Star Wars News Net adds to the rumor that the trailer will debut during the half time of the Monday Night Football game between The New England Patriots and the New York Jets on ESPN. The rumor echoes a previous one from back in September that indicated a new trailer could drop during Monday Night Football. However, that rumor indicated the trailer would drop a week earlier during the game between the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers.
ABC 7 reporter George Pennacchio told his followers to “mark your calendar.” However, he notes that his source is Star Wars News Net.
Star Wars News!
Forget the picture of me—“The Rise of Skywalker” trailer is set to debut October 21 on “Monday Night Football.” That happens to be on the late Carrie Fisher’s birthday. Coincidence? 😊 #StarWars #TheRiseOfSkywalker

Newsweek has picked up the story but, like me, sources StarWarsNewsNet. I would mark your calendar. 🙂

Star Wars News Net also reports that tickets for the game will be available to purchase as soon as the game ends. They expect an official confirmation of the trailer on Sunday, October 20th with a possible new poster reveal.
If the trailer does drop on the 21st it would coincide with the late Carrie Fisher’s birthday.
