There are no specifications as to which films the teaser will play in front of, leading various other movie websites to the conclusion that the teaser will be playing with every showing of every movie that plays at these 30 theaters. There is also no official news of a cut-off date, meaning that the teaser could very well be playing at these 30 theaters beyond this weekend well into December. Who knows? Perhaps the teaser will get a more wider release to more theaters in the weeks to come…
To those of you who live near these theaters, or are willing to go the distance to see this thing, well, may the force be with you! As for the people less fortunate, let’s hope an HD release of the teaser makes its way online sooner than later (we all know a bootleg will stick its ugly little head in front of us who peruse the web constantly for news on The Force Awakens).
Update: According to the official Star Wars twitter account, we can expect this first trailer to be available online Black Friday, November 28th, via iTunes! Head on over to Star Wars Underworld for details!
