To watch or not watch tonight’s “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” trailer, that is the question. Die hard fans are finally getting the long-waited new trailer for the film, but with two months to go until it lands in cinemas, some are wondering if they can keep their eyes closed until then. Well, director Rian Johnson is feeling you on that.
Late this summer, the director fully endorsed “avoiding everything you can from now ’till December!” And while he’s pretty jazzed about tonight’s trailer, he’s also split on whether or not you should actually watch it. In fact, if you want to go in clean, you can avoid it altogether. And it’s a decision that Johnson (mostly) gets behind.

So, what will you be doing tonight? “Do. Or do not. There is no try,” Yoda once said. It’s either all in, of you can just watch the reactions and sceenshots roll by on social media. For myself, I’m going to pass on the trailer, at least online, but if I happen to see it in cinemas, I won’t be too upset.
“Star Wars: The Last Jedi” opens on December 15th, and oh yeah, tickets are on sale tonight too.
Update: Johnson has clarified his thoughts.
