Star Wars 9 MAIN TRAILER date revealed? It's just DAYS away – huge clue

After 42 years, eight main films, two Anthology spin-offs and countless TV shows, books and comics, the end is almost here. The arrival of Episode IX is just a few months away. Fans have a major treat in store before that as the long-awaited trailer is finally almost here. Star Wars is a franchise of habit and patterns, so educated guesses had already been made, but a new tweet just ignited fan excitement.

Whether it is superstition, crafty marketing analysis or mysterious Jedi powers, the Lucasfilm bosses have stuck to a rigid formula.

The Force Awakens main trailer made its debut on October 19th, 2015. Two years later, The Last Jedi trailer arrived on October 9th, 2017. So fans had a pretty good idea the Rise of Skywalker long promo would land around the middle of this month.

An extremely playful tweet this week from the official Star Wars account responded to a comment about new character Babu Frik when a fan site suggested their pug dog would look great in the costume.

The reply appeared to contain a date in it. Scroll down to if you can figure it out.

The Star Wars account tweeted: “14/10, this pup would make a great droidsmith!”

For US fans this might not have immediate significance since they write their dates in reverse. However, everyone else in the world knows this means October 14.

Fans commenst flooded in and they all said the same thing: “14/10 may be a clue to the next trailer?”

One fan played it cool with: “The trailer is the 14th you say.”  Another had no time for subtlety: “OMG YOU ARE SO GOING TO RELEASE THE TRAILER ON THE 14th.”

That particular day is perfect for two reasons.

The comments went on; “Ok, trailer coming out on the 14th, what time exactly? I need to arrange my whole life in order to prepare myself for that precise moment.”

Well, both p[revious trailer releases happened on a Monday, like October 14 this year.

Disney also likes to drop major trailers during football game sand that day the Detroit Lions take on the Green Bay Packers.

So, it looks like an evening time for US fans while UK fans will have to stay up into the early hours to get the first look at the main trailer for Star Wars 9.
