    I just can't see a trailer/teaser happening. There's something about the wording that's setting off alarms.

    "A Special Look at the Force Awakens". What more of a hint do you want?

    That's just it, why are they being so vague about what they are showing. A special look could be anything. I'm expecting a short scene for attendees more than a new teaser.

    So apparently, I'm hearing word that Lupita Nyong'o is going to be in Kenya while SDCC is going on! If that's the case, I'm guessing that Andy Serkis or Domhnall Gleeson would fill in instead. I'm still not sure if Harrison Ford would be up to it - as far as I've seen, he's the type who appreciates privacy.
    A short scene sounds a lot more like it'd be something they'd show at D23 than SDCC. Whatever they're going to present, it will go public right after they reveal it at the panel - and trailers get more media exposure than individual scenes.

    They have hall H. The biggest room. They are going all out. Plus, they're not gonna come out and tell you that they're having a trailer there

    If they don't release the new trailer just about the same time online as in studio H, people are gonna be putting it on youtube and we will see crappy versions of the trailer for the first time and we won't enjoy it. I think they will try to avoid that and put it online the same time. As for the discussions, if not later that night, the next day it will be online. But you never know, sine this is SW, we might get surprised and see it live streamed. I'm really doubtful of it, but we are 2 weeks out and anything can happen

    Nah, don't reveal too much.

    I'm ready for a pull trailer. The movie is less than 6 months away. They still have 3 full trailers to drop.

    No way they're doing 3 more trailers dude. You're smoking Crack if you think that.

    Also video is strictly prohibited in hall H. So assuming whatever they show at comic con will be released online shortly after is by no means a given.

    They said special look for celebration as well it's a trailer. Ideally we get one here that is later attached to Ant Man and then a second full trailer at D23. I don't think they will release a third one after that, but if we're lucky we can get bonus footage in TV spots but they will most likely be TV rehashes

    Disney isn't going to wait to D23 to unveil a full trailer for The Force Awakens. If anything, I think that D23 is where they'll show a very early teaser for Captain America: Civil War (which would hit the internet shortly thereafter); and beyond that that they'll just show a few of complete scenes from The Force Awakens that will be released online later into the promotional period of the movie (or not until the actual movie comes out).
    I know you weren't talking to me, but since I agree with him, I'm going to have to back him up. (I assure you, I am quite sober.)

    Firstly, the movie is six months away. Standard operation for trailer content is that each movie gets three. Of course, this is not a standard operation - this is the most anticipated film of the year. Avengers: Age Of Ultron, the other most anticipated film of the year, received four trailers and a boatload of television spots, alongside other promotions. Disney has built enough momentum with this puppy - which, for frame of reference, had two teasers released way earlier than any footage for Avengers: Age Of Ultron was released - that they have to obligate themselves to releasing three trailers over six months at the very least.

    Secondly, the next trailer will most likely be attached to Ant-Man, Disney's next major production and one that could use the publicity boost that a Star Wars movie would provide. The San Diego Comic Con, which takes place a week before the release of the movie, would be an ideal time to reveal the trailer before attaching it. It's not like the 2014 Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice teaser that wasn't officially released to the public - that movie was nearly a year and a half away, and the clip was just made to whet fan appetite as a sizzle reel. This movie, however, is going to be ready in under six months. (If it were a Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One panel, then yeah, I'd agree with you in thinking they'd want to keep any footage reveal private. But it ain't about Rogue One.)

    Keep in mind that the marketing time is just right for a trailer for Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, and that there's going to be a ton of media coverage over this panel - including several people who'd be willing to pirate a trailer if Disney doesn't officially release it, which I can assure you is an absolute mess to try and cover up. I would say that the stars are right for a new trailer, and they have no reason not to keep it hidden from the public.

    Can I post a wishlist of what I'd love to see in trailer? Would love to read others...

    Top 3, real quick...

    3. Maz, I'd like to see what she looks like, MoCap + Star Wars the first iconic shot.
    2. A line from Leia, as iconic as the one from Han in the last trailer.
    1. Something that seems dispute the published spoilers to date, just for fun.

    I've been texting (again) the past day or so with my ex coworker who is a VFX artist. He has shared some info on some of the promos that are scheduled for his team. In his words...

    " SDCC is going to have a few really cool things and will be pretty special. D23 will have more that we expect will break the twitters. September everything awakens. November-December the world will be brought to it's knees."

    He also said that there won't be a full trailer for SDCC, but would not clarify if there would be another teaser.

    Some people seem to forget that this movie wasn't made just for star wars fans. 3 to 4 full trailers is the norm for a big blockbuster movie like TFA. Within the next 2 month we'll start seeing tv spots, actors on every morning and late night talk shows and BTS clips. Because that is how they get the average moviegoer to the theaters. They are going to put out a media blitz just as big if not bigger than the avengers. Disney won't try to pull off keeping the movie plot too hidden, just look what happened to tomorrowland, disney don't release the first full trailer till 2 months before the movie opened and the tv spots never showed much about the movie and it bombed because people just never get interested in it. Face it most average moviegoers want to know 50 to 60% of the plot before deciding if they want to see a movie.

    Things just seem way to quiet for anything major. I think it's best to keep expectations very low.

    It hasn't started yet.
    I think at this point, the teasers have been trailer-length. So I use the term interchangeably. In any case, I feel like it's safe to expect footage that is trailer-like in terms of presentation for the panel - and later, the interwebs and theaters.
