A new TV spot for Star Wars: The Force Awakens has aired in Korea. While most of the footage in this new TV spot is re-edited footage from the previous trailers and teasers, the opening shot contains all new footage - a brief establishing shot of the the villainous First Order on parade, which is pictured above. This shot is a reverse angle of the same shot seen in previous trailers which showcased the design of the new Storm Troopers, in fact with all of the Stormtroopers present in the shot looking toward the stage we would postulate that this shot immediately follows the one from previous trailers. This reverse angle being a much wider shot shows off much, much more. Heres the new TV spot, followed by a list of new things we spotted...

In a recent article Domhnall Gleeson, whom will play the First Orders lead officer General Hux, is reported to have dropped that this First Order base seen in this new shot is called Starkiller Base. The article then goes on to speculate a possible link to Luke Skywalker, whom was called Luke Starkiller in creator George Lucas' early drafts of Star Wars A New Hope. The name of the base may also be a reference to a character called Starkiller, whom appeared in the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed video games. Starkiller was a secret apprentice of Darth Vader, and whoms likeness and voice acting was supplied by Smallville and Battlestar Galactica actor Sam Witwer - Could Starkiller be Kylo Ren's Master? We highly doubt it, but you never know with Star Wars.
