As summer drags along with its big, mostly poorly-reviewed tentpole pictures, fans can at least hope for new trailers of their favorite franchise movies set for release during the holidays. Chief among these if you ask, well, everyone, is Episode VIII of the Star Wars saga, The Last Jedi. To that, Disney says, "too bad" (I'm paraphrasing).
Lucasfilm has confirmed that while they will be present at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, their presence will be limited to the convention floor and there will be no special Star Wars events. This means no new trailer. This is despite the fact that San Diego Comic-Con has long been a premier destination to gin up some buzz by dropping some new footage on convention goers. Wonder Woman had a stellar Comic-Con trailer last year, accompanied by a Justice League trailer that caused more hype than a new energy drink at an eSports event.
