There’s one new shot in a Korean ‘Star Wars’ trailer fans are obsessively decoding

If you're looking for even a quick glimpse at some new footage from the upcoming "Star Wars" movie, "The Force Awakens," you'll want to watch the latest TV spot running in Korea:

It's basically a mashup of the two teaser trailers that have already been released, but the opening shot is new.

The new shot shows some shadowy figures standing over an army of storm troopers in a Nazi-like rally:

It's the rear angle from this shot, which we saw in the last "Force Awakens" trailer:

The big question? Who's the person in the dark cloak standing in the front?

According to materials shared by Lucasfilm and Disney about the new film, "The Force Awakens" takes place about 30 years after "Return of the Jedi." Even though the Rebels appeared to defeat the Empire in "Return of the Jedi," remnants of the Empire continued to thrive in parts of the galaxy. Those remnants will be called The First Order in the next movie.

Early rumors suggest The First Order is run by a guy called Supreme Leader Snoke, which many believe will be played by Andy Serkis. It's already been confirmed that Serkis will be in "The Force Awakens," but it hasn't been officially announced who he'll play.

If the rumors are true, Serkis will play the role of the new emperor and use Kylo Ren, a new Sith lord we saw in the teaser trailers, as his henchman. It'd be very similar to the dynamic in the original trilogy between Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader.
