Even the stars of 'Star Wars' can't handle the new trailer

Posted

If you think you're excited about the new trailer for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," imagine what it must be like for the stars of the movie to see it the first time.

Actually, you don't have to imagine. 

Two of the film's stars, John Boyega and Daisy Ridley, watched the trailer with millions of other people when it debuted Monday night. They filmed their reactions.

Ridley, who set an alarm to watch, was moved to tears as she watched. 

Boyega also had an emotional response, but it was pretty much the polar opposite of Ridley's.

And hundreds of other fans of the movie have been posting their reactions to the new trailer as well.

"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" opens nationwide Dec. 17. Tickets are on sale now for theaters, including a pair of Dec. 17 showings at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center.
