With the latest "Star Wars" film about to be released on December 15, the movie's producers have released the much anticipated trailer and poster to the film on Monday.

The new trailer gives us our latest look at the most anticipated film of the year, which brings us back to the galaxy far, far away.

It focused on the two new main characters of the series in Adam Driver's Kylo Ren and Daisy Ridley's Rey as well as old favorites like Mark Hamill's Luke Skywalker and Carrie Fisher's Princess Leia.

"I've seen this raw strength only once before. It didn't scare me enough then," Skywalker says as shots of Rey using the Force are shown. "It does now."

The trailer also includes shots of battles taking place on new planets and in space, and ends with the evil Ren seemingly reaching out his hand to Rey.

"I need someone to show me my place in all this," Rey says as the trailer closes.

The trailer garnered a big reaction on social media and racked up more than 300,000 views on YouTube in roughly 30 minutes.
