'Star Wars' fans clamor for tickets, wonder where's Luke
Facebook reported that 1.3 million people had 2.1 million interactions related to "Star Wars" within the first hour of the trailer screening.
Fans have heard Luke's voice and seen what is presumed to be his gloved hand on R2-D2, but his conspicuous absence from the most recent trailer and the official poster had many Twitter users asking #whereisluke and wondering what that means for his character.
AMC theaters are also selling tickets for 39 "Star Wars" marathon events, where they will be showing all seven films on Dec. 17.
Ticketing sites tend to keep specifics about actual sales secret.
"Movie theaters are continually adding new show times on Fandango to meet the phenomenal demand," a Fandango company statement said.
