There's a lot to dissect in that poster! What jumps out to me immediately is it looks like we get our first look at Lupita Nyong'o's Maz Kanata (the small alien, which is just left of center on the poster) and the Starkiller Base super weapon in the top right hand corner.
Let us know what you think of the poster as well as what other hints and easter eggs you find in the comments!

WOW! Check out that Starkiller Base, it's like the Death Star :o¨ SO HYPED
ReplyDeleteI can understand why they left Luke out of the poster. They are clearly saving him for the big reveal at the end of the film. What I don't understand is why they left general Hux out of the poster? Could it be a hint at some kind of relationship between Hux and Luke?
ReplyDeleteWhere is Luke?
ReplyDeleteWhere is Luke? Should anything be read into that?
ReplyDeleteWho's that Yoda-like creature next to R2?
ReplyDeleteWatch the trailer again... It's that creature that hands over Anakin's lightsaber to whom we suspect is Leia...
DeleteI'm kinda curious as to why Kylo's blade is parallel with Rey's staff? She is also between Kylo and Finn again (Between the Dark and the Light)?
ReplyDeleteWHERE IS LUKE???
ReplyDeleteRumer has it that he doesn't show up until the last 45 or 30 mins.of the movie
DeleteDarthpunk I thought the same thing about Rey's staff and Kylo's saber
ReplyDeletePoster sucks, more soulless digital art! Another Deathstar type super weapon? Really? My expectations for this film just took a nose dive.
ReplyDeletedarthpunx....I was thinking sort of the same thing about kylos blade enveloping reys and almost making reys look red
ReplyDeletePretty sure that's Teedo next to R2, not Maz Kanata
ReplyDeleteNot all storm troopers are bad
ReplyDeleteFor the generation of people that grew up with the original trilogy like me, we need to realise that we cannot expect the same style of movie in every aspect including special effects for the new trilogy. The key is to strike a balance between practical effects and digital effects and I think we will get that in this movie. Let's not forget that JJ Abrams is from the same generation, and he,s expanding this universe to another cinematic generation in a wise manner. Let's be positive.
ReplyDeleteit's really not 1980 anymore no matter how much some wish it could be. some fans need to just RELAX.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree, people need to relax
ReplyDeleteWHERE IS LUKE! is he not a main character in this movie at all!
ReplyDeleteTease for tomorrow's trailer:

ReplyDeletehave you felt it?
See how Kylo's lightsaber and Rey's staff are parallel to each others? Solo twins confirmation anyone???
ReplyDeleteThoughts on the poster are this : I like The Poster. I can't believe the amount of people actually complaining over both the poster and the teaser trailers. It's New a Star Wars Film. Come on now. I guess you really can't please everyone anymore. Just because Drew Struzan did not make the poster doesn't mean it's bad
ReplyDeleteI agree with RiCaRDo... the poster confirms the Solo twins.
ReplyDeleteshe turns
ReplyDeleteToo bad they already revealed Kylo Ren without his mask and it's clearly Adam Driver
ReplyDeletelolol danny brown ftw
ReplyDeletebut yeah, i think this is solo twins confirmation... their proximity is either a blatant reveal or a very intentional mislead. i am gonna bank on the former
also, i LOVE that luke isn't in it. i see this completely different than everyone complaining about it. he is very clearly heading towards obi wan/yoda territory... the enigmatic, withdrawn jedi STUD. he isn't the young hero "getting involved" as he did as a teen. i think it's perfect.
haters gonna hate but, at least in my opinion, this movie is shaping up to be quite the breakthrough for this franchise.
Anyone notice the lens flare in the poster?? :-P
ReplyDeleteI have a Crazy theory.What if this new death star built inside the Jedi Crystal snowy Planet »ILUM« and they use the Power from all the Kyber crystal inside to create the new powerful weapon
ReplyDeleteInteresting but didn't they say it was a new Planet? Regardless, it's a plausible theory. I just hope it's not another rehash of the original Death Star.
