Disney releases new 'Star Wars: Force Awakens' footage on Instagram

The official Instagram account for Star Wars uploaded new footage from The Force Awakens Thursday.

The short clip features impressive visuals including a massive gathering of stormtroopers and a possible lightsaber fight in the snow.

The footage is accompanied by a new score from composer John Williams and features a similar voice over from Andy Serkis' character Supreme Leader Snoke, first heard in the original teaser trailer for The Force Awakens.

"There has been an awakening...," the caption reads.

Recently, Disney has fully committed to the Star Wars franchise by announcing two new Star Wars themed districts for its Anaheim and Orlando theme parks.

The Force Awakens isn't the only film Disney is working on, as production has started on Star Wars: Rogue One due in theaters in 2016.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is directed by J.J. Abrams and opens in theaters Dec. 18. Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher will reprise their iconic roles along with new comers Daisy Ridley, John Boyega and Oscar Isaac.
