The best reactions over the new Star Wars trailer

Millions of Star Wars fans around the world were sent into delirium when the new trailer for The Force Awakens was released on Tuesday morning (Aug 20, Singapore time).

The 2 mins 35 seconds-long clip gave fans a clearer peek into the background story behind the highly-anticipated seventh installment of the inter-galactic sci-fi saga, which is helmed by Star Trek director JJ Abrams.

Some began poking holes in the plot of the new movie, where it seems everyone has forgotten about the Jedi and the Sith:

 

 

 

 

Others started complaining about the use of X-Wings and Tie fights already, prompting this countering tweet:

 

 

With the major hype going on around him, one guy who has never seen a single Star Wars film (shock, horror!) felt a little left out.

 

 

There, there.

Finally, one guy wondered what the Star Wars universe would be like if Qui-Gon Jinn, played by Liam Neeson in Episode I, hadn't set the wheels of fate in motion:
