[Costello:] Millions of "Star Wars" fans are quite simply freaking out right now. Han Solo, Chewbacca, Princess Leia and a melted Darth Vader mask. All this and a whole lot more appeared in the new and long-awaited "Star Wars" trailer. Here's a look. ["
[Star Wars: The Force Awakens" Trailer) Costello:] I'm mesmerized by that, Nischelle Turner. It's just simple It's kind of cool, right?
[Nischelle Turner, Cnn Contributor:] Kind of? I mean, it's all the way cool. I'm ready, Carol. I was talking to Michaela and Brian Stelter on "NEW DAY" just a little bit ago. Michaela said, you know, I was on the fence until I saw the trailer. I wasn't. I was ready before I saw the trailer and now that I've seen it, I'm even more so. You know, it really did I think it was genius, No. 1, for them to release this trailer during Monday Night Football because it kind of gave an added excitement and also brought more eyeballs to the table. But it's already been viewed, this trailer, over 9 million times. People are really going gaga if I can say that gaga over the release of "Star Wars
[Vii:] The Force Awakens." I guess the fans are awakened if I can say that
[Costello:] They're not selling tickets already, are they?
[Turner:] They are. They started selling tickets last night online. A lot of the websites crashed because there was such interest. They are back up and running today, but you can see just the amount of people that have gone, trying to buy these tickets pre-sale. There's 58 days until the movie opens, but still there are so many tickets that are sold out already. They're actually already showing up on eBay. People are trying to resell them for hundreds of dollars.
[Costello:] I can't believe that. Why do you think people are so I mean, I watched "Star Wars", the original "Star Wars", because I'm old enough to watch the originals and I loved it, but it's cheesy if you watch it now. So, why are people so emotionally connected to these characters?
[Turner:] Well, because for movie lovers like me, it's because we love the movie, we love the franchise. You know, what this movie is doing is actually blending the old with the new. I mean, we did see in the trailer we saw Han Solo, we saw Princess Leia, and we And so that gives us the excitement of that. We saw Chewbacca. Who we did not see is Luke Skywalker. So everyone wants to see We know that Mark Hamill's in the movie. We were talking about this earlier as well. He is in the movie. We did not see him in the trailer. So the big question is, where is Luke Skywalker? We also saw John Boyega, who you see right there, he plays Finn. We saw him with the light saber, we saw him go up against Kylo Ren, who basically is going to be the new dark side, we think, because we saw him talking to the helmet, saying I will finish what you started. So we're wondering Is he a Jedi? There's so many questions, there's so many things that need to be answered in the film.
[Costello:] Luke Skywalker is in the melted Darth Vader mask.
[Turner:] Oh, Carol.
