARS: EPISODE VII – THE FORCE AWAKENS is directed by J.J. Abrams and stars John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Lupita Nyong’o, Gwendoline Christie, Crystal Clarke, Pip Andersen, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow. Original trilogy stars Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker are also featured.

UPDATED – Here’s a version courtesy of Jared Seaich in which the Chinese subtitles have been blurred out and U.S. titles are shown at the end:
