Star Wars Cast Film 'Epic' Reactions To Trailer

As fans react to the new trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, one of its British stars has shared the moment she first saw it.

Daisy Ridley, who plays the lead role of Rey in JJ Abrams' Episode VII, was filmed by a friend as she watched the two-and-a-half minute video in bed.

"Staying in a little b'n'b with my friend... Set an alarm to watch the trailer...

"My friend filmed my reaction. Totally emotional seeing it for the first time and so so so incredibly awed to be part of this incredible legacy #starwars #theforceawakens."

Ridley lets out a little squeal as her eyes widen and she covers her mouth with her hand. She then scrunches her eyes closed as she wells up and says: "Oh my God, it's amazing."

But the 23-year-old will have to fight it out for the prize for best reaction with her co-star John Boyega.

He also posted a video on Instagram of the moment he first watched it.

Boyega, who plays Finn, nods his head as he likes what he sees, but then something takes him by surprise and he ends up vaulting over the back of the sofa.

He wrote: "THE TRAILER IS JUST EEEEPPPPPPPIIIIICCCCCCC! Star Wars is back! gaaaaaad laaaaard! You know what!

"Let me just relax because this kind God oooo! Lmao! Seriously congrats to everyone ! December 18th!"
