Where we Stand in the Star Wars Timeline…Right Now

It is currently Friday morning, the 13th of November.

We are four days away from the international launch of Star Wars Battlefront which is incredibly exciting not only because it’s a new Star Wars game (duh) but it will feature a lot of material from The Force Awakens.

In addition to the release of Battlefront, we are exactly five weeks away from Episode VII!

Since my last post, the excitement has seemingly ratcheted up to levels even I was unaware they could reach.

I’ve heard multiple times this week various theories on the events in TFA and how they are to play out.

In addition to the dissecting of the film’s plot, Disney has been working around the clock.

There’s multiple marketing platforms that have been intensely advertising the film which now includes TV.

What’s more, Disney is adding to their flawless marketing campaign by utilizing all of their platforms which is now including TV shows.

It was announced earlier this week that during Friday night’s showing of Girl Meets World on the Disney Channel, there will be a sneak peek of The Force Awakens.

Interestingly enough, this seems to be another audience Disney is reaching out too.

Clearly, the same people watching ESPN’s Monday Night Football will not be watching the Disney Channel’s Girl Meets World.

With that being said, the game plan is obvious.

Disney is trying to reach as many different groups as they possibly can while they spare no resource.

Now, on to Battlefront.

For many Star Wars gamers, this has been such a long time coming.

I can recall Halloween of 2005, the same day Star Wars Battlefront II was released.

After picking up my copy and after trick-or-treating, I fell into a deep state of nirvana as I immersed myself within the game.

Little did I know, it would be 10 long years until the next Star Wars Battlefront game would hit the shelves.

This is much bigger than a highly anticipated game however.

This is a groundbreaking event within the Star Wars community.

I know so many others who were just like me. Who waited and waited, wondering where the next Battlefront game was with no answers.

But all that is in the past now.

As the Grand Moff Tarkin once said, “This will be a day long remembered.”

Come next Tuesday, we finally get to see the next chapter of Star Wars Battlefront which I am extraordinarily excited for.

What’s the most exciting about all of this Star Wars talk is the potential.

With Episode VII coming out and Battlefront being released, just think of what’s next!

A Galaxy of endless possibilities awaits us.
