It’s either a heart-warming way of rewarding your loyal fans on a regular basis, or a sadistic form of torture. Of course we’re talking about the drip-drip leaking of tiny trailers for the new Star Wars film.

The most recent offering was exactly 15 seconds of Force Awakens footage (only some of it completely new), released on Instagram of all places. Here it is.

There has been an awakening… #StarWars #TheForceAwakens

That first sweeping shot of those fascist-looking baddies was leaked a few weeks ago, whipping Star Wars fans into a frenzy of speculation about the evil “First Order”.

But the shots of Daisy Ridley (who plays Rey) and John Boyega (Finn) are new. And here’s why they’re exciting.

1. John Boyega’s got a blue light saber!

We can’t stress enough how much these three words…

…totally thrill Star Wars fans.

2. The RELEVANCE of John Boyega having a blue light saber

First let’s just deal with the fact he has a light saber at all.

Yep, that’s a pretty mind-boggling mix of allegiances he’s got there.

But of course if you think blue light sabers, then you think Luke Skywalker’s blue light saber. At least you do if you care about Star Wars at all.

Maybe the reason Luke doesn’t have his blue light saber any more needs a little extra explaining.

This all happened during the epic light saber battle between Luke and his father Darth Vader during The Empire Strikes Back. Don’t worry, Luke got a fully functioning robotic hand as a replacement.

3. The blue light saber has made everything cooler

Even the weird-looking three-way red light saber that other guy is holding.

4. We’ve got more of an idea about Kylo Ren

Everyone reckons this hooded chap is a character called Kylo Ren, played by Adam Driver. We didn’t know much about Mr Ren – who seems a tad ambiguous – but now we do know he’s got a reason to face off with Finn.

5. Daisy Ridley’s character remains an enigma

Although that won’t stop people guessing about Rey’s part in all this.

While one thing is now certain.

That’s BB-8 the wheely droid who’s been popping up in all the other trailers. Which leads us on to…

6. BB-8 gets more adorable every time we see him

Although he’s beginning to get a little bit ubiquitous in these teasers for some people’s liking…
