A new Star Wars: The Force Awakens TV spot has dropped a some plot hints for the upcoming film. In the fresh trailer Disney features shots and a voiceover that has never been seen or heard before.

Director J.J. Abrams say he's both thrilled and terrified to unleash the new Star Wars film into the galaxy.

Speaking with comedian Stephen Colbert at a fundraiser for the Montclair Film Festival, Abrams got candid after a fan asked him if he wanted Star Wars to "just be over".

"I wish you could zip line down here and hug me," Abrams said after explaining he'd almost finished with the film.

"The truth is working on this movie for nearly three years, it has been like living with the greatest roommate in history for too long.

"It's time for him to get his own place. It's been great and I can't tell you how much I want him to get out into the world and meet other people because we know each other really well. But really, Star Wars is bigger than all of us."

Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens in cinemas December 17th.
