UPDATE! Countdown: When to Expect the Full Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer Today! Kevin Smith Weighs in on the New Trailer.
Just for those who are not aware, the new trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens comes out tonight on ESPN during the halftime period of the New York Giants VS Philadelphia Eagles game. The game will run from 8:15-11:20 PM EST, so expect the trailer to arrive at about 9:45-9:55 PM EST. Since many people are confused with timezone, we’ve made a countdown clock below for the ease of all readers from around the world. If you miss it, don’t worry – the trailer will go online shortly afterward.
The reason that Disney is waiting until the halftime period is that commercial breaks for NFL games are exactly one minute or two minutes in length; the game is split into 20 breaks in total that must be equal to either amount in order for the game to be considered “fair” for each team. From this, we can infer that the trailer is most likely longer than two minutes in length.
Movie tickets will go on sale as soon as the trailer ends in the United States – although some countries are selling theirs already.
Depending on the game, the premiere time might differ with +-30 minutes.
New @starwars#TheForceAwakens trailer tomorrow on @ESPNMondayNight 1/2time or at @ElCapitanThtre w/ #DisneyInfinitypic.twitter.com/mccAiPJQRK

UPDATE!
A small update while we wait for the trailer. Kevin Smith has seen the trailer and here’s what he thinks about it (via Kenny Ritchie):
Grant has been a fan of Star Wars for as long as he can remember, having seen every movie on the big screen. When he’s not hard at work with his college studies, he keeps himself busy by reporting on all kinds of Star Wars news for SWNN and general movie news on the sister site, Movie News Net. He served as a frequent commentator on SWNN’s The Resistance Broadcast.
This trailer is going to f*#k your eyeballs.
Have you seen it?
No, I’m just being positive.
I’ve got the rest of my life to be disappointed if its rubbish. Until then I’m riding the hype train.
That post made my day! So true!
Haha, I really like that way of looking at it!
You mean is good or bad?
Good
I don’t have cable TV. I stream everything. When do you expect we’ll see the trailer (in an official way) online?
I’m sure once it drops on live TV it will be available right away on Star Wars’ Youtube.
If it game broadcast is 6:45—6:55pm Pacific Time, then I think we can easily assume the trailer will be posted online by 7:00 pm Pacific Time.
Guys, I’d just like to say that we owe a debt of gratitude to those who founded and maintain this site. Regardless of how the film turns out, what has gone into making this a respectable source of info leading up to release is admirable. And I’m going to do everything I can to see that the name “Viral Hide” makes it into Star Wars canon!
i am really surprised it hasn’t leaked. More importantly, when in the hell does the pre-sale start today? I’m reading comments from people in England who already purchased Tickets, but nothing here in the states.
I have the actual tickets in my sweaty English palms
@Rotcod:disqus
You can sign up for SlingTV. There is a week free trial and it has ESPN. Just cancel afterward.
Thank god somebody finally somebody made a countdown! it’s hard to translate the times to danish time
Got my tickets already! So freakin’ stoked!
Ass in seat
Best thing is I’ll get to watch it on December 17th, not 18th 🙂
Me too pal..Ordered them online and drove 30 miles to pick ’em up. 5.45pm on the 17th…finishes 8.30pm , then dinner on the boss !
Much as I love Star wars I won’t be staying up to 3am in the UK to watch this, seems strange they didn’t pick a time that wasn’t the middle of the night in Europe like the other trailers but still..It’s like Christmas…one..more..sleep
Yeah pretty ridiculous, guess i’ll have to watch it when I wake up.
Same here… Damn them.
Well you guys get the movie itself two days early so… I’ll trade you that for the earlier trailer >_>
Yeah there is that..we win !
J.J = Jar Jar Abrams ?
That’s what I will call him, if he fucks the movie up
What about J.J. Binks?
That’s a new one. Never heard that before. How long did it take for you to come up with that?
about 1.3 parsecs
i live in the netherlands and the sales started this morning, but because everybody wanted to buy the tickets online the cinema´s servers coudn´t handle the load so they made that you can only buy them in the cinema it self. had to cicle 10 KM to the cinema but it was worth it. make sure you think about it when the ticket sale begins in the US.
I’ll watch it about 1,000 times. Give or take.
Got my ticket 😀 and in IMAX never seen an imax movie before. The midnight showing had sold out I sniped a 17.00 showing uk time. They are selling like hot cakes
Got mine to!!!! Odeon liverpool one, 2.15 pm 17/12/15. All midnight tickets sold out in minutes the girl told me when i went to pick them up after work, she said it had been chaos and that she hadn’t seen anything like it. When i had those tickets in my hand i felt like a kid again and then soon after thought, what if its shit.
Had a smile on me face all day since I got mine. Don’t think it will be shit but expectation will be hi. I’m thinking so long as there are awsome saber fights Cool X wing tie fighter fights any thing ells is part bonus 😀
Same here.
Can’t think of a better time to pop my IMAX cherry than the release of a new Star Wars movie.
I’m thinking now do I go see another movie in IMAX just to get used to it but I’m shure I will be watching a 2D version a day or 2down the line. A compleatly difference expirance to phantom menace. A bad vhs copy landed in my lap a week before it was showing in uk.of corse I watched it 🙁 n I always remember that version though I went to see it straight away at the flics.
I have my tickets! Newcastle UK Odeon, Dec 17 00:01….just made my day
Sunderland Empire for me 🙂
Newcastle silverink odeon!
Already bought tickets for two screenings on 16 December 🙂
It will be 4 am here,but what kind of fan would I be if I don’t wait for it 🙂
I’d go with a 3:45am alarm, mate.
I couldn’t sleep of excitement
Although I undersand Disney’s thinking here in getting the trailer in-front of as many casual and non-fans of Star Wars as possible by releasing the trailer at half-time of Monday Night Football… but, by not releasing the trailer online this morning, they are doing a huge disservice to actual Star Wars fans!!! I just don’t agree with this peek-a-boo style of marketing given the already ridiculous amount of secrecy surrounding the film.
You promise a trailer in the fall, then you say it’s going to released on Oct. 19th, but then you say it’s only going to air at half-time of a football game that airs on a cable-only network between two teams most people (i’m guessing) could give a rip about…
Bad call, IMHO!
Agreed. While I can see why they want to air it during the game due to high TV traffic, it would do no harm to them to release it to the fans this morning or during the day.
Lighten up. It will be on YT immediately afterwards.
Look, I get that, and that was a million parsec’s from my point!!!
It’s to boost their other sub company, ESPN. It’s not stealing anything from star wars fans since we’ll all be able to see it on youtube at roughly the same time man.
So you’re validating my point, thank you, this is all about Disney using Star Wars as a marking tool for MNF than fan service! Which was my point… along with the fact that they could have done both. It’s not like Non-MNF Star Wars fans have no idea Monday Night Football exists!?!
4 Billion Dollars. Id cut them a little slack on the use of SW as a marketing tool, they certainly paid for the right to do so.
No one is arguing that they don’t have the right or shouldn’t use SW as a marketing tool, Reading comprehension is your friend!
Right like that wasnt your point. Ok. Maybe your the one with comprehension problems?
You said: “so you’re validating my point, thank you, this is all about Disney using Star Wars as a marking tool for MNF than fan service!”
So should they or shouldn’t they use it as a marketing tool Steven?
As I stipulated in the OP “Although I undersand Disney’s thinking here in getting the trailer
in-front of as many casual and non-fans of Star Wars as possible by
releasing the trailer at half-time of Monday Night Football… but, by
not releasing the trailer online this morning, they are doing a huge
disservice to actual Star Wars fans!!!”
That doesn’t negate the fact that they had an opportunity to service both!
If the trailer was online already I would be watching it and totally not watch the MNF game tonight. However, due to their decision to air this at halftime of the MNF I WILL be watching the game. At least the last couple of minutes of the half and all of halftime. Im sure im not alone. There are probably millions like me. Seems like a good strategy to me.
All that being said, im not discounting your opinion I just thought maybe you could see “why” they are doing what they are doing and how to me, its understandable, business wise.
After all guys like you and me are going to still go see the movie no matter what right?
I do get the frustration though. If Europe was getting the trailer at 8:30pm and I had to wait till 3:30am in the US, id be frustrated. No matter what someone was going to get frustrated, its a big world.
Chill dude. A couple of minutes won’t ruin you’re world or childhood or whatever. S’all good. Be happy, we have X-mas tonight.
You completely missed the point… excuse me for sharing my opinion!
