Star Wars brings out another trailer, the internet explodes

So Star Wars just brought out its second teaser trailer for the new Force Awakens movie, and with that Twitter went into meltdown. But it’s ok, Chewie’s back!

First up, here are two trailer responses. One featuring Matthew McConaughey’s incredibly emotional reaction.

Then there’s the ever-brilliant Lego variant.

A few memes poking fun at the new lightsaber:
