Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
…Unless you’re a huge dinosaur fan, I guess. Still, it prompted this very interesting tweet from Gary Whitta:
I wonder if the Jurassic World trailer got moved up to get out of something else’s way…

Man, do I hope that’s the case. The Jurassic World trailer was supposed to premiere during a football game on Thanksgiving day.
Strange Magic trailer debuts. Lucasfilm’s animated fairy tale musical will be out January 23.
The Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer was supposed to come out next week… Or so we heard yesterday. It leaked this afternoon, so Marvel made a Hydra joke and released it for real. Well played.
(Now, hopefully this lesson means they don’t announce the Episode VII trailer drop date, when the time comes…)
The Star Wars Fan Film Awards have returned! Fan filmmakers can submit theirs through January 16, and they’ll go up on StarWars.com sometime in March for fans to vote on. The winners will be announced at Celebration Anaheim in April.
In the meantime, you can check out The Empire Strikes Back Uncut on StarWars.com now.
Finally, the first trailer for the next big genre film, out this November… And the second to last installment of The Hunger Games.
Debuted at SDCC, now online for all!
A new trailer for Rebels showed up in the middle of the night, because why not, I guess. This one contains some new footage in addition to what we’ve seen in the first few clips and trailers, plus a date of ‘October.’
They’re also having a preview screening at SDCC.
Finally, a trailer that includes some actual variety of footage from the new season, Peter Capaldi’s first as the 12th Doctor. The season begins August 23rd in the U.K. and U.S.
Since today has been refreshingly Star Wars news free thus far (which is fine, because yesterday was nuts) have this Mockingjay promo – err, address from President Snow. And friends.
And, since we’re on the subject, here’s the previous transmission:
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 will be in theaters January 16.
Speculation: When will we see a Episode VII trailer? /Film’s Peter Sciretta considers the rest of Disney’s slate.
