The most important thing on TV this week lasted only two and a half minutes. I've actually avoided this topic because of the massive disappointment that were the Star Wars prequels of 1999 - 2005. But, after watching the trailer that aired during Monday Night Football, the 80s kid in me is almost giddy. In case you missed it, take a look:

 

Now, I don't geek out often, and we already knew that we'd see Han Solo and Chewbacca from the previous trailer that was released this past Spring.

But, I'll tell you what got me about this trailer - at about the 1:20 mark when the familiar music builds as ships buzz past, light sabers tear through the night, and that half second of Princess Leia. That was everything.

Nobody knows if the movie will be good yet, but the trailer alone should win an award.

What do you think? Are you excited for Star Wars: The Force Awakens?
