The Japanese get the best of everything.
Disney must think BB-8 will be a hit with international markets. A Japanese subtitled trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens hit YouTube early this morning, and along with lots of shots starring the lovable rolling droid (who may be the film's main hero), we get some intense scenes between Daisy Ridley's Rey and Adam Driver's Kylo Ren. One shot shows Ren holding his badass three bladed lightsaber up against Rey's throat. Also, C-3P0. Did you see him? There he is! And Leia. Cool! All this new footage comes as a surprise, as the trailer that debuted last month was supposed to be the last before the film opens on December 18. This is a way better surprise than those lame posters released this week.
