Star Wars: The Last Jedi Trailer to Release During NFL Game

It's almost here! Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer will release during the Oct 9 football game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Chicago Bears.

Originally, the date was hinted at by Mark Hamill, the actor that portrays Luke Skywalker. Soon after, however, the tweet was deleted. This was not before it began to trend, with many fans wondering if Hamill had be reprimanded by LucasFilm or trying to figure out if this yet another one of the actor's many jokes.

Playing it off as a misunderstood joke, Hamill denied the claim until now. It has been confirmed that the trailer will air in two weeks during the NFL game. This is not a unique occurrence, as The Force Awakens second trailer had premiered during Monday Night Football and since Disney owns both ESPN and LucasFilm.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi premieres in American theaters on December 15.

J.J Confirms Star Wars Trailers Are Done But Commercials Are In The Works

If you were hoping for a more revealing trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, you're out of luck. 

Today, J.J told the Star Wars fans that we're not only really waiting for one thing - The film.

He then went on to say: "There will be commercials to come, but no more trailers."

It's pretty interesting to see this as most of the other Star Wars films had more trailers, highest ranking would be Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. More or less a great marketing approach for this new installment. But in all other words to say, there you have it! Sit back, watch for those commercials to hit and get ready for the ride of a lifetime.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens hits theaters December 18, 2015.
