Right, so you've had two days now to watch The Last Jedi trailer on a continuous loop and dissect every single detail and try to extrapolate plot and character details.

Our own Star Wars expert Christ Taylor noted similarities between this new trailer and scenes from trailers and teasers for The Force Awakens.

Someone -- specifically, YouTube user Morphin Bad -- has actually gone to the trouble of putting together a clip reel that shows us those visual comparisons so we can soak them in with our own eyes.

As The Last Jedi trailer unspools on the right, clips mostly taken from The Force Awakens' teasers and trailers (with a handful of exceptions taken straight from the film), have been edited together and presented on the left.

While it's not exactly a one-to-one comparison, it's still a gentle reminder of why this new trailer feels familiar -- almost certainly on purpose -- and why we feel very, very excited and please December just get here already.
