The two minutes and 23 seconds long trailer introduces us to some new characters, some old, but most notably is the distinct absence of Luke Skywalker, which has Star Wars fans trying to second guess what may have happened to the son of Vader.

Has Luke gone to the dark side? Watch the trailer and let us know what you think...
