The first trailer for Star Wars Episode VII, formally known as Star Wars: The Force Awakens, is just weeks away, according to a new report.

Sources told Badass Digest that the trailer is debuting soon, within the next four to five weeks.

There are questions about where the trailer will first be shown--some rumors indicate that it will be attached to The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1, while others say it will air first on ABC.

The sources didn’t shed light on those questions.

But they did provide a description of the trailer, which will be about one-minute long.

“It’s going to have The Force Theme played on woodwinds, softly, over flashing images of the main leads, each fading to black. There’s no dialogue, just reveals of the characters. And then the music swells up into a full orchestral piece - perhaps what John Williams recorded this weekend? - and we hear a female voice, likely Daisy Ridley’s, saying ‘Wake up,’” the report said.

“And then the title card appears - Star Wars: The Force Awakens - and we see the Millennium Falcon, firing blasters, coming right at the camera.”

This news followed several sources saying that the trailer should be coming this year.

If the trailer is attached to a film, other choices include the two big Disney films–Big Hero 6, a family-friendly film that’s coming out in November, and Into The Woods, a fairy tale musical slated for a Christmas Day release--as well as The Hobbit 3 and Night at the Museum.

The Hobbit may be out of the question, though, because the Jurassic World trailer is reportedly going to debut with that film.
