Well That Sucks: No New Trailer or Clips During STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS Comic-Con Panel



The Force is telling me Lucasfilm might be holding onto some surprises for Disney's D23 Expo in August when they may reveal new clips for STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS. My Force sense is also backed by the fact Entertainment Weekly has now confirmed there will be no new trailer or clips for the next Star Wars movie at San Diego Comic-Con 2015. (Well there goes my most anticipated thing to see in my column yesterday.)

EW reports:

"First of all, the presentation this Friday afternoon will not include a trailer or any new clips of the movie. The next trailer will be coming in the fall, according to sources with knowledge of the project."

The news outlet says no new trailer until this fall but doesn't specify about any clips being shown before that and at D23. EW also says several actors will appear at Lucasfilm's big Friday panel but no names were provided.

"Roughly six months before the Dec. 18 release, the Comic-Con panel will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the highly secretive film, which was completely locked down to press during production. (It’s still locked down. Lucasfilm and parent company Disney declined requests for comment.) 
"Director J.J. Abrams, screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan, and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy are already confirmed as part of the panel, which will be moderated by Nerdist impresario and Talking Dead host Chris Hardwick. 
"Although EW hasn’t learned just which of the cast members will be joining them, our spies say there will be several actors who haven’t yet spoken publicly about their roles venturing onstage in Hall H."

No new footage... that just sucks... at least there's still a chance to see a possible clip or two at D23. 

Maybe.
