Star Wars VII teaser debuts this weekend

The Force is apparently going to be strong in selected theaters this Thanksgiving weekend.
Following rumors about Disney’s plan for the first trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the website for the Regal Entertainment Group theater chain not only revealed that the trailer will debut “at select North America theaters” this Friday, but also listed the locations where the trailer will play.

'Star Wars: The Force Awakens': Here's Where to See the First Teaser
The site reports that the trailer for J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars movie will appear before all movies playing in the following nine theaters from Nov. 28 - 30. Whether or not the trailer will also play at theaters owned by other chains or be released online simultaneously has not yet been revealed. Disney and Lucasfilm have released no information about the trailer to date.

The list of theaters due to play the trailer, as revealed by Regal:

• Irvine, CA: Edwards Irvine Spectrum 22 & IMAX
• San Diego, CA: Edwards Mira Mesa Stadium 18 IMAX & RPX
• Atlanta, GA: Regal Atlantic Station Stadium 18 IMAX & RPX
• Chicago, IL: Regal City North Stadium 14 IMAX & RPX
• New York, NY: Regal Union Square Stadium 14
• Warrington, PA: Regal Warrington Crossing Stadium 22 & IMAX
• Knoxville, TN: Regal Pinnacle Stadium 18 IMAX & RPX
• Houston, TX: Edwards Houston Marq'E Stadium 23 IMAX & RPX
• Seattle, WA: Regal Thornton Place Stadium 14 & IMAX

However, shortly after the news broke Regal Entertainment updated its to remove any mention of the locations and dates, instead replacing the information with a image of Star Wars character Mon Mothma with a caption reading "Many Bothans died to bring us this information," along with additional text inviting readers to "Check back soon for a list of participating Regal Cinemas locations!!!"

If I'm to be honest, I wasn't really going to watch this movie. The reason being is because Darth Vader died in Return of the Jedi, and he was my favourite character. Only Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford could make me recant my stance. I'm excited because THEY'RE in it.

Outside of the original trilogy, I'm NOT that emotionally involved w/ the Star Wars franchise (although I must say I LOVE the comic book tie-in, "Tag & Bink were here" it's so cute lol! ). My fav characters are C3-PO, Luke & Leia & since they (along w/ Solo) will be appearing in VII, I'll want to see what's up w/ them. If not for them, I'd pass on this too.

The teasers officially been released. Kinda wish there was more to it lol.

I'm not a crazed, die hard Star Wars fan...I grew up being obsessed with Star Trek, but i'm pretty excited to see these movies. I appreciate the franchise so i'm interested in seeing how J.J Abrams approaches it. The last two reboots of Star Trek that he did were great in my opinion.
