Yesterday, the world united when the second teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens made its way online, and we all collectively lost our shit, meaning you now have something else in common with Gerard Way, Fall Out Boy, Linkin Park and many more of your favourite musos.
The trailer left Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz with some pressing plot-related questions, brought up some touching childhood memories for Gerard Way, Gang Of Youths looped it in to their Record Store Day celebrations and Florence and the Machine guitarist Rob Ackroyd lovingly shared it with Dev Hynes.
None of them quite reacted like Matthew McConaughey, though. Read their thoughts and (re) watch the trailer, below.

My favorite childhood memory is my dad leaving work early to pick me up from school and take me to see Return of The Jedi opening day
