    All this discussion for a little extra weeks of wait? Look, i can understand impatience in some form, but we all know at the very least when this movie is released, atleast it'll be before that, just 3 months. The time onwards from when i first registered here has already flown by way too fast.

    As for lack of exposure to the general audience, really? Star Wars doesn't need any introduction these days. If you are in some way unaware of this movie, you honestly have been living under a rock. If the trailer releases, you will be informed, you'll see it everywhere, even where you don't want/expect to see it.

    It's larger than a movie, it's a cultural phenomenon, it has been for some time.

    Rather than wade in and repeat the same stuff ad nauseum, I'll ask you this:

    Doesn't the fact that a lot of you are clamouring for a trailer kind of prove that LFL/Disney's plan is working? To build up an insatiable appetite?

    No, that's not really what you are talking about. You talk about a trailer not being around right now, again and again, ignoring the very facts I just stated about how the whole marketing is set up.
    Complaing about no trailer being out right now makes no sense, as it would directly contradict any marketing-strategy that is used. You might have wanted to see another trailer earlier on, but again, that has absolutely nothing to do with the current situation. You are complaining about a lack of trailer in August or September, when it is blindingly obvious why that is the case. Once there wasn't a trailer in early summer, and with the knowledge of the final trailer almost always coming out two months prior to release, you should have realised that there would be no trailer in August or September. And that is what makes this whining to confusing, there just isn't any reason or logic behind it. There is a huge difference between "oh my god, oh my god, why is there no trailer right now??? everybody panic!!!1one!!1!" and "I would have loved to have two full trailers, but I guess they opted for a different approach".

    And who exactly said that there needed to be more trailers than the three TFA will have anyway?
    The first teaser came out earlier than usual, thus stretching things out a bit. There is little difference between having two teasers and one full trailer and having one teaser plus two full trailers. Just like there is absolutely nothing wrong with their approach. They already created interest through two wildly successful teasers, plus the odd event here and there. Now all they need is the final marketing-approach, starting at the point it always starts at. Seeing how you can barely contain yourself over a "lack of trailer", their approach seems to work just fine. Create interest through a lack of news. The average moviegoer isn't affected by anything like this, they either have seen the teasers or they will get hit by the huge marketing-campaign that will hit at the proper time. With proper time meaning 'shortly enough prior to release so that it stays in the people's mind', not: 'quite a few months earlier with a whole lot of other big movies opening in between'.

    glad that I don't really care for Trailer #3 give me some official info and story details and that's good enough for me (but that stuff most likely won't come out until it's at least near the Trailer release and post trailer) the movie is so close to release would rather see the least footage possible.I'm also glad we only got 3 Trailers with the first one barely showing anything, the more trailers the more footage shown which would kinda be a bit too much too many movies seem to show too much in trailers.

    I'm still convinced it's coming with Bridge of Spies. If not, there's Rebels to hold us over.

    It's not as if we weren't going to see the movie anyway. This is a minuscule forum with a few thousand extreme fans. What matters is the radio silence's effect on the general populace. I gather you didn't read my earlier post.

    I did. My point is what does it matter? You all are gagging for it (I am too but not feeling that we are entitled to it) so it's working with the fans. As for the general populace I will be astounded if most cinema goers will not be aware of TFA come December, which is when it really matters.

    If you ask the non fans of any franchise I bet you most don't even know when the new Hunger Games is coming out. But they will in the next few weeks.

    But again, even if they won't be aware, what does it matter? Like you say yourself, you're going to see it anyway.

    Just think on the brightside, if we don't get the trailer this month, then we can descend on Lucasfilm to take it ourselves. I kinda imagine it would look like this

    I actually had that happen recently. The trailer for Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation was played before Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation at the theater I went to. I don't know why.

    Can we just get this thing locked? All the endless complaining and bickering over having to wait a few weeks (!!) for a bloody trailer is gotten absolutley ridicolous. This thread has gotten 10 pages in the last 24 hrs! For someone who comes around here once a day to see if there is any news, and sees 10 new pages in the trailer thread, it would lead one to believe there was some news or something.

    Nope, just the usual whining on about not getting a trailer in the timeframe they find acceptable.

    Grow up people. It's a compilation of random shots from a movie we are seeing in less then 3 months. It will be released somewhere in the next 2-4 weeks. No amount of whinging about will change that.

    I say we lock it till we get some substancial news about the trailer (a trusted source posts a description, Lucasfilm announces when it will be posted, or the trailer itself is posted).

    I don't know about locking it, but I am walking away from this one for now. No point in further degrading the signal-to-noise ratio. When something is announced or released, it will be hard to not know about it.

    I apologize for letting myself get dragged into all the pot stirring.
