The awesome full-length trailer for the next Star Wars movie, The Force Awakens, came out today – as did the ability to buy tickets for the movie! Â After Larry & I watched the trailer about 6 times, I then tried to go buy tickets online. Â As was the rest of the world. Â Fandango, Movietickets.com, and IMAX were all pretty much dead. Â I started reading comments on Deadline Hollywood’s article about the crashing websites and one mentioned that the Flixster app was working just fine….and sure enough, Larry had the app up and was able to buy tickets after just one attempt that went awry as I bet the tickets we were trying to get had been purchased. Â But now we have tickets for Saturday at noon at the Universal City AMC IMAX. Â SWEEET.
And oh yeah, here’s the amazing trailer:
So where’s Luke, besides what is assumed to be him who is touching Artoo? Â And is that Leia speaking at the beginning and end? Â I’m dying at all these possible story elements. Â What’s great is that you can’t really tell what’s happening, and I love it. Â And the view of hyperspeed we see in the trailer??? I NEARLY DIED.
And for reference, the previous teasers, both of which are awesome:
