There’s just a little over a month to go before Star Wars: The Force Awakens hits theaters, which means we are entering its most fertile marketing period. Just two days ago everyone was surprised by the sudden appearance of a Japanese trailer for the movie containing a bevy of new footage. And now we’ve got another new video with yet even more new footage.

This first TV spot (which actually premiered on Twitter) is only 30 seconds long, but it contains new shots of Han Solo and some battles, including Rey firing a blaster at Kylo Ren. Perhaps most importantly, though, it contains some new voice over from Lupita Nyong’o’s mysterious new character, Maz Kanata, alluding to the multi-generational nature of the story.

Check it out.

The force is calling to you… Check out the first official TV spot for #StarWars #TheForceAwakens. https://t.co/tsKiEvZAK7
