If so that means it'll be this and the JW trailer. I don't think we can handle that.

I don't care about JW. I just need the Star Wars trailer and a Niners win on Thursday.

It seems like Regal Cinemas jumped the gun on the announcement, but the trailer will debut this weekend!

What a crappy thing to do. Select theaters?

Yup. I doubt Regal will be the only chain involved, but I hope Disney/Lucasfilm aren't stupid enough to let shitty bootlegs to be most of the world's first look at the movie.

You really think they won't put it online either Thanksgiving Day sometime during the weekend?
"This Friday, the world premiere of Star Wars Episode VII trailer will be revealed at select North America theatres."
They clearly are not putting it online before this.
My estimate turned out to be right... sort of. I thought they might try to get it out the door before black friday to boost SW holiday merch sales. Turns out it will be directly on black friday? Close enough; I'll take it.
Also the trailer will be in front of EVERY MOVIE at those locations? Damn, son. So that rumor from earlier turned out to be true as well!
I think they will post it online sometime Friday (but hopefully on Thurs.) It's possible that Regal has a theatrical viewing exclusive for the weekend.
I think the reasoning is multifold. Disney is rushing this trailer out for the very important holiday weekend. They want SW on people's minds as they go into the biggest spending month of the year. That's no question. Also: Regal as a partner makes some sense, because as a frequent moviegoer you see a lot of these trailer/preview exclusives at Regal cinemas for some reason. Much more so than at AMC or other chains, at least based on my experience.
And the reason they are doing it in such a limited way is probably due to this super short timeframe. Disney has only just finished this trailer so even with digital technology they can't get it everywhere it would need to be in time, so instead it's just going to be limited and there will be a more standard trailer rollout to theaters in the coming 1 to 2 weeks.

He's long gone.
Many Bothans. . . oh wait that was the 2nd one.

A Suicide Squad-like film but with Star Wars' bevy of bounty hunters? Count me in.

Though to be fair I'm not feeling any of these spin off films at all. I just don't see the point at all..., and that's as a huge Star Wars fan.

So Kyle Katarn live action? He was part of that mission wasn't he?
Yeah, he'd seem to be the obvious choice for a lead (or a character based on him). The backstory works. Instead of stealing the plans by himself, he'd be hired by the Rebels as the leader of a team of bounty hunters trying to break in.

Ugh. Seriously? Pretty sure I don't want this.
EU was scrapped guys.... There is no Kyle Kataran anymore. I highly doubt they will reinvent him for a movie he isn't even a well known character.

That sounds absolutely perfect. Give me weird side stories.

So now the Fetts are the most important family in the galaxy after the Skywalkers. They helped create and destroy the Empire.

Haven't they already been heavily hinting that this will happen on Rebels?
To make lots and lots of money. Like every other film in the series.

Well shit I think I might go see a movie in Irvine this weekend. I've been meaning to take this girl that lives there to a movie.

They probably need something like that to give Rebels some credibility. Because so far (small sample size admittedly) it's not exactly the most compelling thing I've ever seen. It's watchable, but to give it some weight, having them involved in the acquisition of the Death Star plans would make sense.
Oh shit, it's really happening now.

They really need to have this thing online before then.
Not just because I'm impatient (I am) but because its guaranteed this ad they've been working on for over a month now is going to essentially "premiere" via potatophone if they don't.

I like this. A movie with new bounty hunters? I'm excite.
Although they would have to throw in a few familiar faces probably. Boba being the most likely.

The actual tweet says "THANKSGIVING" along with the photo. Maybe it'll debut online Thursday and then in theaters over the weekend? I hope so anyway.

but isnt that part of the hype? cellphones recording a hysterical audience clapping at everything?
oddly enough, I dont care much about that teaser, the descriptions sound so uninteresting. but of course I will watch it asap.

So going to play during the Cowboy or Niners game.
But that's the best way to watch Star Wars trailers...

He's never going to comment on it. Did you hear him on the last Tested podcast he appeared on? They barely mentioned Star Wars and then moved on. I guess he really doesn't want to piss Disney off. At the same time, it would've been nice if he talked about how he got the job. Rian Johnson has been super open about his Episode 8 involvement, but I guess he's more established so he doesn't have to be afraid of saying the wrong thing.
In fact, I sadly doubt if he will ever come back to GAF. I enjoyed reading his posts on here, but seems like he was spooked after people started pointing out he edited all of the posts in where he said negative things about Lucas.

That hype really isn't worth shit compared to people being able to easily/readily see it without having to hop from busted link to busted link.
It's going to leak. Guaranteed. Just get out ahead of it. You'll reach more people and engender more goodwill that way.

I agree. I mean, it's naive to think in 2014 this won't be broadcasted all over the internet within minutes from some crappy cell phone video.
And it's not like we won't watch it, crappy quality or not. Give us the best version available.
That was a tongue-in-cheek comment (the wink smiley). Nobody expects Gary Whitta address Star Wars rumors on here, but I certainly would be happy to see him around GAF in any capacity sometime in the future.
