Fans aren’t the only ones raving about the new trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The actors involved in the film are doing so too, and we’ve compiled all their reactions.
Now, obviously, these are people who were all paid not just to be in the movie, but to promote it—but still, it’s fun to read their infectious enthusiasm, manufactured or not.

Lando himself, Billy Dee Williams, also has been tweeting today. It’s mostly just retweets of the trailer, but he was excited about this piece of news…
I am so happy you are all excited, I’m just as excited…😎#TheRiseOfSkwalker

And, of course, it’s not just actors who are excited. Some of the filmmakers involved, both past and future, took to Twitter to talk about the movie.

Save for that last tweet, one thing is noticeably missing in these reactions…the women of Star Wars. No Daisy Ridley, no Kelly Marie Tran, no Billie Lourd, etc. And, well, we know the reason behind that, right?
