As the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens rapidly approaches, fans are salivating over the tiniest morsels of new information.
The desperation for details appears to have reached its peak thanks to Jimmy Kimmel, who begged director JJ Abrams to reveal the first word spoken in The Force Awakens.
According to Abrams, "this" will be the first word uttered out loud in the new movie. Your guess is as good as ours, but it'll surely be added to the pantheon of memorable "this"-based Star Wars quotes such as...
- "This is some rescue!"
- "This R2 unit has a bad motivator. Look."
- "I have a bad feeling about this."
- "This is red leader."
- "The Force is strong with this one."
As mentioned by Kimmel, "this" is an anagram of Sith... whatever could this mean?
You'll be able to find out the words that immediately follow "this" is The Force Awakens from December 17, when the movie is released in the UK. Watch a trailer below:
