With only two months before the premiere of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," many fans of the franchise have been wondering when a full-length trailer will be available, since all there is for the moment are teaser clips and a behind-the-scenes look shown during Comic Con last July.
Now, new reports claim that a new trailer will make its debut in a couple of days, along with the film's official poster. More details have also emerged about ticket sales, which will reportedly coincide with the trailer's release.
According to a report from i09, the official poster release will be on Sunday, Oct. 18., and the new poster is said to have the official logo of the movie as well. The franchise's posters have always been viewed as highly collectible items, and authentic posters for "Star Wars," "Empire Strikes Back," and "Return of the Jedi" can cost anywhere from $500 to $995 in online auctions.
As for the new trailer, Screencrush reports that it will arrive on Monday, Oct. 19 at around 8 p.m. EST. It is claimed that the trailer will appear on ESPN during a special "Star Wars" themed Monday Night Football, which would garner huge viewership for the trailer on the Disney-owned channel. It was also reported that the trailer will air during halftime. According to Slashfilm, if the trailer does air on television first, then it is almost certain that it will be available online almost at the same time.
After the trailer's release, tickets are expected to go on sale at around 8:30 p.m. EST. Screencrush reports that major U.S. chains were provided with ticketing information on the film on Friday, Oct. 16, and the website says that tickets are expected to be available right after the trailer airs. Fans who want to celebrate the franchise can reportedly avail tickets for "The Force Awakens" and the "Star Wars" Marathon, which will start with "The Phantom Menace" at 4 a.m. on Dec. 17 and end with "The Force Awakens" later that night at 7 p.m.
"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" premieres on Dec. 18.
