Yesterday, we reported that the Disney Channel is airing a newsneak previewofStar Wars: The Force Awakensduring tonight’s episode ofGirl Meets Worldat 8:30 PM ET. As it turns out, Disney XD UK aired its own preview earlier today, which features small bits of new footage featuring heroes Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Rey (Daisy Ridley), Finn (John Boyega) and Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac). We also get a better look at the villainous General Hux (Domhnall Gleeson) as he fires at an unidentified ship. The brief clip features two intriguing shots, with both Rey and Finn saying “I can do this” while sitting in the cockpits of two unidentified ships.
Last month, a newChewbaccaTopps trading card featured an interesting image of both Rey an Chewie piloting theMillennium Falcon. We also saw Rey sitting in the Falcon cockpit in thebehind-the-scenesvideo that debuted at Comic Con this summer. There have been rumors that this iconic ship isn’t actually owned byHan Soloanymore, but that has never been confirmed.
This video also gives us a closer look at one of the numerous alien creatures fromStar Wars: The Force Awakens. While we don’t know this creature’s name, or where he/she comes from, it was one of the many unspecified aliens seen in theVanity Fairphoto shoot that debuted back in May. This footage also represents the first time we’ve seen Poe Dameron speak. Not only that, he delivers one of the most iconic lines of dialogue in the entire franchise. While it isn’t the most extensive sneak peek, there is plenty of new footage to check out.
It isn’t certain if this will be the same video that will air duringGirl Meets Worldtonight on the Disney Channel, or if fans will be treated to even more footage later on tonight. This preview comes after an abundance ofStar Wars: The Force Awakensnews over the past few days, including theTV trailerthat aired last night on ABC, photos and plenty of plot details. We’ll keep you posted if the Disney Channel footage is different from the promo you’re able to check out below.
