STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS Trailer Won't Debut With THE HOBBIT?

Rumors and speculation have been swirling for the past couple weeks that the first Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer would premiere with Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies but a source for Slash Film claims that isn't the case.

Yesterday, Star Wars 7 News reported that a theater owner had told them the trailer for J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: The Force Awakens would be attached to The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. And then a person on twitter, Reece Steel, said he spoke with the film's first assistant. Reece tweeted, "Had a talk from Thomas Gormley today, when asked about the teaser trailer for Star Wars VII he said, “You might wanna go see The Hobbit.” Not only was that tweet quickly deleted but so was the entire twitter account, which was created in 2012 and had over 4,000 tweets.

Today, a source for Slash Film has provided them with an interesting update.

Well, we’ve heard from a very credible source that, with 100% certainty, the Star Wars 7 trailer won’t debut with Peter Jackson’s latest The Hobbit film. There’s a very strong likelihood it will play with that film but according to the source, Disney has “bigger plans” for the trailer debut than a simple attachment.


No further details were given. What could these "bigger plans" be? Will Disney premiere the trailer with Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or their new animated series Star Wars Rebels? Where do you think the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer will premiere?


Star Wars: Episode VII - Actors John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson, Max von Sydow, Lupita Nyong'o and Gwendoline Christie will join the original stars of the saga, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker in the new film. It's being directed by J.J. Abrams from a screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan and Abrams. Kathleen Kennedy, J.J. Abrams, and Bryan Burk are producing, and John Williams returns as the composer. The movie opens worldwide on December 18, 2015.

Dang it, I was really hoping it'd be there.
Oh well, it'll be released soon enough and I can't wait to see it.

I'm not a Star Wars fan but this movie is going to dominate the box office next year and well into 2016.

Last time a big trailer was announce to debut with Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L., it got leaked and had to force Marvel/Disney to release it early..

Do it.

Lol I know he wasn't being relevant but calm down. Lots of Marvel/DC fans don't care about Star Wars and they spam their news on SW articles, it's nothing new, so chill.

There's a consortium that placed restrictions on film trailers. 2 minutes in length and NOT allowed to play in a theater more than 5 months before the film's release.

You should thank him Gus. Nail only clarified his comment when it dawned on him you might have been serious about going to Betty Ford. If that's not a friend... I don't know what is.

It was likely never going to 'debut' with a film. Trailers never 'debut' with films any more, they debut online beforehand.
