Is The Last Jedi's New Trailer Coming Next Week?

All signs point to yes.

By Lucy O'Brien

Start holding your breath, Star Wars fans - rumour has it that a new trailer for The Last Jedi is coming next week, and will coincide with advance tickets for the movie going on sale.

Let's start with fan site Starwarsnews.net, which has confirmed with 'long time source' that the new trailer will debut October 9 during Monday night football. This is in step with a Reddit post that appears to have confirmation from AMC theaters that ticket pre-sales will begin for The Last Jedi on the same date.

This rumour also coincides with a tweet from Star Wars star Mark Hamill, who said "watch Monday Night Football on Monday October 9th - for no reason in particular" on September 19th. Hamill since deleted the tweet, stating that it was a misunderstood Vikings vs Bears joke (sure Mark).

If the rumours are to be believed, it wouldn't be the first time a Star Wars trailer has gone live during a Disney-owned ESPN event; a Force Awakens trailer aired during Monday Night Football in 2015.
