So who bought a ticket to a movie screening this Friday just to catch the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer?  Well, it turns out that the 88-second piece won’t be exclusive to theaters.  The teaser will also arrive on iTunes on Friday as well.  But on the bright side, if you did already buy a ticket then you’ll be one of the first to see it on the big screen!

Hit the jump for more on the forthcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer.  The full feature is due in theaters on December 18, 2015 and stars John BoyegaDaisy RidleyHarrison FordAdam DriverMark HamillCarrie FisherLupita Nyong’o, Oscar IsaacDomhnall GleesonAndy SerkisGwendoline Christie and many more.

The idea of the trailer hitting theaters before arriving online did seem like a fun, different strategy, but sadly there’s a good chance the whole operation would have blown up in Disney’s face when the piece popped up on YouTube shortly after the first screening.  Regardless, there’s something a bit suspect about this official announcement coming from the Star Wars Twitter account after previous reports likely already compelled many to purchase Big Hero 6 tickets.
