I think they might be teasing it. But if you're expecting details from the new movie? I sincerely doubt it. That would be 2016.

Never underestimate the 501st.
People have been working on the armor since the first view of the helmet.
They've already released the first trailer, so maybe there will be some info on The Force Awakens.

There's no way they ignore the movie next year though. It's being released in December. May/June is six/seven months before. But, personally, I wouldn't go into it *expecting* much. Who knows though? Maybe a trailer (which might even be stretching it), some banners ... I mean, they released a basic teaser 13 months ahead of time. There's going to be a push for the movie.

There is still a lot up in the air and nothing is 100% solid. If there is anything, I would expect very little and in a very teasing fashion.

Filming is done and wrapped. Never underestimate the power and resiliency of the 501st. I said it before I don't expect much in terms of The Force Awakens at SWW2015. Now Celebration Anaheim is where I expect a bunch of TFA stuff.
Especially if there is a presence at Comic Con in July.

I was talking about the meet and greet stormtroopers, not the 501st in the parade.

And there's no way May 4th gets ignored (not saying by Disney but considering that's the original date of when the photo of the cast reading the script was supposed to come out this year). I'd expect a trailer for sure on that day, if I were running things SW related. But I'm not, lol, so we'll see what happens.
I would expect them to be the classic stormtroopers this year. Disney is not known for adapting quickly to changes like this, but anything is possible.

The next trailer is expected to be released with Avengers: Age of Ultron. Which comes out May 1.
If I were running all things SW related at Disney, The Force Awakens would be released on May 4th, not December. And have the world premiere at Hollywood Studios.

Ah, but then you run into the problem of conflicting films fighting each other at the box office. It would not be smart to put out Episode VII three days after Age of Ultron, look at how the big summer films from other studios already have to fight with each other to stay in the Top 5. No, I think December is the perfect time to release Star Wars. With the Hobbit series ending this year, there is no big holiday franchise to stop Star Wars from raking in boatloads of money by staying in the top 5 for a few months....that's what Avatar did.
Somehow I think The Force Awakens will beat the pants off any other film released around that time.... It's been too long, the fan base is too big and we all want to see if JJ has the same magic with SW as he did with his reboot of Star Trek.
I remember those long lines wrapped around the movie theatre for the 3 original films - I was in them. And will have my posterior parked in a seat for the midnight (or earlier) showing.

I read that Freddie's had some health issues - I hope he overcomes them in time to make the event.
BTW, I like your avatar. Harold Ramis' death still hurts...

I agree with you that the film will make money, it's Star Wars. But doesn't it make more sense to release a film when there will be the least amount of competition (especially when four of those competitive films just happen to be from the same company who is distributing Episode VII)? Here, let me use an example.
Summer 2015 Movie Releases -
Avengers: Age of Ultron
Pitch Perfect 2
Tomorrowland
Insidious: Chapter 3
Jurassic World
Inside Out
Ted 2
Terminator: Genisys
Magic Mike: XXL
Minions
Ant-Man
Pan
Point Break Re-Make
Holiday 2015 Movie Releases -
Star Wars Episode VII
Hunger Games Part 2
Peanuts
Kung Fu Panda 3
Mission Impossible V
Do you see where I'm coming from? There is very little competition during the holiday season this upcoming year compared to the summer. Also, lets not forget Star Wars still has the stench of the prequels hovering over it. It's not like a Marvel film where it's had several successful films recently to back it up. As far as JJ goes, I know several hard core Star Trek fans who hated Into Darkness because it lazily took quotes and memorable scenes from the franchise and shoehorned them into what was suppose to be a "re-imagining" of the series.
Finally, did you notice you said there were lines wrapped around the theater for "the three original films"? Funny how you don't include the later three films. It sounds to me like your one of those hard core Star Wars fans who would go see anything related to the series because it has "Star Wars" in the title. That doesn't mean the rest of the world is the same way, especially during the cut-throat time frame of the summer movie season. Again, all I'm trying to point out is it makes more sense to release Star Wars when it has the opportunity to make the most money (which is all Disney really cares about).

The Star Wars dining is at dinner which is not character dining anyway. No fear; however; Oso has been retired
