The tweet has been removed since. Later HeroicHollywood confirmed the timeline for the debuts:
Our sources have revealed to us the timeline for the debuts. Expect the the poster to debut online at noon EST tomorrow. The final trailer will debut during half-time of Monday night’s New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles game.
Also these reports were backed up by the following tweet from a theater chain in the UK.

There are only less than 5 hours left! Are you ready?
Stay tuned…

I’m ready!
Me too!
Is it just the poster at 5 or trailer as well. Because if it’s just the poster then it would be odd if John Boyega said “Get ready” for just a poster.
Maybe a clever trick of Disney of showing first the poster…And then out of nowhere, the trailer appears!
Would be awesome especially since today is my birthday…what a present that would be however I doubt it. Monday Night Football is one of the most watched programs in the U.S. and word is the opening will be Star Wars themed. This also will boost the ratings even more (though Eagles/Giants games are always big ratings draws). I do however think the trailer and ticket announcement might come with the poster release.
However, the rest of the world doesn’ t even know there’ s a monday night game in the US and the money cames from all over the globe so it would be nice to respect that…..
For a Star Wars fan, the poster is part of the entire movie experience, as well as the soundtrack or the sound editing. No surprise they continue to fucking tease everything!
Hopefully it will be a bit better than the prequel posters. I was looking at all three yesterday and well, they are not great. They almost look photo shopped with the placements of Yoda, 3PO/R2 and Jango. I want a old school looking poster!
As Michael Jackson sings – You are not alone…. 🙂
The official poster today. The trailer is almost confirmed to air on Monday Night Football.
I am glad it will be revealed tomorrow night….. so i don’t have to watch it on my phone at school! I think i may watch football for the first time tomorrow…….
I’m wondering how they’re going to release the trailer. As an European I hope they release the trailer online hours before the Football in the US. Since it will be in the middle in the night for us 😛 However, due to the excitement I possibly can’t sleep anyway 😛
I understand you so, so much. I’m italian, and I’m a university student, so I really can’t wait until the live release 🙁
It’ll be a very long night!
Same thing here, dude: I’m italian too – not a student, but still…it will be a very long night indeed.
Oh well, at least we can be glad that TFA is opening on Dec. 16th here 😀
Che la Forza sia con te!
Yeah! Two days of anticipation are indeed a good reward! 😀
It will likely air on Monday Night Football and then instantly on YouTube.
I gouess we the Europeans will have a looong night tomorrow… 🙂
Sadly, i bet it will go live right AFTER the US reveal. I’m just happy i won’t be at school XD
The only way to survive the next hours with my brain intact is to go online and play SWTOR until the mid of the night comes…..
monday night football… that means tuesday morning where I’m at. Hope it drops before I have to go to work :///
Ta mušiš sebe privstac, co zrobiš…..
In many ways the poster is more important than the trailer. Thirty years from now we are not going to be watching that trailer anymore but hopefully we will still be talking about how awesome that poster still is.
As part of my May Star Wars tradition I listen to each Movie’s Sound Track, watch all the Trailers, all the special features from nearly every medium (DVD/Blu-ray) then the movies themselves. So i will probably continue to watch the trailer thirty years from now.
We still talk about how awesome the trailer is for TPM and how it never lived up to how epic that trailer was, so the trailer is just as important as the poster is .
I love the special features as well. I have watched the Revenge of the Sith featurettes and web documentaries more times than I care to count. My hope is that TFA delivers and brings us a bunch of great behind the scenes features.
That’s my hope as well when it comes time to buy the Blu-ray that its loaded with special features that are just as good as the ones from the old DVDs. Hell i’ve watched Empire of Dreams just as much as some of the Prequel films.
You are absolutelly right my friend! And lets just hope the poster will be OT type, not the PT type…..
12 pack of rebel IPA, check, eyelids glued in in open position, check, fed watered and took dog for walk, check. Lets do this. I’ve been waiting on this day for a long time.
You watered your dog?
They wither if you don’t.
Keeps ’em from turning into hot jerky… which ain’t bad, either.
This is it… it’s the last step before the movie. Seems almost like it was yesterday that countdown clock was so much higher.
Well, technically, it WAS higher yesterday…
LOL Movie comes out in 2 months and there’s no poster. Just bizarre.
I have a feeling along with the poster release they will confirm the Monday Night Football trailer debut and ticket sales. I cant imagine they wait until tomorrow to announce that. They will want to have a full day to get the word out and you know as soon as they announce it…the info will be everywhere. Wouldn’t be shocked if ABC aired commercials tonight teasing the trailer release tomorrow night just to get the word out even more.
I’m ready
it will be 2am (tuesday) when the trailer hits as im in the UK so i dont know if to stay awake or just wait till i get up and watch it on the internet lol
This will be a day long remembered. Tomorrow will be a day even longer remembered more than today even. (So I’m no wordsmith. Sue me)
In Europe 18:00, little more than 2 hours from now….
