American Star Wars fans are being forced to watch ESPN’S Monday Night football to see a full trailer for the series next film – and they are not coping.
A full trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be shown during the game’s half-time break.

True Star Wars geeks have gone into meltdown, wondering when the football torture will end.
“I’m really just trynna watch this Star Wars trailer already… Absolutely zero interest do I have about this game,” one fan said evoking Yoda.
“Can these two teams just get to half time already? Jeez I need my Star Wars trailer already,” Jacob Tovar tweeted.
Others have outright refused to watch football for the trailer.

“Not even the new Star Wars trailer can get me to watch football. Someone let me know when it’s online pls,” a fan whose display picture is of Tina Fey as Princess Leia from an episode of 30 Rock tweeted.
And some super fans just need the trailer right now.
“JUST GIVE ME THE DAMN STAR WARS TRAILER,” Nick Moscato tweeted.
