There has been a marketing awakening. Can you feel it?

We’re less than a month away from the premiere of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and the full-on onslaught of trailers, clips, TV spots, posters, motion postures, GIFs, images, and assorted other marketing materials have begun. First, here’s a new TV spot for the film, which has a few extremely brief glimpses of new scenes that haven’t appeared in any of the previous trailers:

And finally, just for good measure, here’s a new featurette about 40 years of Star Wars, and the enormous impact the franchise has had on the pop culture landscape. I don’t know if you are aware of this, but people seem to enjoy when the stars are at war. They do not want star peace, ever:

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker opens in theaters on December 20.
