The countdown is on!

Fans are anxiously awaiting J.J. Abrams' continuation of the Star Wars saga as the release of the seventh installment, The Force Awakens, is due for Dec. 18.

The newest -- and one of the most anticipated -- trailers was shown during Monday Night Football to the delight of many fanboys.

Abrams successfully rebooted the Star Trek franchise and now looks to do the same to a Star Wars tale that many thought was hindered by the release of a prequel trilogy in the 2000s.

Wherever you stand on the prequels, it is definitely exciting to see Hollywood's best franchise get a fresh look.
