So, last night the new trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens was unleashed upon the world and it was good. Very, very good. But as well as excited fans freaking out over every little detail (did you spot Jakku? Famously the site of the climactic battle between the Rebels and the Empire? Just checking), the Star Wars stars themselves were just as pumped.

Daisy Ridley and John Boyega (Rey and Finn in the movie) posted videos of themselves watching the trailer on Instagram, with Ridley nearly breaking into tears and Boyega jumping behind the sofa in sheer excitement. (Proving also that jumping behind the sofa is a classy, versatile move and not just something you do during scary movies.)

Staying in a little b'n'b with my friend... Set an alarm to watch the trailer... My friend filmed my reaction. Totally emotional seeing it for the first time and so so so incredibly awed to be part of this incredible legacy #starwars #theforceawakens

We'd love to know how the rest of the cast is feeling as well, but until then let's just, uh, watch the trailer again? Yeah. Yeah, that seems like a good idea.