I didn’t miss the point, and you’re opinion is fine. Not bashing. Just saying not to worry too much about the politics of it all. It’s really not that big of a deal. Disney, like all corporations, are there to maximize profitability. That’s why they’re doing what they’re doing. Don’t take it personally, instead be happy they are marketing to a broader audience.
You did miss the point because I already stipulated to your points. My point is that they could have serviced both and they chose not too!
Well, I don’t know what to tell you. It is what it is and you’re just gonna have to deal with it. Here’s some cream for your butthurt.
This reply is sophomoric! No one was crying or butt-hurt — I came here to share and opinion and engage in some friendly debate, but alas, douchenozzles are abundant on the interwebs.
Calm down. It’s all good. You’re opinion is just fine. Breathe.
You need to relax… it’s okay to not have the last reply. Maybe some warm blue-milk and a cookie for you?
Breathe. This conversation is a waste of time, bye-bye steven, hey, enjoy the trailer. It’s gonna be epic.
I knew you couldn’t resist. Bye and I’m sure we’ll both enjoy the trailer.
Look people, Disney paid 4 BILLION DOLLARS for this franchise. 4 BILLION. That was before dropping another 250-400 million on production of the actual movie. If they want to use a trailer to prop up another part of their business, so be it. Remember, if Disney hadnt bought this Franchise, we wouldnt be getting any more movies at all…… Besides, it will be online shortly after the premiere then you can watch it as many times as you want and whenever you want.
Geepers creepers…
This little screed is completely beside the point, The fact that they could have serviced the fans and MNF is… It’s not like Non-MNF Star Wars fans have no idea Monday Night Football exists!?! The point is moot!
“That was before dropping another 250-400 million on production of the actual movie.”
Production budget was $200 million.*

Right as shooting began. Who knows what it ended up actually costing….
wich is 3:22 am at my place. Ive got school the next day. Thank you soo much, this was great. >:(
Well, could you watch on your phone before you go to schoo?
December 16th, 11 am, The Hague IMAX, awesome!
HATRED RISING, JEALOUSY INTENSIFYING!
I promise not to spoil anything.
Star Wars News Net proving yet again it’s simply the best Star Wars news site.
Tickets for the 16th, 1.15 PM, Rotterdam!!! The Force is strong!
So jelly you guys get it a full two -days- ahead of us ;-;
Thanks for putting up the clock. Much appreciated. 🙂
Thanks SO much! this saves me a ton of hassle having to keep checking every few minutes. 🙂
So the trailer sounds well worth the wait.
Kevin…Always one step ahead of us.
He got to walk around on the Falcon set, too. We know how you got to see it. Stop making friends with people connected to making the films you ass.
Thanks for posting this. I’ve been just as exited as everyone else waiting for the trailer, but reading Kevin’s tweet ups it to 11!
He should just retire and be a studio hack since he’s much better at promoting other mediocore films than making his own now. Same guy who said that they’d finally get the Batman suit right in Dawn Of Justice…..only to use the same generic black suit minus the white lenses that we seen onscreen since 1989.
you clearly have no taste in movies if you dont think that the dawn of justice suit isnt designed by GOD himself compared to the previous ones
It literally gives Affleck NO neck.
http://www.empireonline.com/images/uploaded/EMPIRE_SEPT15Cover.jpg
It’s as accurate to the comics as the Holiday Special is as relevant to the Star Wars saga. Worse it’s being worn by Ben Affleck. Batman would not have time put on guyliner before he goes patrolling. It’s also not hard to identify Bruce Wayne’s eye color with his pupils visible to anyone.
Kevin Smith also had nice things to say about the PT. So his credibility is zero at this point. I’m sure if you gave him a few bucks, He’d do your kid’s birthday or let you use him as a work reference.
Did any of you powers that be think that not everyone has pay TV? Thanks for excluding us.
It’ll be online within minutes, chill…
That’s not the point.
I’d say it’s fairly reasonable to assume that you do have an internet connection, though…
How exactly are you being excluded? Like both of the other trailers, this one will be online almost simultaneously. At *most* you’ll be two minutes behind.
Thanks for the Force Clock! You guys are AWESOME! Anyone know when the trailer will be available to see on the web (Youtube for example)?
If the online release of the previous 2 teaser trailers are any indication, it should be up on http://www.youtube.com/starwars/videos immediately after the exclusive television premiere, or just a few minutes later.
The game starts at 8:15 EDT, not EST.
How many hits have you had on this site today anyway? I believe I’ve been here a hundred times waiting for that “TRAILER LEAKED EARLY” post
The force is strong with you
My awesome Girlfriend got our tickets while i was at work today,didn’t even know they’d gone on sale! IMAX as well 🙂
Being in the UK I’m a bit annoyed the trailer hits in the middle of the night,more because i can’t join in the excite here really
Same problem here, really going to miss the hype of counting down the time before the trailer.
alarm clock
I can’t afford to be in Zombie mode at work,not enough sleep = bad things happen haha
“And how did this happen!”
“… it’s Star Wars’s fault”
With an awesome girlfriend who either likes (or will at least watch) Star Wars with you, and buy you tickets, I don’t think you have much to be annoyed about 🙂
The timing couldn’t be worse for Eastern Europeans. If I stay awake during the night the day could be ruined, but even if I go to sleep I wouldn’t get much of it either. If I’m correct, at my place trailer drops between 4am and 5am.
Most people on the west coast of the US will be at work when the trailer drops. I have to find a way to sneak out and buy tickets 🙁
Live inn Norway, and got my tickets today for the premiere desember 16. Strange we get to see it two days before the US. Kind of unfare really.
From a fellow Norwegian: Well, maybe it is unfair (sic), but then, tonight we are being forced to stay awake until 3 AM just to watch a trailer which is being aired prime-time in the US. Hence it will be sweet revenge that WE get to see the actual movie two days before the Americans do!
So good luck avoiding spoilers, my dear trans-Atlantic friends! We will be posting detailed transcriptions of the whole darn thing before you even get NEAR a theater. You will have to stay unplugged and off the grid for DAYS, or every twist and turn of the movie will inevitably seep into your minds by sheer cultural osmosis. You will have to spend 48+ hours going LA-LA-LA while pressing your hands against your ears whenever somebody tries to talk to you. Who knows whether they are going to suddenly bring up the plot of The Force Awakens?
In fact, to stay truly spoiler-free you must lock yourself up in your basement on December 16th and stay there until the 18th, with NO cell-phones, Internet, TV etc. Have a friend drive you to the cinema and lead you inside, since you will blindfold yourself before leaving your basement. Earplugs are optional but likely advisable. Only remove the blindfold once you are secure in your seat.
Yes, with such due precautions there MAY be a 65 % chance that you will manage to stay spoiler-free. But don’t count on it.
Just booked my IMAX 3D tickets. Back row, right in the center. Couldn’t have gone more perfectly! Roll on December!!!
I would rather watch it in 2D though. It looks like 2D suits the director better.
Normally I’d completely agree with you, but this will be the first time I’ve ever been to IMAX, and if I was ever going to see a film in IMAX, this is the one. I’ll have countless other occasions to see the film in 2D, as I’ll certainly not be going only once lol Went 6 times to Revenge of the Sith, 4 times to Attack of the Clones, 2 times each for TPM and the Special Editions (was a kid back then, getting to go twice was a treat enough). Would like to think I’ll enjoy TFA enough that I’ll see it as many times as I did for ROTS.
Yeah. My only problem is that TFA was shot in 2D, so it will have to be converted into 3D.
Silliest time ever to post a SW tráiler. Half of the world is sleeping. It’s an insult for the rest of the world fans. And yes, overseas SW it’s a huge and enormous fenomenon too, if you didn’t know that.
I can only imagine the amount of money Giants and Eagles have paid for the exclusivity.
Sincerelly, here it will be like 6 in the morning and i’m not really happy about that.
Meanwhile those in the US have to wait -two days- more to see the actual film.
So true. Hehe 😛 But I have the same US date too. 18th. I think i leave in worst country ever haha 😉
Nah, you’ll be able to get a torrent about 2.3 hours after it premieres in Russia, China or Brazil 😀
I’m curious as to what you think about time zones. Which time zone should the trailer debut?
That’s easy, in the morning (US-time). Then it will be in the evening in Europe, so you got both biggest markets up and ready!
This makes no sense since it’s really no different from the original plan.
Regardless, let’s just chill and enjoy the trailer whenever it drops.
