The 88-second trailer for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" has amassed more than 44 million YouTube views since its release on November 28th.

"Saturday Night Live" mocked the trailer by imagining what the original characters - Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Han Solo - will look like on film today.

Princess Leia, originally played by actress Carrie Fisher, is now wearing reading glasses.
