Now that it has been confirmed that no film footage or trailer of Star Wars: The Last Jedi will be shown in the Super Bowl, fans have only one question in mind: when and where would the first sighting of Skywalker and company take place? Rumor has it that the first trailer will be unveiled in the annual Star Wars Celebration in Orlando this April.
It does make sense that Lucasfilms would want to make the showing of the first trailer an event in itself -- and not an inclusion shown beside other blockbuster trailers in the Super Bowl.
The rumor comes from the fan site Star Wars News Net which claims its staff spoke with a source close to the production. The site report does ring with a certain authority and certainty, which means that fans might have to wait a little while longer before they can see any video clip from the anticipated film:
"With this in mind we contacted one of our sources who shared with us an interesting tidbit. According to him, right now they are hard at work on a new Behind the Scenes reel for The Last Jedi, which will be the first footage that we will see from the movie. This means that there will be no teaser trailer before Celebration. All rumors on the web with earlier dates are not accurate, as are the reports with teaser descriptions."
April is only two months' away but it can be an agonizing wait for those of us who want more details. And until then, rumors and theories about who the last Jedi really is will keep us occupied.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi will open on December 15, 2017.