Well, it does make sense. Since they did this with the first and second Teaser trailer 😉
I was trying to say that. 😉 My english fluency is kaput. I think it’s not that hard to understand 😛 Thx SW7-TFA. I will need a lot off coffee to see the trailer at 6-7 in good conditions.
Isn’t half the world always sleeping? Or at least in darkness?
True, but you shouldn’t block out one of your biggest markets (Europe)
Maybe they’re trying to appease the Asian market? The first tv spots popped up there. Who knows. Someone was always destined to get screwed. Stupid round planet!
Could be of course! I understand it from a marketing perspective, but I just want to see it!
Lol
Maybe. I can understand that too. Just i didn”t expected to see the tráiler at 6 in the morning. 😉
At least you guys can buy tickets, the US isn’t selling them yet 🙁
As i said, i live in worst country ever. 😉 I can’t buy tickets neither
Star wars came from the US, so get used to it
most of the cast and crew don’t so get used to that!!!
We already are used to it, because we’re not the ones complaining.
I don’t even have to. nice response.
Half the world will always be sleeping by your logic.
Below you have a good response from SW7-TFA. I think it’s not that hard to understand to put the trailer in the morning (US time). Or even in midday or afternoon. All happy, at least you and me.
I was trying to say that. Logic for logic.
Anyway, i will be so asleep when it came here. Just i didn’t expected that.
Lol, the Giants and Eagles paid nothing for this, because it’s got nothing to do with them. ESPN (a Disney-owned network) has to compete tonight with another major sporting event (baseball postseason). A major bummer for SW fans across the pond, I know, but it’s all about the ratings.
Im in Australia and its 5:40 in the morning. Tickets go on sale for Imax in 2 hrs and 20 mins and the trailer premiers around noon. Its a good day
To all my European Star Wars Fans out there, please stop bragging about your tickets for December 16th, I am already anxious as it is to get mine tonight!!. Congrats though!
Luke Skywalker is Kylo Ren.
Who else would have Vaders helmet? Or know of its whereabouts? ?
Mark Hamill is too fat to be Kylo.
All black and professional cgi is a helluva drug
LOL come now, he lost a lot of weight for the movie. I dont think when filming was going on you could have called him “fat”. Certainly not skinny like Adam Driver. Ive seen some pictures with a skinny Kylo Ren, and ive seen a few with a not so skinny Kylo Ren. Guess we will see 🙂
Nope. He’s too fat, too fat to begin the training. All his life has he looked away, to pizza, heh, to hamburgers, heh, never his mind on what he was eatin’. A Jedi craves craves not these things.
Hilarious. I totally read this out loud in Yoda’s voice.
Porkins is on suicide watch now after reading that.
They’ve shown Kylo’s face. Definitely doesn’t look like Hamill’s, hah.
Deception. What about the photo of Driver in a rebels flight suit?
Also deception? Dunno. All I know is that they wouldn’t butcher Luke like that.
Except there is video of Hamill saying he wanted Luke to turn to the dark side
Not happening, man. Come back and talk all the crap you want if I’m wrong on December 18, but I legitimately believe there’s no way in Hell they’d do that to Luke.
I’m glad I didn’t bet anyone money on actor Adam Driver being cast as Kylo Ren, ’cause I could have sworn that he had.
Adam Driver has been confirmed to play Kylo Ren in all movie panels and interviews so far. There is no possibility then that Kylo Ren will be someone else. Besides, if Luke had turned evil, why would he be training Rey on Episode VIII ? Unless you are assuming Rey will also turn to the dark side by the end of TFA.
Let’s also think about this. David Prowse played Darth Vader, yet we never saw his face. Vader, played by David Prowse, voiced by James Earl Jones and when the helmet came off, he was Sebastian Shaw. Quite complex indeed.
I’m just gonna leave this here.
http://blogs-images.forbes.com/erikkain/files/2015/05/Star-Wars-Adam-Driver.jpg
9:45-9:55 PM EDT not EST. Anyone using a time zone converter will be off an hour if they use EST. You will want to start using EST on 11/01/15.
Well, I’m glad that they picked a time to release the trailer. If they hadn’t then we might not be able to watch it. On the other hand, there was a good chance that they were gonna release this trailer anyway so I suppose they were eventually going to choose a time to release it after all, since as human beings we experience the space-time continuum in a linear fashion. So in a sense you could say this was going to happen all along.
Brilliant!
Luke is Kylo.
Search your feelings you know it to be true.
You really think Mark Hamill can move like this?
no…BUT one picture of kylo ren is not like the others. the others showed a man of slender build while the other is a buff man in a kylo ren suit. i wouldnt be suprised that their is a big reveal in regards to that character
I just don’t see Luke turning to the dark side after his character ark in the OT where he specifically stands up to that. Afraid of his own powers and gone into hiding maybe, but turning to the dark side, no. It’d be up there with midi chlorians ruining the mystery of the force to just make Luke turn bad after he proved himself good.
If you listen to Mark’s early interviews he said he is used to playing villains… I’ll find it for you.
Anyway, I totally could see him playing a villainous or antihero type character in this new trilogy somewhere. I doubt that JJ and co. will do that but I wouldn’t leave it outside of the realm of possibility.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYY6Nr7g0sA
Dude (Unless you are being facetious) Did you not see the Vanity Fair article where they showed Adam Driver’s face minus the mask? Hamill’s a short little guy too.
Adam Driver is 6’3″. Mark Hamill is only 5’7″. Mr. Hamill would have to be on stilts to be Kylo Ren.
Plus Driver is a former Marine in his prime and Hamill is a senior citizen long past it. Totally different body types. Saying Daisy and Carrie are the same character is more believable since they look to be similar height.
Yeah, I’m not complaining! XD I feel very sorry for those who’s not in cinema the 16th! 😉
Got tickets 11.5 hours ago, websites were crashing, had to use 4 devices at the same time, I was buzzing all day at work! What a way to start the week. Loving this time zone!!
Took off work just so I could pace around the house and wait..
Got my tickets for 00.01 (that’s GMT) on the 17th today – it’s literally all I’m thinking about!
Gonna be worth the wait mate. Up extra early tomorrow to check out the trailer.
Taken the day off work for this and am literally buzzing! Tickets go on sale in 2 hours here.
You need to sort out your priorities.
Yeah thanks for that…
Fck priorities! This is star wars!
We are all going to get tickets and see the film at different times…. but we are all going to get tickets and see the film!!!!!!!
Just bought tickets for the midnight screening in the night from the 16th-17th. Tears of jooooyyyy
people saying kylo ren is luke…all u need is to see the teaser to realize that kylos walk is definetely not mark hamils. Besides that, and more importantly, thats just stupid, the worst plot speculation ive ever heard about this movie so far. Kylo Ren being Jar Jar Binks would be better then that.
They’ve also clearly not seen the Luke promo pic, or heard Adam Driver’s voice being used for the Kylo Ren toys… I know there’s all the speculation on secret Skywalkers, but Luke is still going to be a Jedi. He’ll be the Obi-Wan of the trilogy, just like he was told by George Lucas back in the day.
Don’t think people are speculating Luke is Kylo Ren. But Luke could be the leader of the Knights of Ren. Creating a new Jedi order, without the knowledge of the past, could have disastrous results. And why would he want to recreate the Jedi order? They were not perfect, they were naive. Also creating a huge new Jedi order would put the force out of balance again.
We will see, until the Dec 18 we can just speculate.
Luke was tempted by Palpatine to join the dark side, but he didn’t.. There would have to be a very strong reason for him to turn, which would then require a prequel to the sequel to be explained in a convincing way.
I hate the dark side Luke theory. Like you said, Palpatine already tried. He’s already proved himself. Give us grand master skywalker
There are images of Kylo without his helmet on. If Mark Hamill can reverse the aging process.. no even then it still wouldn’t be Luke.
I wonder if the hunger games will be selling like this sold out paced showings every where
“You really think Mark Hamill can move like this?”
LOL! Oh, funny. But I’m sure Mark Hamill’s STUNTMAN can! Heh.
They are selling in my country for the premiere, but it’s the dubbed version!!! No way, take the premiere to hell with dubbing.
You sure they aren’t doing an ‘original version’ showing? Here with animated films they release a dubbed version, then the original version with subtitles.
Which country?
Dubbing is the cancer of movies. I will never, ever watch ANYTHING that has been dubbed. Ever.
