Star Wars: The Force Awakens comes out in 26 days, and you're just now seeing the first clip of the film. Before this past weekend, all we've seen are the (many, many, many, many) special trailer edits of the movie. Some glorious Star Wars conspiracy theorists even thought the footage from the trailers wasn't real. Which is both crazy and genius. It's also completely wrong. In a beautiful moment of brand synergy, ABC aired the first clip of Disney's Star Wars: The Force Awakens during the American Music Awards on Sunday. You've already seen all this footage from all those damn trailers, but here it is, in sequential order with the correct audio. Yes, when you are sitting in the theater on December 18 (though probably not) you will really be watching the above 15 seconds of the film. And here it is, because J.J. Abrams just got around to finishing the movie this weekend.
Abrams officially finished the final mix of Force Awakens at 2am this morning. Movie is done folks!
