The trailer, which was revealed to Disney fans at the Star Wars Celebration convention in Chicago was attended by director JJ Abrams, who spoke alongside a few cast members.

He said: “This movie is about this new generation, what they’ve inherited, the light and the dark, and are they ready?”

Abrams revealed he was able to piece together unused footage from 2017’s The Last Jedi to continue Princess Leia’s story, played by the late Carrie Fisher.

In the trailer, the voice of Luke (Mark Hamill) says to Rey that “no-one’s ever really gone”.