The trailers a pain in the ass for us in Britain it comes out at 2 in the morning. Gonna be a late night.
i am putting my alarm on for 2 mate lol
I hope they release it online soon after it gets aired, so I can watch it right when I get back from class. 🙂
2 in the morning i find it reasonable. 😉 then you can sleep 5/6 hours. if you can sleep after that 😛
It’s worst here. 4 in the morning Four hours from now. And 8 to go to work… In the middle of nowhere 😛
no man, more like 4am GMT
Thank you for the countdown, needed this. This is going to be amazing… Everyone ready their reaction videos!
Reaction videos suck.
Oh man really? Ive watched TFA ones about 100x. Totally cool in my book, love em.
Same here.
Nuh bro. I f*ckin’ hate ’em. Absolute narcissism and what’s wrong with the selfie-obsessed world today.
Agreed about the narcissistic selfie obsessed assholes in the world today, however, for TFA in particular I enjoy the reaction clips. Mostly because im so excited to see other people as enthusiastic as myself.
What’s wrong with people expressing the joy of liking something that you probably like as well?
Nothing, but devoting a video to their crying and guffawing and facial expressions as they watch something is completely self-indulgent and makes me want to dry heave. The only “reaction” video worth watching to me is Mr Plinkett – that man actually has something to say.
I like both reaction videos and Mr Plinketts videos … I guess I need to go home and rethink my life
there’s a reaction video for everything now. There are probably reaction videos of reaction videos. I seem to recall it starting with 2girls 1 cup. That sick crud warranted reaction videos, I don’t think pretty much anything else does. IMO reaction videos are very much of the kardashian era. I remember when Kardashians were just baddies on star trek.
So that should be 8:45-8:55 PM Central time. I’m actually skipping the first week it comes out just so the crowds die down a bit.
I wanna know: HOW DID KEVIN SMITH SEE IT?????
lol
Someone inside LucasFilm or Disney showed him ?
Hopefully whoever let Kevin see it leaks it so we all can…..that’d be awesome.
Kevin has been a die hard fan of Star Wars forever, and you can tell by many of the jokes he uses in his movies that relate. I’m sure he has some major connections in the industry since he’s a director and actor himself.
He probably just knows one of the editors or something and asked if he could see it.
He and JJ are buddies from what I’ve heard
Would you really watch a leaked version? Man I wouldnt. I want to see it in HD with surround sound coming from my kick ass 45′ HDTV and Sony Surround system.
I absolutely would. Are you kidding me? F**k yeah, I’d watch it filmed with a potato! Don’t try and say you wouldn’t….you know you would 😛
One thing though is that Kevin Smith praises pretty much anything though….his opinion unfortunately has little merit for me these days. He’s the biggest “fake” fanboy I know, and I’m tired of him being the “voice” of the geek community…
Fair enough. However if he praises “anything” then he had to be right a few times too right ;)?
Yeah, I don’t generally like it when a celebrity or anyone with influence says something and the entire community just swoons at what they say.
It’s the same with redlettermedia, or totalbiscuit.
I get that you can be more credible with your opinions or have valid points, but it’s not true that what they say should be the law and everybody who disagrees doesn’t know what they are talking about because that goes against what the influential person said.
Everybody should form their own opinions and maybe they should discuss them, and not just jump on the bandwagon.
JJ invited him to visit the set during filming. Not surprised he got to see it.
Kevin Smith: Just to remind you all, I am still here.
I used to enjoy Football, they need 20 breaks. They play for a few seconds, then they have to take a break. Then I crossed over to real football, (soccer), non-stop action, with 1 break. I will endure tonight’s games, only for Star Wars.
Lol, you shouldn’t insult football so much. All the ‘Muricans will come flooding in.
Hear hear!
For the first time in my life I have set my DVR for an American football game. Just to see the new SW trailer. OMG! I didn’t even know what channel ESPN was on. Disney/Lucasfilm, marketing? WTF!?
Lol!
I really like your comment! 😉 Enjoy (the trailer) 😛 I will see it in the morning!!
If you’re not in the U.S you don’t get American commercials.
Want to see Han & Chewie in action.
Like hot man on beast action?
“Can’t say how but I saw tonights trailer”.
He can’t say how he saw it, because it’s available on the internet somewhere! Right now!
sent by email
Where are those hackers? 😉
They’re trying to decide which hat to wear.
He can’t say how he saw it because he’s the Lord Emperor of Nerddom. My guess is that JJ pulled him aside and said “Hey, Kevin! Here, check out our trailer!”
Maybe it’s a google thing? Like typing in “Do a barrel roll” spins the screen.
Well done on the timer to the SNN. Not being in the US I was confused about the timing of the trailer. Expected it to be here already. I now can see it about lunch time here on the phone.
Im sick of waiting for the clock
Has anyone in Europe (or pretty much anyone NOT in the USA) bought tickets for the SW Marathon – assuming it’s available there?
Star Wars marathon? Nah, haven’t heard of it.
Australia!
Haven’t seen any announcement of a Star Wars marathon here in Spain yet, but they’ve done it for some other movies so it wouldn’t surprise me if they did one for TFA too.
Ooooh, Spain. Sounds exotic.
I’m excited…
My day at work is crashing precipitously in the past 2 hours……I need this.
Ok guys. Time to sleep here, in the fu….. western europe. Hope you enjoy the trailer!!!! The sneak peaks look astonishing. Insane times for being a Star Wars fan! Good night and good luck!
May the Force Be With You
And also with you
may the force be with you
Thought It was gonna be another video of a stupidly high Kevin Smith blowing his load. Like the guy a lot but he’s just annoying now a days. Anyways cant wait for the trailer.
He’s been annoying for a while. A few years ago he tried to start a feud with Howard Stern cuz Stern wouldn’t have him on the show. Later he started dissing Bruce Willis because Willis said he was tired of Die Hard fans saying “Yippee Cayay MF”
Another European off to bed here.. looking forward to the morning (for a change) Enjoy everyone!
https://media.giphy.com/media/5yzvlzQFqePni/giphy.gif
Pays to be American today. 🙂
But not come December! 🙂
Right it really is bed time now 🙂
I’m from Europe and I’m staying awake for this
On the other hand, December 18th comes a few hours earlier over here. I already got my tickets for the 12:01 am screening, which will still be December 17th 6 pm EST 🙂
Time to hit the sack for me too… Cup of tea with the trailer in the morning
Kevin Smith is a jammy c***! Could have at least filmed it on his phone for us lot or something!
Whelp….gear up those reaction cams ladies/gents…you’re on in a few.
right bedie byes if i can sleep, fingers crossed, alarm clock set for 4am
Does anyone know if it will be shown on ABC?
ESPN only.
What’s football?
LOL epic!~
lolz+
Best eva!!!
Tickets purchased down here in australia!! 3 hours til the trailer!! CANT WAIT!! WOOOOOOO!!! May the force be with you all!! 🙂 xx
Ye me too!!! Had to search like 5 different venues but i got it. Here we come December 17
yep, almost didn’t because Hoyts it’s fucking hopeless, but we’re finally on the home stretch now!!
Couldn’t give a rat’s ass what Kevin Smith thinks.
YES!! THANK YOU!
He really turned me off when he got into a feud with Howard Stern and then later Bruce Willis. He just seemed like a gossipy little girl crying for attention.
Looks like a lot of theaters are doing Wednesday 16th night at 1am showings. You can get tickets from fandango now. But in my area. Looks like NJ and NY.
They are showing the available times but you cannot purchase them yet. Trust me I keep refreshing the page lol
Still what’s up with that? The movie starts on the 18th but they have showings on the 17th at 7pm and 16th at 1am?
Disney has tweeted they’ll be showing the trailer at a Disney AMC theatre at 6:45 pacific (9:45 EST) https://twitter.com/DisneylandToday/status/656234378742378496
Surprised nothing from this trailer has leaked yet. There must be a guy at ESPN surrounded by armed guards with the trailer in a brief case chained to his wrist.
…maybe not.
Lol that would be the best.
I’m in Hawaii on my honeymoon and I’m sitting here staring at my phone waiting…
As a true Star Wars fan would *salutes*
Risking divorce for the sake of the trailer! Your priorities are correct! *salutes*
You were married to Star Wars first, it’s only fair.
haha
BoycottstsrwarsVII is #1 trending Twitter right now. Wtf?!
Ass hats that no real SW fans will miss nor cry for. Well rid!
True, but since when has Twitter ever exploded with such hatred over a movie? This is really disgusting, and shows where many peoples values lie.
“This is how democracy dies, with thunderous applause.”
Might not like the prequels, but GL just made his point.
Apparently it’s because the movie is ‘anti-white propaganda’.
