Official! Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer to Debut tomorrow Night During Monday Night Football.

Are you ready for some football? Finally, our long wait has ended. After months of debate and discussion, our scoop from way back on October 6th has finally been officially confirmed. The Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer will debut tomorrow night, October 19th, during Monday Night Football.

 

Earlier today, the official Star Wars site kicked off a multi-day event that began by releasing the official poster for The Force Awakens and will be capped off tomorrow night during half-time of the Giants vs. Eagles Monday Night Football game on ESPN which begins at 8:15 PM EDT.  According to ESPN’s release, Disney will be providing unprecedented on air and social media support, meaning we should expect to see Star Wars being discussed and promoted on social media and on Disney’s broadcast and cable networks leading up to the reveal tomorrow night.

 

In addition to the trailer itself, Disney has also released information on ticket pre-sales and specific theater events as we approach the release of The Force Awakens. Firstly, ticket pre-sales should become available immediately following the trailer’s debut tomorrow night. So, make sure to be ready with credit card in hand as soon as that trailer ends if you want to get your preferred show time. You might want to save those 57 re-watches for after you have secured your tickets.

 

In addition to the ticket sales availability, Disney has also announced a number exclusive events, including the long rumored Saga marathons at select theaters as well as some limited availability, cinema specific, giveaways from people viewing the film in Imax at specific theaters.

 

The complete list of theater events can be found in Disney’s release here.

    No Luke?? Color me disappointed. 🙁

    Should have just retitled this movie to “STAR WARS 7: THE SEARCH FOR LUKE”, or “STAR WARS GENERATIONS: LUKE GOES MISSING”….
    That said, Han and Leia look great though!

    And ANOTHER Death Star-like super weapon??? Guessing this is either Leia’s super weapon or The First Order’s weapon that can destroy galaxies….

      As you suspect, we’ll wait for YT upload.
      Also check free live streamings of the game that will show the trailer

    57 re-watches? Please, don’t be insulting— at least 100 re-watches. Conservatively.

      Sorry, was implying 57 re-watches immediately before breaking. Obviously we’re talking triple digits within 24 hours here.

        If I had a time machine i’d stay in Dec 18th for a couple of months. That way i could make triple digits happen

    I think it is fantastic how much of this movie has been kept a secret. I have been following most of the spoilers and I feel like I will go into the theatre I won’t know what will happen.
    Something I just noticed with the release of this new poster is that there is supposed to be some kind of super weapon in the film. Up until this point I have heard very little about it and I have not seen any pictures even close to resembling a super weapon. It reminds me of the kind of secrecy surrounding the Death Star in the actual story of Star Wars. Only really important people new of its existence.
    I am so excited for this new addition of Star Wars!! I can’t wait to see the full trailer tomorrow. May the force be with everyone tomorrow!!

    BULLS**T!!! Halftime? Some of us have jobs and don’t need to be up until 11pm watching a game we don’t care about just to get tickets. What the hell is wrong with the first quarter? I can understand putting the trailer on late but why not put tickets on sale early in the day? FU Disney!!

      The NFL’s contract only allows for 1 minute 50 seconds worth of commercials (shorter than the average trailer) during the actual game, so unfortunately it has to be half time.

      It will probably be online by the time you wake up.

      Yes. You and a bunch of others will so never see The Force Awakens now because of no Luke on the poster… XD

      Abrams is a one trick pony with his mystery box turds which is the only way he can people to see his crap since they have no clue what they are getting even though it’s always bound to be a let down when they do.

        If you are going to criticize, then do so based on what they did not what YOU wish they had done.
        And, if you really dislike it that much, don’t go see it. Of course, like all of us, you will be there.

          Of course, I’ll see it. I would not be here if I was not but it does not mean I will like it either. That kind of blind mentality that we have to love whatever they push on us is why we keep getting the poiltical and religious leaders we have today and something Palpatine would encourage.

    Thanks Darrell- great clarification. Didn’t think of that so makes sense for the trailer but still no reason tickets need to go on sale so late. It’s not like sales will suffer if no one has seen the trailer yet.

    Ugh! That poster. Much as I did not care for the Struzan design (which was practically a first for me) it’s better than this shopped shit and if it’s not shopped then it very much looks like it. What a mess.

    So What’s that death Star like Planet Sized thing in the background.

    they’ve secretly rebuilt a deathstar 3.0???

      yeah, except this time… having learned that little fighters and Corellian freighter’s are a danger to such things, they’ve built an exhaust port big enough to fly a star destroyer in to 😉

        And apparently a force field. Why didn’t they do that before?

    To all of you here, I wish you the best of luck with getting the tickets! I got mine, and I say it wasn’t easy at all. Here in Finland, the internet really freaking exploded! I was forced to walk (well okay, I gladly walked there) to the nearest Finnkino to get myself the tickets after a hour and a half of crashing websites and the company itself informing that it hasn’t faced a situation like this before, not even the Hobbit got their sites out of control. We were trying to get through on multiple computers with no luck till I made the sacrifice. Thank god I got there early enough so there were no significant lines so I didn’t have to wait.

      Glad for you it worked! Here in Holland even the largest Cinema-brand had problems while processing the tickets, they had to stop the selling of tickets for a while. At my local cinema I experienced no problems 🙂

    Got my tickets today had to try 3 different cinemas in the end as two of the website’s kept failing ! do not under estimate the power of the force awakens. Get your tickets today 😀

      Sadly we’ve got only one major cinema organization here in Finland +/- some local ones that I knew I wouldn’t even dare to try, took me a hour and a half bugging at the website till I walked to one of the Finnkino’s.

    So with no Luke on the poster will the movie make us think that Kylo Ren is Luke? There was this rumour that Luke had become evil. Maybe the audience is meant to believe that the new evil guy could be Luke?

      oh dude, please

      It’s easy; just read into it, watch the trailers and see for yourself. There is absolutely no way in hell that Kylo Ren will be Luke. If Luke went to the dark side it would undermine his monumental perseverance over the emperor’s temptation in ROTJ. It would be a disgraceful, pointless turn of events for the writers to take. The point was that Luke learned from the mistake of his father.

    I literally can’t buy a ticket. The serves aren’t working! My friend and I are going over to the local cinema later. If I miss the first screening, I consider my life a failure.

    Why is it important to wipe out an entire solar system? Is it just to show how big and powerful the weapon is? I mean, how many inhabited planets could a solar system possibly have? And just wiping out one planet seems to be much more efficient, doesn’t it? I mean what about all of those resources on the other planets? What a waste.
    The Starkiller doesn’t make sense…
