One of the cruelest truths in the galaxy is that you only get to experience the splendor ofStar Wars for the first time once.

So for a little vicarious thrill, we invited our friend, Charles the hamster, to check out The Force Awakens trailer and see what he thinks -- and his reaction was priceless. The fur is strong with this one.

Charles is so full of childlike wonder that he can't even sit still. He hides under furniture because he's so afraid of the way his heart is rupturing with joy in a way he's never experienced. And he hasn't even seen an Ewok yet!

Charles comes courtesy of Westchester Rescued Hamster Haven, where you can adopt your own little jedi.
