This Star Wars: The Force Awakens video explores the desert planet of Jakku, giving fans a first-person view as a ship travels through the wreckage, including a crashed Star Destroyer. This video was created exclusively for Facebook's new 360 degree videos, so don't expect to see any of this footage when Star Wars: The Force Awakens hits theaters on December 18. Still, with three months left until its release, it's possible that we may see even more of these 360-degree videos from this highly-anticipated sci-fi adventure.

John Boyega (Finn), Daisy Ridley (Rey) and Oscar Isaac (Poe Dameron) lead a new cast of characters including Adam Driver (Kylo Ren), Domhnall Gleeson (General Hux), Lupita Nyong'o (Maz Kanata), Gwendoline Christie (Captain Phasma), Andy Serkis (Supreme Leader Snoke). Beloved favorites Harrison Ford (Han Solo), Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia), Anthony Daniels (C-3PO) and Kenny Baker (R2-D2) also return to reprise their roles.

J.J. Abrams directs from a script he co-wrote with Lawrence Kasdan, with the director also producing alongside Kathleen Kennedy and Bryan Burk. With just over three months left until this highly-anticipated film hits theaters, some box office analysts are already predicting the movie could shatter records when it debuts. Some are estimating that it could earn a whopping $615 million worldwide. To put that number in perspective, Jurassic World became the first movie ever to crack $500 million worldwide this summer, taking in $524 million at the global box office.
