If you thought you were going to miss out on seeing the new Star Wars teaser trailer this holiday weekend, worry not — everyone can get a look at it online courtesy of iTunes. A tweet from the official Star Wars account confirmed the news late on Wednesday night.

So what can we expect? We know the trailer is going to be 88 seconds long and we know it’s unlikely to show much actual footage — shooting on the film only wrapped up earlier this month. The teaser debuting on iTunes is the same one that’s going to be shown in 30 theaters across the U.S. from Friday.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is the seventh film in the series and is due for release on December 18, 2015. It reunites the main stars of the original trilogy, with Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher all reprising the iconic roles from George Lucas’ epic space opera. J.J. Abrams is the man in the director’s chair after also revitalizing the Star Trek movie franchise.

Aside from members of the cast, very few details have leaked about what’s in store for Star Wars fans with the new entry in the series. We know that C-3PO’s suit is easier to get in and out of, but almost everything else is speculation at this stage. We should find out more when the first trailer arrives tomorrow.

The trailer for the feature film I.S.S. has just dropped, and it’s surely no coincidence that it lands in the same week that the International Space Station marks 25 years of operations.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Star Wars fans don't get along. The fandom has been called toxic and divided, and many times, it's lived up to that stereotype.

But I, for one, count the diversity of the fanbase as a positive. It's what's led to the wide range of stories, genres, and media types over the years, each generating its own small base of fans. More broadly, these fanbases are created based on your generation and what part of the series you gravitated to first for whatever reason. I hope you'll be able to find yourself among at least one of these waves of Star Wars fans and start to see that there's enough room at the table for us all.

Imaginary trailer introduces a new scare bear
Chauncey, the stuffed bear killer from Imaginary.

If you ever had an imaginary friend growing up, there's a good chance that it didn't turn out to be some kind of supernatural force that would come back to haunt you later in life. But that's exactly what's happening in Blumhouse's upcoming horror flick, Imaginary. Unlike killer doll flicks from the past, Chauncey the stuffed bear looks about as non-threatening as it gets. And Chauncey doesn't appear to be as ambulatory as other murderous toys. Instead, Chauncey's sense of menace comes from what he can inspire his victims to do. Sometimes, Chauncey doesn't even have to lift a paw to make them hurt themselves.
