As you can see above, the folks over at StarWars.com have published the full list of theaters that will be screening the first ever Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer. It’s been confirmed that it will be a very short clip, clocking in at just 88-seconds long, but it will be playing in front of all screenings in the specific cinema locations starting on Friday morning, November 28th. It will, however, be expanding to a nationwide release in December - though a specific date isn't mentioned on the site.

Doing his part to tease the event, J.J. Abrams posted a special note titled "Thanksgiving" on the official Bad Robot Twitter page, which you can see below:

Where will you be on Friday morning? Black Friday shopping, or checking out the first ever trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens?
