Star Wars director JJ Abrams and producer Kathleen Kennedy were at the Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim, California, where they delighted fans with a new teaser for The Force Awakens, the new Star Wars film that will be released in December this year.

Fans got to see the cast, old and new (almost all of them anyway – Harrison Ford is still recovering from his plane crash earlier in March, JJ told us) and hear insights into the film that will come out around Christmas.
