With a brand new trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi set to premiere during Monday Night Football, Lucasfilm offered a tease loaded with new footage for the film.

The clip, released online by Good Morning America, focuses on the chosen weapons of the Jedi and Sith: the lightsaber. It also played on ESPN as part of the NFL's Sunday pregame shows. Check out the clip above!

The trailer only has three quick shots — one of which we've already seen — but two of them consist of brand new scenes that could cause quite a few goosebumps.

It begins with the opening shot from the original trailer, with Rey's hand on the ground with rock's slowly floating upward.

Then it cuts to Kylo Ren's lightsaber sitting on a shiny surface, and the leader of the Knights of Ren snatches it with his gloved hand.

The last shot features a long-awaited followup to the closing moment of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, showing Luke Skywalker finally accept the blue lightsaber that belonged to his father, taking it from Rey's outstretched hand.

All the while, Mark Hamill's now famous voice over plays with the scenes: "Breathe, just breathe."

It's a short but sweet teaser, with one scene in particular that makes it all worth it. Seeing Luke's robot hand beginning to accept the lightsaber is a welcome sight, especially after the cliffhanger left fans hanging for years to learn what would happen next.

Now we're finally going to find out with Star Wars: The Last Jedi finally premiering in theaters.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi debuts worldwide on December 15.
