Apart from the film's stunning visuals and undeniable grandeur, we have a bunch of sci-fi nerds who failed to contain their excitement and ended up tweeting some of the most side-splitting tweets while reacting to the latest trailer. We have collected 25 of the most insanely funny tweets to entertain you. So fasten your seatbelts and get ready to go on a thrilling ride.