The guy put that hashtag as his account name.. Every single time someone responds to him its getting into TT
Yeah, but the fact that it’s trending #1 says a lot. It’s sickening.
Actually its mostly just people saying how stupid it is. I checked it out and there was only like one tweet out of hundreds that was actually supportive.
You know you’re getting old when you purchase 9:30am tickets for a new Star Wars movie and NOT the midnight tickets… oh well, at least I’ve got my tickets 🙂
“Kevin Smith weighs in” Hey don’t be mean to the guy.
he’s on the show ‘@Midnight’ tonight too
Is that the one on Comedy Central with Chris Hardwick? Or something else?
In New Jersey, the AMC LOEWS NEW BRUNSWICK 18 has tickets ready to purchase on Fandango right now (buttons are enabled). That’s an IMAX theater!
Is it a real huge IMAX screen? or one of those converted little digital LieMax screens?
My guess is liemax, but I haven’t been to it.
Just got my tickets!!!!! Whew that was a rush!! Just gotta keep myself alive now.
LOL isnt it sad to even say that? I mean i started thinking last January, “wouldnt it suck if I got cancer and a 6 month diagnosis? Id miss TFA”. I have a Wife and 2 Kids and that was my thought……haha sad but true. I mean I was thinking just yesterday “well even if i had a brain tumor I should make it to December 18th!”.
Woohoo! just got my tickets — 7:00 PM on Dec. 17!!!
Same here! BTW I like your avatar.
Actually you European guys got it right. Go to bed. Wake up see trailer in morning as many times as you want, come to boards where the trailer will already have tons of comments about it to read about.
That is sensible. Or do what I’m doing. Stay up ridiculously late in hope it will drop online immediately, watch repeatedly until its time to work, and then regret!
I hope you get everything your looking for Greedolives!!
I think I’ll be satiated. Disney seem to be well equipped to fight on al fronts. If not I’m more interested in what they choose to show/not show than an ‘experience.’ I can settle in properly anytime for that. Give me low res filming of a TV and ill be a happy camper!

Tickets on sale at AMC in Ohio. Had first pick of seats in reserve seating theater!! Got them for Friday 4:45! I’d do midnight, but I’m old. But my little kids are coming!!!!!!!! Bought 7 seats for family, plus a couple!
every AMC theater doing the marathon in Ohio and Kentucky are gonna be friggin sold out by the time I get on the site…LOL. I am about to freak out! after what happened in Europe last night, they should have prepared! ahhhhhhhh! haha. man I just checked the site around 4:00 before I left work and they weren’t on sale. 🙁
great Mon nite! Star Wars, Gotham, Fargo, Big Bang Theory.. omg =)
Fandango is selling tickets NOW!!!! I just bought mine! I don’t know if they are supposed to be but check the site and the app. Get your tickets!
the site is completely crashed right now, good thing they waited until AFTER the trailer to start selling tickets………………………………………………….. 🙁
Yeah been trying Fandango for a while now and their TFA ticket link is fubar.
Fandango totally crashed.
So freaking excited! Cannot wait!
Also, will it be post up here when its up?
You know they will. This site rocks.
1998…Kevin Smith thought Phantom Menace previews was gods gift #reputation
In fairness to KS, PM trailers were epic. The music and atmosphere with the droid invasion was awesome! Movie didnt was total piece of shit. I think its one of the reasons im still so mad about the PT’s. Great trailers, bad movies. Same thing with Prometheus. So yeah its very possible the TFA trailer is as good as he says.
Agreed, the trailers were great. The movies… Not so much.
But i just cannot wait for this. This year gonna be cemented as my best one yet! (Starwars begining again, College, 18,) Just a freakign awesome year!.
I envy you. Im 44 and when we got Star Wars it was the 3 movies and that was it. You get movies in between, comics, books. The guarantee of at least 8 more movies (if you count the off spring movies). Enjoy it!
Lol I shall. Its just feels so sureal.
Has Smith actually come out and said … I called it wrong?
Or is he still the go to guy for promoting crap movies #startrekintodarkness
Just your opinion.
In my opinion prequels where great. I really like every Star Wars movie so far.
Yeah we know your opinion on the PT’s. Glad you enjoyed them. Hope you continue to do so. Just stop trying to tell the rest of us they were good.
To each their own. Thats what we have to keep in mind.
Ugghhh not this argument again. Yes “to each their own”. Thats why i told Lora I hope she continues to enjoy the movies. I think Caddyshack is one of the greatest movies of all time; my Wife wont watch it for 5 minutes she thinks its the stupidest thing ever put on film.
However I will never try to claim Caddyshack is a “good movie”. Quirky, and unique, but it was never gonna win any Oscars. So some people actually enjoyed the PT’s. Good for them. I spent my money watching them. But dont tell intelligent people they are “good” movies.
stay on target……don’t fall for the PT arguement trap!! There are so many SW fans online right now it may crash this site! 😀
Wait… Its too late! Lol Sorry i had to.
So we who like them, we are not intelligent?!
So that means that most people in the world are not intelligent, considering who much money they made in cinema and from blu-ray sales. And how many time they where on TV.
So maybe you are the one who is not intelligent and blinded by OT nostalgia.
No Lora liking them is NOT un-intelligent. Trying to tell people that poorly made movies (bad script, bad acting, bad directing) are good movies is un-intelligent. Im not on here trying to tell you Police Academy 6 is a good movie, even if I really enjoyed it as a fan of the franchise. If i was doing that, most people would call me an idiot.
Nope un-itelligent is to present just your opinion as a fact.
You are just blinded by nostalgia. You hate PT because they are not carbon copy of OT. You will hate ST.
For people like you, everything star wars out of OT is bad.
Your opinion and just your taste is not above mine my boy.
Nope. The PT was destined to be nothing like the OT since it was BEFORE the OT. I just wanted movies that looked, felt, and WERE Star Wars. Plot be damned. Instead I got 3 movies of horse shit. Im not presenting my opinion as fact anymore than presenting Coors Light as an alcoholic light beer. The PT’s acting, script, plot, direction, were horrible. That is fact and no rethinking or PT love will not change that fact.
Nope not a fact, just your opinion. Again you are arogant.
Your opinions are not fact.
And I’am really annoyed by haters who present their opinions as fact. And call others who disagree with them un-itelligent.
You boy will hate TFA. I’am sure.
With every praise that movie get, you will hate it more and more.
You stop trying to tell rest of us they are not good. It can go in both ways.
You stop trying to tell rest of us they are not good. It can go in both ways.
No Lora let me help you out: the PT movies are lauded as being terrible for the following reasons: bad acting, bad script, bad directing, bad cgi, bad story, bad contunality, bad story…. none of those things has anything to do with your, or mine, love of Star Wars. Thats normal evaluation on any movie based upon its merits. Lucas produced movies that had horrible scripts, horrible acting (party due to the horrible scripts), no discernible story with any kind of contunality.
Enjoy them. I do with my kids. But STOP trying to claim they are even close, even remotely close, to good movies.
Really.
ROTS 80% on RottenTomatoes and certificated fresh
AOTC 67%
TPM 57%
So critics is also stupid and you are the only smart one here?!
Acting in PT are not any worst than in OT. In OT Hamill and Fisher are awful.
Script is just fine.
Story is just epic.
CGI was groundbreaking back then 16 years ago. And even now it looks just fine.
So you stop with your hating. It is just annoying and groundless. You are maybe 44 years old, but you have a brain of 12 year old.
Just because you do not like something, that does not make your taste/opinion a fact, my boy.
And there it is. The PT apologist go to play: the Rotten Tomatoes ranking. First off im a HUGE movie goer and I can tell you that Rotten Tomato ratings are flimsy at best. Why? Because they are based upon percentages. How many people WANTED TPM to be good? AOTC to be better? The ROTS to at least redeem Lucas and his horrible PT’s? LOTS, LOTS and LOTS. So the intial rating by MILLIONS of people was skewed. Those of us who are objective know that there are millions of people who regret that first initial RT rating. I know I did. So did almost everyone I know.
Take a RT poll today and i bet the numbers are horrible. Look we all know they would be. I mean TPM and AOTC were worse than Scream 4. So that should tell you what their real RT score would be. You cant polish a turd. Statistics and PT rage love will not make the PT’s good movies.
They are not. If you want people votes just go on IMDB. It is the same. They are serval times more 10 ratings than 1.
You really need to realize that if you do not like some movie, does not make that movie a bad. That is only your taste and opinion.
Your opinion is not above mine or anyone else. I myself not only like these movies, to me they are good movies and ROTS even great movie.
