Go home, cheetah. If you really want to go fast, you need to get off the ground. The truly fastest animal on Earth is the peregrine falcon, capable of cruising the skies at 60 MPH and diving at over 200 MPH — as fast as Formula One race cars.

Other than Luke Skywalker finally has a few lines and some epic space battles, not much is known but we're sure they'll be plenty more trailers between now and its December 15th release.
