The new trailer for 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens,' is causing a stir in both good and bad ways. Some folks are happy while some are complaining about the look of a certain lightsaber; others are wondering if the narrative voice in the background is that of Andy Serkis.
It is quite difficult to tell if the background voice is indeed that of Andy Serkis, the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit actor. However, sources with information close to the project are claiming it is. We do know that he's a cast member, but his role has yet to be revealed to the public.
HitFix, a popular publication on the Internet, claims that they are 100 percent certain the voice is that of Serkis and that he will have a pivotal role in the movie. The report went on to claim that Serkis will not have a lot of screen time, which gives us the impression that he might be playing an old Jedi Master who's main purpose is to provide guidance.
Fans should take this as a rumor for now, as HitFix failed mention where it got the information from. For all we know, the voice could be that of someone else entirely, but not to worry, fans will get the chance to find out when the movie releases.
'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' will kick off on Dec. 18, 2015. Several cast members of previous films will reprise their roles though we are not sure of their purpose and if they will have enough screen time to keep fans happy.
Maybe Disney is aiming to push the new characters instead of focusing too much on the old. That would be a good thing though because old characters are already well established in popular culture media.
What about the story?
Seriously, we have no idea what the new Star Wars is about. From what we have seen from the teaser trailer, it is clear the Millennium Falcon will return, and obviously, there's a Sith Lord who is bound to cause some serious problem. Furthermore, there's a black Stormtrooper; no one has ever seen that before.
