The official bodies behind the new Star Wars movie, currently shooting in the Abu Dhabi desert, are keeping quiet.

But at least in the meantime we have the fans to keep us busy.

This faux trailer, created by YouTube user Mr88668866, whose previous work includes fan trailers for Batman vs Superman and much of the Marvel Universe too, splices footage from the Star Wars universe with footage from Star Trek: Into Darkness, Thor, John Carter, Man of Steel and even Noah (which no one here will have seen, obviously) and cunningly creates a trailer that already looks better than The Phantom Menace.

Post modern? Maybe. Geeky? Definitely. Cool? Make your own mind up and watch it here.