So basicly you are arogant. And you are acting like 12 year old crybaby.
No im sorry Lora its apparent you are a fan boi idiot. I didnt want to get personal but its come to that. Do you watch movies? If you do, do you pay attention to the story, to the continuity, to the plot? Do you then move on and pay attention to the actors, the way they deliver their lines, the environment they create, the atmosphere? Do you pay attention to the lines they say, whether they are relevant, fit in the story, advance it? Do you follow the story to the end and go “oh ok, I get it now, nicely done!”. Its called mystery. Its called intrigue. You can defend the PT’s all you want. You seem married to the idea. AGAIN, im glad you enjoy them. I still watch them with my kids because for kids under 5 they are great! As far as cinematic achievements they are up there with some of the worst movies ever made. Im sorry you cant accept that.
Yes I do. You are the one who dont.
You are blind OT fanboy.
All things you criticize about PT can be applied to OT.
In fact critics hated OT back then.
Ford and Alec hated Star Wars. For them these movies where awful.
So my boy just your opinion. You really need to Coming to terms with the fact that tastes are different.
And that your tastes and opinion are not above mine or above anyone.
We are all here on the same level.
Good for you. I really can’t stand any of them but number 3, but if you like them all, that’s even more for you to like 🙂
Number 3 would have been acceptable as a companion to 4-6 had Lucas not decided to have Annakin kill a bunch of children in his ‘fall’ to the darkside. It ruined the entire PT. Nice writing idiot.
LOLOLOLLOLOLO
Really. So when Tarkin and Vader killed entire population of Alderaan ( millions of kids there ) with Dead Star that did not ruined the whole OT to you?!
No because Tarkin was introduced to us as a bad guy, he is a bad guy, and his morality isnt in question. Nor does the writer even attempt to redeem him to us. He is not redeemable. But Annakin, well he is this poor lost soul who is mis-led by his passion to be bad. We want him to be redeemed in the OT, right? At least my generation did. Lucas set your generation to feel the same. But how do you redeem someone who murdered a ton of kids for his attempt to save his Wife who died anyways in child birth and was never gonna follow him down to the path of darkness anyways? I mean my 14 year old son could write a better script and story. Horrible. Just really really bad writing.
Darth Vader together with Tarkin destroyed Alderaan with Dead Star.
So Darth Vader did killed millions of childrens in ANH. So my boy you are contradicting.
Also that does not make story bad or horrible.
Darth Vader was evil. And when someone is evil it is evil.
God did you even watch the OT’s or are you such a PT lover that you dont even know what your talking about? Darth Vader had NOTHING to do with blowing up Alderon. Darth Vader was redeemable until he killed the ‘Younglings’. After that stupid, idiotic, crazy scene by Lucas, Vader could live forever in a Darkside hell for all anyone cares. Or do you think his actions were justified?
WOW such a big OT fans and you do not know nothing about movies you like.
Vader did killed these people together with Tarkin.
He did not complain, he supported him. And he would destroyed more planets with him if that was possible.
In real life he would be sentenced for having supported the genocide.
I’m not a complete Prequel hater but I definitely agree with you that the Prequel teasers were fantastic.
Thats the thing, im not a complete PT hater either. I know it sounds like it but look; im a Star Wars fan. Even after the soul weretching disappointment that was TPM, I still looked forward to the other 2 movies with the same childish enthusiasm. I own them on Blu Ray DVD and I watch them with my kids. There are things I really enjoy, though they seem to be so short lived (as was the style of writing). But, as a movie and book enthusiast, there are just so many ‘cringe’ moments in the PT’s. Not just bad script but bad acting. Bad placement. Bad delivery. Bad everything. It breaks my heart.
I dont make movies for a living and I dont have a billion dollar fortune behind me, but I find myself watching the PT’s and saying to myself “I would have dont this a totally different way…”
This. This is what i totally agree with. And i think I have the answer to why i still like the prequals to a degree.
Its because of the potential they had. So. Much. Potential 🙁 And its there sometimes! With Yoda vs Sidious. That was just epic. Darth maul. Just, why did they have to kill him?! ugh. So sad. But thats why i have such high hopes with this one. They have seen what has happened and what you should not do, and so they are wiser with this one i think. But we will have to wait and see in the end.
Agreed :). Yoda vs. Sidious was awesome. Maul was badass and the trailer set him up to be even more badass than Vader, though that never came about……so much potential. Its even more compounded when you consider the fact Lucas actually got it right with Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. The actors he chose were perfect.
😉
This is great art. Drink deep and let the hype flow through you.
Kickoff!
Alarm has gone off,I’m up……..1 and a half hours to wait 😐
Touchdown gints
Go home team! Lol
“Trailer hype can lead to disappointment. Disappointment to anger. Anger to hate. Hate to…”
“Oh shut the **** up, Yoda!”
“Shutting the **** up am I.”
:
Got my tickets for Dec 17th here in Oakland, CA. I just happened to check Fandango about 30 mins ago and got them. Whewwwwwwww! I almost can’t believe it.
AMC employees told me directly on no fewer than three phone calls that tickets in NYC would not go on sale until the trailer aired. And now the entirety of NYC is sold out for opening night.
Not sure what is going on. On Fandango right now I can buy tickets for 9 major metropolitan cities in the US; but you cannot buy them for Green Bay WI. A city of 200,000 people? I wonder how that arrangement came about?
First time I’ve ever regretted cutting the cable lol
I hear ya!
I heard there is an online streaming company offering 30 days of ESPN free if you sign up. Look it up? Otherwise no worries my friends, Youtube will have it if not BEFORE the half time release, very shortly after!
I can’t go on fandango its not loading for me the server crashed to many people want those tickets.
When it comes to half hour left. I will re watch all the teasers we have so far. Should put me in the right mind frame 🙂
Watching the game, they just had their first commercial for a “special Star Wars halftime” … YAY!
Lucky stupid cable cutting football.
Anything new with it? Or just a clip we seen already?
No, it was just a quick lead-in (I misspoke with saying commercial) with the force awakens logo and the standard SW theme music … Just exciting seeing that its happening so soon
Hey guys I got my tickets before fandango crashed and just bought my secondary tickets on cinemarks website, its running with no problems! go go go!
I’ve been to cine ark, and they are not selling.
Seeing December 17 showings in the US at the main IMAX theater in the area but the 7pm appears to be sold out.
Looks like some places in the US didn’t wait till the trailer showed to put tickets up either.
Got my tickets. Now I just need the trailer. Run the ball. No incompletions. No injury timeouts. No replay reviews. I need a fast moving game!
What if – just what if – this film is absolutely awesome? I’m counting on ‘not as good as Star Wars and Empire but better than the prequels’ quality. ROTJ level of quality, really. But what if it exceeds that? Seems unlikely to me but could be possible.
As someone said before. To match the level of hype that is being generated for this movie. It would have to be one of the best movies ever made. No other movie has had THIS amount of hype before. It would have to be perfect in every way and cater to everyone. Thats the level it would need to reach to beat or even match Empire quality.
True
ROTJ is not better than the prequels. ROTS is much better movie.
Your an idiot. So a movie (ROTS) that shows Annakin killing a bunch of kids and then arguing with his teacher about morality, and a movie that has one of its main characters (Padme) die of a broken heart is better than ROTJ? Your blind with PT love.
It’s just an opinion, man. I don’t think anyone should be called an ‘idiot’ over an opinion about a movie.
You are an idiot if you think that your opinions are above mine or above anyone else.
We are all here on the same level. And we all have just our opinions and taste.
Taste and opinions are not facts.
You hate prequels?! Good for you.
I and many other people in the world love them.
ROTJ is the weakest and the least interesting Star Wars movie in my opinion.
Jabba palace and Ewoks are 1000 times worst than Jar Jar.
I don’t agree but I’m glad you enjoyed ROTS. I didn’t like any of the prequels but I’m glad they’ve found an audience. Whatever makes ya happy.
I don’t hate the prequels as much as other people and I think RotJ is the weakest of the original trilogy, but this is just a silly comment.
Why?
Even critics agrees with me.
ROTS 80% on Rottentomatoes
ROTJ 79%
ROTS 68/100 on Metacritic
ROTJ 52/100
ROTJ is my favorite movie. :
It is my least favorite. I only like Death Star part of that movie. Jabba palace and Endor parts are bad.
I personally “hope” this movie will be good, there are couple or reasons to think so:
– JJ Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan are working on it.
