And, true enough, the new trailer finally gives us a clear glimpse of the old Sith Lord himself – although still only the back of his head. What, is his face under construction too?

Also worth a mention is the amazing samurai-style warrior, who ups the Stormtrooper death count considerably. His name's Chirrut Imwe, he's not a Jedi but a "spiritual warrior" – oh, and he's blind too. Stormtroopers really are rubbish, aren't they?
