Star Wars 9 TRAILER release update: Teaser coming 'sooner rather than later'?

Some kind of teaser was alleged to be dropping before Christmas, but this ultimately came to nothing. It was also touted that we could have had the title for the blockbuster by now, but this too did not happen. But now that the film is less than a year away from release, these reveals don’t seem so wild – so could we be about to see some footage after all?

Ultimately it’s still hard to say, but a recent update from Making Star Wars indicates that a trailer has been edited together ready for release.

Whether the version that’s been cut is the final version or just an early draft is unclear, but it’s an encouraging sign that it’s en route.

Sources told the Star Wars-specific news site that “it has been seen by so few people at this point, details are scant”.

So essentially it seems highly unlikely that we’ll have a trailer in the immediate future – but it’s certainly possible that it could be on the horizon for the weeks or months ahead.

Indeed, going by the timeline of 2015’s The Last Jedi, the first teaser was not released until Star Wars Celebration in April.

Judging by the frequency of these Episode 9 footage rumours, it seems possible that JJ Abrams won’t be waiting so long this time around.

But again, nothing is confirmed by LucasFilm at this point and remains pure speculation.

Still, given that the Last Jedi title was announced at the start of the year back in 2017, can we look forward to learning Episode 9’s official moniker very soon?

Little is known about the plot of Episode 9 but over the festive period, the late Carrie Fisher’s brother Todd said he was very happy with the Leia scenes.

“There’s a lot of minutes of footage,” he told Good Morning America. “I don’t mean just outtakes. This is unused, new content that could be woven into the storyline.

“That’s what’s going to give everybody such a great kick. It’s going to look like it was meant to be. Like it was shot yesterday.

“We’re not allowed to talk about the details of anything, but we’re thrilled at what’s been done.”

Star Wars 9 is out in December.