– They knew that I-II-III was a failure, they know EXACTLY why it was a failure. It was just one big TRAILER about something and about nothing. Nothing memorable, no memorable emotions. They know about it. They know we know.
– They seem to speak about how they want to make this movie good – explaining ‘why we want something on the scene and what is the purpose certain of scenes’. And saying that: ‘we didn’t want to show scene just because there was millennium falcon in it”
– They use “real” places, “real” stuff, and “real” ‘monsters’. It is already worth something to watch, even though it won’t exactly look like the ‘old type’ of star wars movies. It won’t be exactly the same – but it will be technically much better than i-ii-iii and the only think to worry is about the ‘soul’ of this movie.
Actually I’ve always liked rotj more than empire…
Why do I feel like the the timer for the trailer is getting longer and longer.
If anyone has any information on ticket sales in Korea, please reply here: I can’t find anything online 🙁 🙁 🙁
I’ll get one for ya: $10,000.00 American, no problem 🙂
God I’m so sick of KS’s dribbling over this movie.
I just checked the game score, and OH MAN! …my heart sank….
The score is tied 7-7, 1:08 remaining IN THE 1ST… which means: these are going to be LONG quarters!
Don’t these players know WE HAVE A TRAILER TO GET TO!
Dude I bought my tickets around 7:30 EST thought it was a fluke, but it was legit! I think Fandango dropped the ball and started early by accident!!! The site is still down!!! Got my IMAX 3D Reserved Seating!!!!
I can’t get onto Fandango. Ugh
Use movietickets.com, got mine there.
At least I live in a small city and full of non star wars fans so I thing I will be okay with tickets.
DAMN YOU ELI!!!!
“Is it halftime yet. NO dang it?”
All these sites are down
All the sites are down…. When was the last time a movie did that?
I knew this game would take forever. These teams are awful running the football. Ugh.
‘can’t say how’ — gee it’s not like you’re a director and friends w/ jj. shocking! also, i feel like im watching south park the terrance & phillip / russell crowe episode where the boys basically put themselves through hell just to watch a sneak peak at the new film. lol
Anyone can update us on the state of the game? Is the approximation still correct?
About 13 minutes game time… Real time a little longer.
Make that 10 min
OMG! Wait…
Ugh Giants fumbled….this trailer better be epic cause the game is rapidly going down the toilet.
Its the NFC East. You knew it would be ugly.
Was able to secure my tickets through Cinemark’s website for 12/17 at 7 p.m. XD3D showing…..can’t wait!!
Ten miniutes in second half left!
Almost there!
Got my seats for IMAX just minutes ago. Brutally slow. AMC keeps crashing. Good luck everyone. Hope you get to see opening night.
Hah! got the ball back
i got on fandango long enough to see that every cinemark and amc near me in OH is sold out…lol
I pray and they are almost certainty going to release the trailer as soon as the trailer premiers at half time.
I can’t imagine they would want the rest of the world to see blurry ripped versions of it. Sure they will!
Splurge Trailer.
Is it possible for someone in Europe to warch the game? 🙂
yes. sports fan should be able to post links, but there are streaming sites that you should be able to pick up. there are enough American Football fans across the Atlantic….. Giants fans are for sure streaming the game over there.
http://www.time4tv.com/2011/09/espn_04.php this might work
Thanks guys! 😉
There are pirate feeds, but I’m just watching on TV (I’m in the city one the teams is playing in). Google for a feed, it’ll be about another 10-15 minutes till the trailer.
7:30 left in the half, which means 15-20 minutes in real time, depending of course … Woohoo
7-14 for the Eagles, 8:00 remaining in the 2nd!
You all know what that means! The Eagles HEARD US! They’re speeding up the game! (Stay on target, Stay on target!)
Watching all the starwars episode trailers again… my gosh. 4, 5, and 6…. I am dying of laughter. I didnt know they were that bad back then! lol
Back when they used the goofy “dramatic” voiceovers that are mocked these days in fake trailers 😉
LOL yeah. I mean, to be fair, it was the 70s and 80s. Both decades were a joke so it’s lucky we got any star wars hahaha.
Just drop the trailer already!!! Pleeeeaaase
Now this trailer and the tickets going on sale is how to break the internet.
When I first talked to my theater-manager friend about this, I asked him about whether the servers could take the barrage of purchases.
He said, “Oh yeah. They can take it.”
And he’s a hardcore SW fan. He knows exactly what the demand is.
Wow
Fandango is barely working, my IMAX theater isn’t even showing up on the list of theaters playing Star Wars. Hope they fix this soon.
556 game time left
I’m just glad Broncos are not playing. I would be torn from watching the trailer over and over vs watching the game.
Philly is doing pretty good. Better game than I thought it would be. Too bad after halftime I could care less who does what.
After this trailer lies the short, and yet agonizingly long, road to the film itself. We’re almost there!
I got my tickets in Mississauga Ontario Canada for 10:15pm Dec 17th 2015. Dead middle of the furthest back row of my nearest real IMAX 3D Cineplex. I’m so god damn excited. I can’t wait for the trailer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope this trailer breaks the interbet
This must likely will.
i hate American football. Get this crap over with so i can see my beloved trailer!!!!!
Barley got tickets before fandango crashed. Last IMAX showing of opening night. I don’t think I’ve seen anything sell out that fast before. The dark knight rises was bad but that was just insane, 30 mins on sale and the first two IMAX showings were already full.
Which simply means that these theaters will be adding TFA to additional screens. These pre sales help the movie houses book accordingly.
This is probably a marketing move to release tv spots saying “The fastest sold out tickets in history” to put more hype on.
Tickets for the 17th, check! Takes some Jedi powers to score them with the way these websites are acting. Now if halftime would just get here already. May the force be with you.
Timeout!!!
Oh, which means now, right? 🙂
Their torturing us just dangling the trailer in front of us.
My tickets are for the 16th 🙂 For when have you ordered?
no more football. Lets have some new trailer for all my fellow Star Wars fans!!!!!!!
im seeing tickets for the 17th all different times? wouldnt it just be midnight? i see 12:20 am thurs, too.
Oh snaps, I get to see it at 7:00PM in IMAX 3d, I thought I was going to have to wait until Midnight .
Now give me Luke! I hope he is at least in the trailer.
Luke is probably not going to be in the trailer they will most likely hold him back.
Wishful thinking though
I hope you’re right, I want to see him for the first time on thebig screen with hundreds of other sl cheering Star Wars fans.
Yep, I’m envisioning hearing the snap-hiss of a lightsaber and then a cut to my boy Luke.
I think it’s a near certainty that we won’t see Luke in the trailer. Hear him? Possibly. Hear about him? Likely.
Sheesh this sport moves sloooooooow
A major reason as to why it sucks
U probably won’t like baseball
Anyone going to see it in San Francisco on the 17th?
No, but in Denmark the 16th! 😀
I’m listening to all of my Star Wars albums, watching trailers, and overall getting myself pumped up as much as possible to see this trailer! I got my tickets and i’m eagerly awaiting my trailer!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We’ll see the trailer soon! 😉
God I feel like a kid on Christmas morning! Excited!
Just missing your milk to go along with Santa’s cookies!!!
True, good thing I got beer as a substitute!
T-minus 2 mins!
I love how Disney is holding back this the first full trailer being the only props to Disney.
These ticket sites are killing me!
Here we go! The wait is almost over!
it gets posponed for 30 more minutes
I hope it goes to youtube immediately, I aint got cable. Nor do I give a shit about football.
I am bashing my f5 key on the Star Wars youtube channel hoping for the same.
copy that

Don’t trust any links to a live stream of the game.
Why?
The links could lead to a virus on your system
Injury time out! C’mon man!
Just stand up and walk it off! it’s only 40 seconds left!
Watched all trailers for episodes 1-6. And rewatched all the footage we have of TFA. I am so ready now!
ANOTHER TIME-OUT???
OH COME ON!!!
3 minutes to go. Are my testicles supposed to tingle like this?
Watching an illegal stream of the game. Don’t count on that countdown. 40 seconds left in the half, counter says 3 min
40 seconds in football land is about 3 mins
Don’t these fuckers know we’ve got a trailer to watch?!
Even coughlin is like “WTF?”
Wow the trailer is amazing!!! I love it!
WHERE!?
Or are you joking….
link plz
WHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Link or it didn’t happen
That is just cruel…
I shall bullshit see
Bull
Thid is what I’ll be thinking real soon when I see it!
Sorry to American football fans, but what a silly game. You play a few seconds, and then you have to rest. Another few seconds, another rest. Of course, I’m particularly annoyed by this right now because I want to see the trailer, but I stand by my point…
I’m american and I think it sucks
I’m an American and I love it. Baseball too, and Star Wars.
