If you started to feel a surge of uncontrollable emotion over the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer, you may be happy to know that stars Daisy Ridley and John Boyega probably geeked out even more. (Granted, if we’re fairly weighing geek-outs, their respective geek-outs are far more valuable as marketing than yours or mine — as seen in the fact that they’re being posted all over the web — and thus there’s the possibility they’re not quite as organic. On the other hand, their geek-outs are not just over a love of Star Wars, but also of seeing themselves fighting said star wars…so perhaps they’re more organic. Ultimately, there’s just no way to fairly weigh geek-outs.)
The two both posted their reactions to watching the trailer — which they saw at the same time as everyone else — on Instagram after having enlisted friends to tape them. Boyega (who plays the stormtrooper named Finn who battles Adam Driver’s Kylo Ren in the woods), sporting a fittingly sci-fi jacket, watches intently while nodding and goading his character on, and has a victorious spasm that leads him to leap over the couch. Meanwhile, Ridley, who plays the scavenger Rey, watches the trailer in bed, and is crying by the end of it.
