'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Trailer May Debut This Week; Is This the First Look?



The Thanksgiving week is generally a quiet one for news, but we may be on the verge of something huge. Over the last few days there was been a constant buzz about the trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. What might it contain? When will we see it? Well there are some new rumors about both of those things, but let's start with what we may be seeing in it.

The folks over at fansite Making Star Wars posted the below GIF that they say could be a shot from the upcoming teaser. Why is this significant? Well, it dovetails nicely with recent comments made by Badass Digest that the trailer would end with the Millennium Falcon headed straight for us. It looks a little cheap and unfinished, certainly not the kind of thing we'd expect from J.J. Abrams (not enough lens flares!!), so maybe this is just an easily-constructed fake.


Whether this is real or not there's still the matter of when the trailer may debut. While earlier stories suggested it could be in front of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, that's not going to be the case. Slashfilm's sources are saying we will see it during the Thanksgiving week in a limited number of theaters. A Reddit story goes even further, saying it will be a 90-second preview at only 100 theaters in front of every single showtime.

So what will it be? Maybe just go to the movies all day every day and cross our fingers? Anything not to miss the first Star Wars: The Force Awakens footage.
