Star Wars: The Force Awakens Teaser
Dec. 6, 2014
Luke, Leia and Han have been a part of “Star Wars” a long time.
A really long time.
“SNL” poked some age-related fun at the ages of the Skywalker Saga’s central cast ahead of the release of The Force Awakens.
The tongue-in-cheek teaser shows a forgetful Han (Taran Killem) getting confused when asked by Finn (Jay Pharoah) where he could find Luke Skywalker.
“I’ll take the early-bird special,” he says.
Meanwhile, Leia (Bobby Moynihan) slips on her reading glasses, talking to herself as she tries, unsuccessfully, to program R2D2.
Luke (Christoph Waltz) uses his lightsabers as a walker and the force to organize his pills.