The circle is now completed!
is the poster out yet?
I sure hope this was the part of it: http://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Poster.jpg
It already looks legendary!
Prontissimo!
Should have picked a better game to show the trailer. Giants vs. Eagles looks to be a very boring game.
If only it were real giants and real eagles. That would be one hell of a fight.
If they were looking for more views they should have gone with Patriots at Colts tonight. Missed opportunity.
Again, as a non-sportball fan, I imagine Civil War soldiers wrestling with baby horses.
I don’t get the football/Star Wars connection either. I’m guessing they wanted to find a time where many people would be watching TV when dropping the trailer. Tonight’s game could possibly be the most watched TV program possibly all month. Which is why I think it was a missed opportunity.
Well, they couldn’t release it on *GASP* a WEEKEND!!! =P
“Civil War?” (facepalm) You’re off by almost one hundred years.
THEY WERE STILL PATRIOTIC TO SOMETHING OKAY.
Besides, the soldier garb is kinda similar, isn’t it?
Would you rather them release the trailer on NBC for that game or on a channel they own like ESPN? Plus just to rub a little salt in the wound I’m a Giants fan so Monday just got a little better.
Go Big Blue!
Great with the poster and trailer(tomorrow) But what really Counts is waiting on the 16th of december.
Only an hour and a half to go?! Cool, enough time to watch a half-decent film. Or two Star Trek episodes! =D
SHUT UP WESLEY I’M WAITING FOR STAR WARS
I wonder if the poster will show something we’ve not seen yet?…..Snoke maybe
i think if anything the trailer will show a glimpse of Snoke over the the poster.
You’re right of course but impatience sucks haha
It seems we are all expecting the poster to be revealed before 5. Refreshing site takes foreveeeer LOL
Anyone wiling to place bets on whether or not the website will crash at 12:03 est?
In Japan time that’s 1 am, I’ll see you guys in the morning i guess…
… who am I kidding, I suck at going to be “on time”
Yep! I’m ready!
Next 2 days are going to be epic!
49 minutes 30 seconds to go…
… um… not that I’m counting down or anything… :-/
At precisely 9:00 am Pacific, I checked StarWars.com.
But clicking on the announcement’s thumbnail took me to a custom “404” page with a deathstar for the ‘0’. (Below: “this page is not yet armed and operational”).
I didnt see the full poster until 9:03 Pacific.
I feel so betrayed.
almost there….almost there….
Sucks I don’t have cable. Can’t watch MNF. Decided to cut the cord last month. I wonder how quickly it will be online?
It will be probably on Youtube a couple minutes even before game
Almost instantly or even simultaneously id imagine
Within minutes, definitely.
I realy can’t wait for the trailer! 😀
Phew. *Breathes* Stay On Target.
Let’s hope this poster is *the* poster, and not just the words “Star Wars” in fancy font.
Yesss!!!!!!
please ppl give us a link! a link a link a link!
Maybe give us UTC or something like that? there’s a big world out there outside of the US and we use that everywhere. Thanks for your professionalism
“Sorry, that page doesn’t exist!” from the “official” tweet link – Well, that’s reassuring :/
Is this definitely 100 percent happening then, or is there a chance that we’re setting ourselves up to be disappointed?
3 mins to go!
This is so intense, I can’t believe I haven’t been so excited in a good while for a motion picture in general!
I truly cannot wait for this, I was too young to go see any of the star wars movies in theaters ever. Now, 10 years after Revenge of the sith, I get to experience a whole new decade of starwars like my father did! This is just amazing!
Could you give me a link?
THERE IT IS
where? pls send the link

HOLY SHIT!!! PLANET OPENING UP!
Cool poster!
The portrait version is a really nice composition. I like the red/blue contrast.
GIVE US A LINK
tnx man 🙂
WHERE WHERE WHERE
boyega’s instagram!

WHAT is THAT Death Star-planetoid???? Ok… freaking out a bit here…
Rey is the main protagonist I guess.
There it is!!!!!
Is that a new Death Star?
Looks kinda like it. Wow. That’s really original.
Pretty much. It’s called the Starkiller Base, and it can destroy entire star systems.
AMAZING!
That is gorgeous!
It’s here! …but where is Luke?
Wow, John Boyega with a lightsaber! This really makes me want to see the movie!
NOT!!!
No Luke?
MAZ KANATA!!!
Where’s Luke in the poster? I see Leia and Han, but no Luke.
Lots to talk about here!!!
Death Star 3. Jeez!
My thoughts exactly 🙁
*Starkiller Base*
But yeah, it’s totally the next Death Star.
I love it!!
