Star Wars 8: NEW POSTER coming tonight alongside full Last Jedi trailer?

It’s been suggested that new promotional artwork for the latest in the Star Wars franchise will be released alongside the latest trailer.

Film site Fandango had kickstarted conversation when they revealed an offer involving a “free #LastJedi poster”.

When a follower asked which poster they were referring to – i.e. perhaps the one that was revealed at Star Wars Celebration back in April – they gave an intriguing response.

“Check back tonight for the reveal! We aren’t able to share it quite yet,” they said.

This wouldn’t, of course, be unusual: Star Wars 7: The Force Awakens also had a new poster unveiled shortly ahead of the trailer’s release.

As for that all-important clip, it’s thought to be en route at halftime in the Vikings vs Bears match of the NFL this evening.

That means it should arrive at around 22:00 ET – or 03:00 in the UK.

The Star Wars 8 trailer has been a long time coming: it’s been six months since the very first teaser landed.

Tickets for the first screenings later this year will also go on sale simultaneously once the footage is out in the open.

Rian Johnson is due to give an interview on Twitter’s new show What’s Happening at around 01:00 (UK).

Star Wars 8: The Last Jedi is out on December 14 in the UK.
