The theory is that when it comes to Star Wars, even the tiniest bit of news is news. This particular titbit stretches that theory to gloriously nerdy breaking point.
It goes like this: JJ Abrams, the director of the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens, previously revealed - tongue firmly in cheek - that the first word spoken in the film was "This".

Well, he's only gone and said what the second word is, hasn't he? It's "will". So the first two words in Star Wars: The Force Awakens are "This will".
At first glance, this could mean nothing in the slightest. "This will" - what does that mean? How could this excite anybody ever?
The thing is, in the first Star Wars, Darth Vader tells Grand Moff Tarkin, "This will be a day long remembered. It has seen the end of Kenobi. It will soon see the end of the rebellion."
Does this mean the opening line of Star Wars: The Force Awakens is "This will be a day long remembered"?
That's a question. A question that will only be answered when you watch the film, which comes out in the UK on December 17. Watch the trailer (again) below:
