The new Star Wars film, which will be the first since "Revenge of the Sith" in 2005, is scheduled to be released on December 18, 2015.

The poster and announcement are the biggest releases for the movie since April, when a new trailer dropped. Since then, there hasn't been much news for Star Wars superfans. The new trailer is likely to be the last before the movie's premiere.

The official Star Wars Instagram account posted a clip of the trailer in advance of the Monday Night Football debut.