No luke, the box is complete, now Disney is the Master.
http://the-knights-of-ren.tumblr.com/post/131423548665/the-official-star-wars-the-force-awakens-poster
Luke as thought, is probably a Reveal device in the movie. So they wouldnt put him on the poster.
Everything I hoped for. Looks amazing.
#MazKanata #MazKanata
I’m just glad it’s not Snoak. Horrible design, Hopefully her voice will save the character.
Written by Michael Arndt! LOL
This poster is a little underwhleming to me. :
Everything looks great except for that awful negroe
What? Please explain why.
What now?
If you are going to be offensive at least attempt to spell the word Negro properly
Sorry I’m from France. :
That explains a lot.
c’mon man, don’t be like that.
Offensive trolling? Really? That’s a new low for internet users.
I am very curious about that Death star looking ship. That should be interesting.
Looks like Pokemon.
interesting how Rey and Kylo are looking in the same direction, also the Stormtroopers are on both sides, and you got JB with his Jedi Weapon right next to the Death Moon almost like he’s protecting it.
Anyone getting a “choose your side” sort of vibe from this poster?
Kylo and Rey with parallel weapons and being the two single largest characters on the one sheet say to me only one thing – they are the Skywalker siblings. Finn is third largest and am very excited to see what this character is going to be about, mkre so than the Skywalkers, actually! The ONLY thing that worries me about the poster is that Death Star looking object. I really hoped they would be more original than that…
So Luke’s the cloaked cyborg. Kewl!
That’s Kylo Ren. He’s played by Adam Driver, he’s way younger than Luke, and he’s not a cyborg.
LENS FLARES!!!!
A little underwhelming but only because what is in it we’ve seen before…and NO LUKE! =(Also……..new death star???)
I really, really REALLY hope they dont that. That will just scream “LAZY NOSTALGIC IDEA!” And that wont fare well.
That’s what it looks like though, and Im not gonna write the movie off if that’s what it ends up being.
That’s the Starkiller Base. It’s an ice planet with a space station on it, and it can destroy entire star systems.
So, no new trailer? Just a poster?
Monday my friend, It is.
Trailer tomorrow evening
Tomorrow baby.
So it’s not ‘Episode VII’ o_0
Boyega doesn’t look like a hero even a little bit.
Which probably goes a long way towards explaining why there have been so few black heroes throughout recorded history.
And no, George Washington Carver doesn’t count. lol
Dude. Martin Luther? What the heck is your problem?
And to me, he looks great!
I’m sure Boyega THINKS he’s a hero though, considering a he’s a narcissist.
Was expecting Drew Struzan to do the official poster. Drew even gave the impression that he was going to do it. Based on the interviews he did at the D23 convention. This poster is a real let down. Looks pretty much like all the marvel movie posters , which are photo-shopped. Disney why didn’t you go with a painted poster by Drew?
I’m pretty sure this IS by Drew, so…
Sorry to inform you that it has been confirmed that it is not a Struzan. The poster was photo-shopped by a guy named Bryan Morton.
It’s too crap to be him and looks as CG as the PT.
What if Luke is now a member of the Knights of Ren?
Poster analysis
1) Finn is going to wield that llightsaber. The snowy forest scene is therefore an actual thing, not a force dream Finn may have had. Who on earth is going to make him able to wield it properly?
2) Rey’s weapon parallel to Kylo’s indicate their common heritage. They are definitely related. The showdown will be between them. They are Solos? Skywalkers? Who knows. My money is on the second because it was pretty much given by the producer.
3) New Death Star people! And by the looks of it it seems that the posts claiming that this baddy can pulverize entire solar system have merit. Really menacing, we could use some more info on its capabilities.
4) No Luke. It seems our favorite Jedi Master will appear at the end of the movie making us wish we had time machines to skip to episode 8 at once.
5) Han looks badass as always. Leia appears to have chosen the noble’s life even though she was proven to be force sensitive.
6) Poe appears to be the main man against Phasma. You can tell.
7) Weird cgi creaure next to R2. It’s probably close to Leia’s circle and it was hitned that it will be the one to give Luke’s saber to Leia.
8) Again I want to stress the Rey- Kylo stances. Could they be both Dark Side force users? Their looking away in sync looks intimidating.
WHAT HAVE I MISSED? TELL ME PPL!
The new super weapon looks like a planet….could it be the new ice world?
It’s possible that “Starkiller base” is that planet?
The Starwars.com website said that that this “Death Star” is actually called the “Starkiller Base”. It’s an ice planet with a space station on it, and it can destroy entire star systems. Do with that what you will. Also, I believe that that CGI creature is actually Maz Kanata, played by Lupita Nyongo.
True and true, I get new info all the time.
Just saw a brief add saying to tune in to Monday Night Football for new Star Wars info tomorrow. It was during a commercial break on the pre-game show.
