JJ Abrams's X-Wing Reveal Gives Us Great Hope for 'Star Wars: Episode VII' (VIDEO)

There's an exciting charity opportunity coming in the form of the Star Wars: Force for Change, a UNICEF-affiliated movement that will allow for some lucky fans to come to the set of "Star Wars: Episode VII" and actually be an extra in the movie. While charity is cool and all, what's really been making waves are the videos that "Star Wars: Episode VII" director J.J. Abrams has been steadily releasing, giving us tantalizing tastes of the new space epic. And this newest one is a doozy.



In the video, Abrams is standing in front of some kind of structure. As he continues his speech (you can also win a chance to see the film early), the camera slowly zooms out, showing you the massive spaceship he's standing in front of: what appears to be a slightly re-designed version of the famous Rebel starship the X-Wing. That's right, y'all: this is going to be original recipe "Star Wars." And we love it a lot. (We also love that tiny little robot that shoots across the bottom of the frame; three rebel cheers for practical robots!)



"Star Wars: Episode VII," which stars John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill and Lupita Nyong'o, will open on December 18^th, 2015. If you happen to be one of the lucky so-and-sos to win the walk-on role, please find us on Twitter and tell us everything you saw and heard. We won't tell a soul. Promise.
