Well, we didn’t get a date for Rogue One ticket sales, but this week’s Star Wars Show does reveal an Imax standee for the film. There’s also a look at Ashley Eckstein’s Lego Ahsoka dress and an interview with Ahsoka author E.K. Johnston.
The Force Awakens: After the trailer roundup
If you want some analysis on the trailer as a marketing move, Devin Faraci at Birth Movies Death has it down: “What we’re seeing is a major blockbuster hitting the standard checkpoints of movie marketing with great reluctance.”
→ Meredith Woerner at the L.A. Times has pieced together stuff from the trailers with convention-season cast interviews and is, if nothing else, a good refresher for those who aren’t spending 99% of their time in “the bubble.”
→ In China, the trailer debuted on the Great Wall, because why not.
→ All The Force Awakens trailer numbers you may need.
→ AMC will be giving out a cool poster to folks who go see the film in IMAX 3D.
→ Relevant! There’s a new interview with Pablo Hidalgo (plus Dave Filoni, Shelly Shapiro, Chuck Wendig and Kieron Gillen) about Lucasfilm’s Story Group.
→ Spoilers! Someone let slip some interesting info on Pip Anderson’s character to the Making Star Wars folks last night.
→ There’s a music-only version of the trailer. On that note, Ali Arikan at Slate writes about the brand-new John Williams score.
The Force Awakens will have IMAX to itself in December
The Force Awakens is booked on almost all Imax screens (375 out of 400) in the U.S., and internationally (400+,) for the film’s December 18 release, The Hollywood Reporter says. They’ll have it for at least 4 weeks, so plan your IMAX viewing of the film for that window.
Rogue One will be released in IMAX
Rogue One will be released in IMAX. Just like The Force Awakens! Shocking.