Its an appalling game: a bastardisation of rugby league which itself is an appalling game.
And now I remember why I don’t like football.
Lets go!!!!!
Alô Brasil il il il!!!
É nóis
Salve!
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
So nervous LOL
God I hate football…
think my f5 key is broken.
Please let some amazing human being upload the trailer pronto….
Brasil !!!!!!!!!!
To all those wondering why Disney chose to air the trailer at a football game, remember that ESPN belongs to Disney and has been doing weakly recently.
Just saw the trailer. Incredible.
oh, fuck football
I’m about to lose my shiet
This is the only time in history that this many geeks have collectively watched a football game 🙂
Yeah, it’s painful.
Funny enough, this has cemented me being against football now. I use to like it, but not anymore lol
I’m staring at youtube waiting for miracles to happen
Do some football fan know when its time?
Like 2 minutes
YESS!
Momentarily
7:06 ? Wtf?
Hahaha cruel!
Hahaha Don’t they know there is a trailer coming??
COME ON WE WANTS IT
I don’t want to watch these apes slap against each other for a ball. I want to see explosions and lightsabers! I’m a simple person!!!
Fixed
Aurgh these clock douches should be shot
By a Storm Trooper
Sadly, they would still be alive then 🙁
Even time itself is rewinding to piss us off xD
Did halftime start?
One more play
No way! They have to kickoff!!!
it’s incredible. i literally cried.
The book is on the table!
We need it NOW
Sheesh
And now the history of football…
Haha
Where IS IT!
3 secs’nnnnb!!!!
Halftime

El contador se detuvo, donde esta el trailer!!!!
Half time!
Next up, before the trailer: NFL Hall of Fame Ceremony
Its time!!!

Football is stupid.
I hear they got Jar Jar for the halftime show

The Giants can’t keep up with fire power of this magnitude.
Screw you berman!

Fandango is down 🙁

What the hell is going on out here!
I’m in Australia. Waiting for a link.
Hurry it up already

They’re really gonna make us sit through Chris Berman’s idiocy? UGH!!!
i just heard the trailer has been postponed to next week.

Liar

Fuck yourself Mark, you dimwitted fool.
I love you Mark.
I must be Princess Zelda because I’m in serious need of a LINK!!!!

What the fuck. It’s just a stupid ball. Who cares?
meatheads do
HYPEEEE
The Force Must Have Gone Back To Sleep!
LOL!
Of course they have to show highlights. Berman has never been more annoying
The force needs to be awakened
Just a few more seconds!!!
“Back in 45 seconds”: the trailer cometh…

WOWW! XD OMG!!
Beautiful…
Tremendous
OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woah.
THAT WAS FUCKING AMAZING
Its the best thing i have ever seen
This is new. This is definatly new.
Thi will be going online for none US fans,right? or did I stay up all night for nothing
also up here: http://www.starwars.com/
Yes, Its available on Youtube for all
Where’s the next 2 hours and 16 mins
FUCK YEAH
I dont even know where to begin!?
Han & Leia’s love theme used, again a hint at their child being in the film?
Holy God. Is anybody elses jaw dropped right now?
Yep
Double Yep!!!!
WHOLE-EE-CRAP!!!
Amazing. I’m speechless. Just… wow.
Best scenes were the starships battle
WOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s here! ooohhhhhhhhhhhhh!
….aaaaaaaaand still no Luke
Yeah, I have to admit I’m a little disappointed, but then again, just imagine how awesome it will be to finally see him in the movie itself, on the big screen, come December. Hopefully it will be for more than just a minute or two…
Yes, in some ways the lack of Luke in this trailer excites me even more. In the Old Republic, there were thousands of Jedi. For Luke to be the last one, still, makes his role (however big or small) that much more important. Can’t wait!
That was truly phenomenal
also up on starwars.com
My body is dyeing its holding in to many nostalgic tears.
Welp, time to clean up this cum.
I’m in tears.
Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was amazing. especially the last part. Finn was like, woah!
I’m in a library at the university where I teach, surrounded by my students, and I’m tearing up staring at a computer screen…
Good use of sun flares, JJ! 😉
Trailer up.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGbxmsDFVnE
No Luke! It was awesome, but I am stuck on why the hell they feel so dang compelled to hide Luke.
Why JJ?
They’re holding a lot of things back and Luke is one of those things.
it wasn’t that good. i’m disappointed. i know nothing about any of the characters or the story.
I’ll guess you will have to see the movie then
It’s about a bunch of Star Wars stuff that happens 🙂
would you prefer to know everything before you watch it? I love that no one knows what to expect, or what direction the story is going. what could possibly go wrong!
It’s on Youtube!
The force is mysterious once again. Beg to believe witness it’s power. Join me in the buffet car of the hype train. The blue milk is fresh and there’s room for everyone cynic or not. The empire can be defeated all over again and I’m ready for the fight.
Kylo Ren’s voice is majorly goofy.
The scene where Rey is crying… You can see she is crying over someone.
There’s only a Solo chance who that is right?
1:45
But the person laying there doesn’t have gray hair…
Hmmm, mysterious…
MvS? Maybe he was a mentor to Rey and the shot of the ship leaving with Rey watching is him but they catch up later at Maz’ palace. She looks to attached to the death to have only known them for a short time
On the right side, it looks like Chewie
SPOILER ALERT!
This is only my guess.
Option A: Finn gets his arse kicked in the saber fight with Kylo. He loses his right hand and is consoled and cried over by Rey, who found him left for dead on that ice planet. I also suspect that IF Finn lost his right hand, that THAT’S that the robotic hand we see on Artoo, which probably happens towards the end of the movie. In my gut, I truly don’t think Luke is that hooded figure. As much as I want it to be, the movement of the figure just doesn’t seem like Luke.
Option B: Rey finds Finn severely injured but with his hand intact. She attempts to exact revenge on Kylo with Finn’s lightsaber and gets HER hand cut off and THAT’s the hand we see.
Again, all conjecture on my part, so don’t hate me here.
The freakin look on finns face when kylo fires up that saber is priceless.
LENSFLARES!
But aside of that, it looks pretty good
my faith in the franchise is now at an all time low.
???
lololol
That’s okay. More tickets for the real fans.
lol!
“Just let it in” “I will finish what you started”
Got to love these impatient children who want to know everything nooooooooow.
The wait is what makes it all worth it!
Loved it. Im glad they are leaving some secrets for us to find out at the theatre instead of giving it all away now. Im anxious to see the high res screencap breakdown.
Can’t say I got too emotional with the first two teasers, just thought they were amazing. But this trailer…cold chills and yes, I actually teared up a little. This looks just great, I can’t wait. No Luke yet? Well, see that’s okay, we need some awesome reveals for the movie. Really feel this thing is going to deliver, good job J.J.!
Looks like Kylo fights Finn without his mask on. Interesting
good catch
what the actual fu@&
Luke is in the trailer, putting his hand on Artoo
eeeh….. not feeling it.
You will be… You will be
The force is calling you… Just let it in.
Ok I’ll stop.
Trailer on youtube already at 200,000 something views in counting jezz
Still on the freeze frame of Kylo Ren and his Knights of Ren posse.
thats an epic shot
Ok, this one…. This one got me.
;_;
Just amazing. So much promise there…. And THAT MUSIC!
Either finn or chewy must be dead when rey is crying. I am gonna have to say probably chewy since leia is also seen crying in the trailer.
She’s crying while they are gearing up for the epic battle though. I got the impression that she was crying because she was scared she’d never see Han again
it looks like Finn’s jacket, it is not Han’s, his was a much darker leather.i doubt that was chewy.
Dammit, i hope they don’t kill off Luke.
He wont be killed off, isnt he already doing stuff for the next starwars movie?
Does not anyone notice that there is a new emperor standing on a ledger in the fist 30-48 seconds of the new trailer? Also in the last scene the with Finn the dark jedi no longer has their helmet but the same sword.
Proper sent shivers down my spine and brought a tear to my eye this has, I just cant wait
can’t find any nearby IMAX that ISN’T showing a 3D version. What happened to 70mm? Lame
can’t find any nearby IMAX that ISN’T showing a 3D version. What happened to 2D 70mm? Lame
this trailer makes me want to dig out our old betamax VCR and record it on to a tape. it’s October 21st tomorrow, if I go to hill valley do you think doc brown will deliver it to 7 year old me?
