Hands up then. Who else is excited about the latest Star Wars movie now the trailer's been released?

When Star Wars episode VIII: The Last Jedi comes out it will have been two years since the release on episode VII and we'll FINALLY all find out how Luke Skywalker has been keeping himself. Unshaven, clearly.

Since Disney took over the franchise, I can't be the only person who's been incredibly impressed with the trailers for the latest installment of films.

I'm not ashamed to say the moment I saw Han-Solo and Chewbacca pop their faces in to the trailer for The Force Awakens made me giddy with excitement.

It was the same when the Death Star appeared in Rogue One and now the promise of finding out all about why Luke wants to end the Jedi is making my inner-child even more excited for Christmas than ever.

So which is better? The Last Jedi or...
