There are no spoilers and no surprises in the new "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" trailer that was released Sunday, but fans are geeking out nonetheless.

The South Korea YouTube channel released a 30-second international trailer showing a patchwork of new and old material.

Some of the footage has been repurposed from last November's trailer release, but the new cut does include an impressive scene of the Imperial Army.

A short voiceover sets up the teaser that features a new cast of heroes in John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, and Oscar Isaac, and of course, many masked evildoers make an appearance.

"Star Wars: The Force Awakens," directed by J.J. Abrams, hits theaters Dec. 18.
