Fans have been waiting for the Monday Night Football to finally see the new “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” trailer. In fact, Lucasfilm has now released a couple of sneak peeks that made viewers more excited.

The first one was released on “Good Morning America” Twitter page while the other one was on “Star Wars” official Twitter account. The first 15-seconder teaser was also revealed on NFL’s Sunday pregame shows on ESPN.

Two quick glimpses to the new trailer

The first glimpse to “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” teaser only has three brief scenes while the second only one features Rey (Daisy Ridley).

The first one is the opening shot of the original trailer revealed in April. Rey’s hand is rising from the ground while the rocks around it are slowly floating. Does this mean that she can now control things?

The second sequence revealed Kylo Ren’s (Adam Driver) glove-covered hand getting his lightsaber from a shiny floor. The last one is the continuation of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” ending. Luke Skywalker’s (Mark Hamill) robotic hand can be seen accepting his lightsaber from Rey. He, too, can be heard saying, “Breathe, just breathe” in the background the whole while.

Does it pertain to his training with Rey?

It might be answered by the second 11-seconder teaser that showed Rey training with a lightsaber on Ahch-To. From afar, someone is watching her while she’s swerving her weapon from left and right.

And that could the Jedi master himself, Luke.

The start of the movie’s ticket sales

After the release of “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” new trailer during the Monday Night Football, it will be quickly followed by the opening of the first showing tickets.

The opening sale is strategically set during the game, so fans could buy the movie’s tickets right away for the film’s coming December 15 release.

In fact, Deadline reported that it was part of the plan. This was even the same method Disney did with “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” in 2015. However, the previous movie went on sale on October 19 last year.

It was even similar to what it did with “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.” The company waited for the spin-off movie to build the hype and put the tickets on sale three weeks before the film’s release date. They started selling on Cyber Monday, taking advantage of the Holiday season.

The Monday Night Football will start with Minnesota Vikings and the Chicago Bears in Chicago at 5:15 p.m. PDT or 8:15 p.m. EDT on ESPN. “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” is set to the hit the theaters on December 15 in the U.S.
