Fake Star Wars: Force Awakens Trailer Is Most Impressive

You are not looking at a real trailer for
The Force Awakens. Sorry! It’s phoney. Fake. And fan-made. But you know what, for what it is, this is pretty good.

As pointed out by YouTube commenters like
Tobias Walker, you might recognize a line from the game The Force Unleashed (“I’ve finally drawn you out of hiding” was said by Rahm Kota) as an obvious giveaway that, of course, this isn’t a real trailer.

There are other clues, too, like Harrison Ford’s quote “You guys got room in this battle for an old war horse.” That, YouTube commenter
Young Wyzepoints out, is from Anchorman 2. Then there’s old footage as well as footage from other fan films.

Still, the whole thing is put together skillfully enough that the trailer has over a thousand likes on YouTube and that some people online are getting fooled.
