An early 88-second tease of Star Wars: The Force Awakens can be seen in 30 theaters (20 with IMAX screens, 10 without) across North America beginning Friday morning, November 28th. Because of this I’m getting a ton of questions on Twitter – what movies is it playing in front of, when will it be online, what is in the trailer – so I thought I’d put together a Frequently Asked Questions document to answer your Force Awakens trailer questions.
How Long Is the Trailer?
It is 88 seconds long, according to JJ Abrams’ note. (Seen above.)
Will the Trailer Show New Footage or Is It Just a Teaser?
Technically, it is a teaser trailer as it runs less than 90 seconds in length, but it is expected to show the first footage from the movie, including the new characters and villain and feature new Star Wars music composed by John Williams. It’s a big deal and you’ll want to see it, not in a crappy pirated copy online but on the big screen.

Is the Trailer Playing Just on Friday?
No. The trailer will be playing at these theaters beginning Friday morning November 28th through end of day Sunday November, 30th 2014. (No midnight screenings Thursday).
What Happens After Sunday November 30th 2014? Will the Trailer No Longer Be in Theaters?
StarWars.com has confirmed that the trailer will “be seen in theaters around the world this December.” The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies is a near guarantee.
Which movies and showtimes will have the trailer attached?
The trailer will play in front of every showtime of every movie at these 30 theaters on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. AMC Theatres has confirmed this. This trailer debut is unprecedented.
Which Movie Should I See to Watch the Teaser Trailer?
Tickets in most cities are not yet on sale, but the early rumor is that theaters would have to agree to put Disney’s Big Hero 6 as their earliest showtime, so the early matinee screening of the Disney Animation film might be your earliest bet. But if that’s sold out, anything will work.
