New STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS Images; No New Footage At D23
Lucasfilm has officially released a couple of stills from the latest Star Wars: The Force Awakens TV spot in ultra hi-res. We also have an update on the movie's presence at Disney's D23 fan convention this weekend, and those expecting a new trailer will be disappointed...
Unfortunately fans won't be getting a new Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer - or any new footage at all for that matter - at this weekend's D23 convention. Entertainment Weekly got the bad news straight from J.J. Abrams himself. “It is true, we are showing no footage, behind the scenes or otherwise,” the director revealed. “In the fall, there’ll be a trailer. We’re thrilled to go to D23 and meet the fans, but it’s a tricky thing to try and rush [footage] for a convention or preexisting event that would, of course, be fun to show something at.”
Disappointing for sure, but if it's any consolation we do have these stills from the movie courtesy of Stitch Kingdom. One features some First Order Stormtroopers being blasted to smithereens, and the other is a hi-res look at that new opening shot from the recent international TV spot.
