    They been really secretive about the fan event. We are getting trading cards, pop corn and a drink along with a "special content" after the TLJ. There been no information what that "special content" is. I'll find out later today when I see the movie and i'll report back on what it is.

    I was wrong (and same with the rumors). There was nothing dealing with Han Solo. It was just a behind the scene reel of John William's composing Episode 8. Something that would be an extra on a DVD.

    I'm surprised that they didn't attach a Solo trailer to The Last Jedi. I hope the film is good, but it does make one wonder if even Ron Howard was able to rescue it.

    That's too bad. Hopefully Disney will release it soon.

    At this point it looks per-destined. If they had anything good to say, they would have attached it to TLJ to create more hype. Expect that push back news around the start of the new year.

    I'm not too surprised. There may be some apprehension to attaching a SW trailer to a SW movie. There's always the fear of seeming too overloaded.

    I think if we don't get a trailer by mid February we're in for a delay.

    However, I've heard rumors that promotional season for Solo starts in the next three weeks- we'll see if that's true.

    We could see something very soon. The fact that we've not seen anything in the context of a teaser or trailer yet does have me a bit worried, but I think the time for them to strike is coming up shortly, either within the next week or two or at the Super Bowl.

    Whilst showing stuff at the Super Bowl might not have been considered necessary for The Force Awakens, Rogue One, or The Last Jedi, I think that it's the best chance that Disney have of consolidating the film in the casual audience's minds. Their recent acquisition of FOX shows that they're certainly not afraid of flexing their financial muscle, and I think that this is the event for them to either kick off the promotional campaign or, alternatively, consolidate it.

    Right now, my thoughts for the promotional campaign are:
    • February 4th: first trailer shown during Super Bowl LI; attached to Black Panther (Feb. 9th overseas, Feb. 16th domestic).
    • April 1st - April 15th: second trailer released; attached to Infinity War (Apr. 27th overseas, May 4th domestic).
    Not only would the second trailer likely then have a spot ahead of Infinity War, it would also line up with previous marketing campaigns: TFA's second teaser trailer was released on Apr. 16th (Thursday) at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim; RO's first teaser trailer was released Apr. 7th (Thursday); TLJ's first teaser trailer was released Apr. 14th (Friday) at Star Wars Celebration Orlando. My educated guess would be that such a trailer would release on the 6th (Thursday) or 7th (Friday), specifically, as, like Rogue One, there will be no Celebration this upcoming April. My reasoning for this second trailer is, of course, to begin the saturation of the film's marketing before an onslaught of TV spots come our way later in the month or early in May.

    "There is no trailer...the SW fans have been informed that the Han Solo film was destroyed in an advertising disaster."
    "I expect LFL not to rest until they can assure us that Richie Cunningham has not compromised this movie in any way."

    It is interesting that we haven't seen something yet but we're only a few days into the new year. My prediction for the last few weeks has been that if we didn't get a trailer with TLJ then the next likely place would be the National College football championship game since it's a major sports event that's on ESPN. It looks like that's not going to happen since we're getting some kind of extended look at Black Panther instead. There's an NFL wild card game on Saturday that could be a possibility but they would probably have started pumping that placement by now.

    The Super Bowl just doesn't seem likely due to the length of time that they would need to buy for the trailer and the fact that it's on NBC this year. They've shown in the past that they like to drop trailers during major sports events on one of their networks, namely ESPN. It could still happen during the Super Bowl but it would be a first.

    In any event, we should see something by the time that Black Panther opens on February 16. I can't imagine them waiting beyond that to start promotion for the film unless they're just planning on a blitzkrieg of advertising in the 3 months before it releases.

    I'm going to jump on board with @BornIn77's post and say it comes out during the College Football Championship Game... mostly because I really want to see it sooner than later. 5 days until a Solo trailer? Yes please!

    BTW- I see that @BornIn77 just posted as I was typing this saying that it doesn't look like that is going to happen, but I don't care... I'm an optimist to a fault!

    Meh, it's really weird timing, for sure. I think that Disney is being pretty wise about this right now, though.

    Much of the negative buzz around TLJ is starting to slow down, thanks to people finally seeing the film and forming their own opinions. By waiting, Star Wars is able to ingratiate itself to people again and it's able to somewhat diminish the "oversaturation" claims that would've come with having a new film and a trailer for another new film out at the same time.

    And I fully expect whining about oversaturation at some point, to be sure- I just think that, by waiting, they're able to diminish it a bit.

    I am actually sort of glad that nothing has dropped yet. No trailers, official images, all that. We've never had that as a fandom and I hope the marketing blitz doesn't feel like a 'blitz' this time around.

    I'd love to one day go into a SW movie completely not knowing anything, but I'm in the bag for this stuff so I'll feed off of it for sure.

    If that happens, it would be up against the Aquaman movie, I think.

    Honestly, I agree with you. It seems unlikely, but the only reason that I suggested it, honestly, is because I think that they are going to be going with that short but hard impact with their marketing campaign for this film.

    I’m not from the States, so I was only semi-aware of the upcoming college football stuff, which by all means is a possibility.

    As for the cost of a trailer during the Super Bowl, I agree, and I actually think they could do something smarter here, by dropping their 10 to 30 second teaser-for-the-trailer that they typically drop on USA Today or GMA during the Super Bowl commercials, announcing that the trailer drops the following evening.

    That way, they’ve got everybody’s attention in the same way that a trailer would have, spent less money than showing the full trailer, and would completely overshadow pretty much everything else offered by competitors during the Super Bowl.
    Worse yet, it’d be up against Mary Poppins Returns, which releases on Christmas Day in the US. Because of the potential cannibalism that would incite between their own two properties, I’m fairly confident that the film won’t be pushed back to the typical December slot we’ve seen for the last few years.

    So do .
    If they were going to move it they would have announced it by now after all the delay for TLJ was made well after n advance

    By bet would be we are just getting one full trailer in late Jan early Feb & then a shed load of TV Spots starting in early April.

    Why do I get the feeling that, anytime now, we'll get some sort of press release statement from Disney saying that Solo has been pushed back for a December 2018 release date.
