In case you missed it, the “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” trailer was released last Thursday much to the delight of the franchise’s patient fans.

People really just lost it.

In just two short minutes, the “Star Wars” franchise reawakened the fans that had been hibernating in the aftermath of “The Force Awakens.”

People couldn’t contain their physical reactions.

But nothing excited fans more than the return of Darth Vader.

Literally, all he did was breathe for .2 seconds at the end of the trailer.

But it was all about the FORESHADOWING.

There was also some immediate backlash because it’s the internet.

But people were quick to shut it down.

For the most part, it really just bettered everyone’s lives.

Fans will most likely dive down a “Star Wars”-themed hole of seclusion until December.

BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR.

See you all in December!
