Not a sign of JJ Abrams’ fingerprints on this.

Out of all of next year’s big film releases, the one we’re most excited about – without question – is The Force Awakens.

A short teaser trailer was released recently to whet the appetite, and it was damn good.

However, we’re traditionalists here at JOE, and this shot for shot remake of that trailer, which uses only footage from the George Lucas’s original trilogy, made the hairs on the back of our necks stand up even more than Abrams’ clip.

Check it out.
