New 'Star Wars' Trailer Airs Tonight During 'Monday Night Football'

(CBS/AP) - Gone are the days when getting tickets first for the latest Star Wars movie meant standing in line for hours and braving the elements. Obviously, the internet has taken the fun pain out of that, but the anticipation is still there.

A new trailer for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" will debut during halftime of the New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles game, Lucasfilm announced Sunday. After the trailer plays, tickets will also go on sale for the film anywhere tickets are sold.

The game kicks off at 5:30 p.m. PT. It will broadcast on ESPN, which, like Lucasfilm, is a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company.

"The Force Awakens," the seventh film in the franchise, is one of the most anticipated of the year. Even its trailer launches have become events in and of themselves. The second teaser trailer, which debuted in April, has over 64 million views on YouTube to date.

The film opens December 18.

"Star Wars" also released a short teaser clip to go along with the announcement.
