Star Wars: The Force Awakens Poster Hints at New Death Star

The Force may not awaken for another two months, but the Disney promotional machine is officially in overdrive.


At halftime of tonight’s Giants-Eagles matchup, fans will be treated to a new Star Wars Episode VII trailer.



And ahead of this milestone event, the studio has unveiled a juicy new poster for the year’s most anticipated movie.


Among the highlights:


  • Brand new heroes Rey, Finn (holding Anakin Skywalker’s lightsaber!) and Poe Dameron in pilot gear.

  • A fresh look at their adversaries in the First Order, chiefly the blade-wielding Kylo Ren and the chromed-out Captain Phasma.

  • Long-time favorites Han Solo, Chewbacca, C-3PO, and R2-D2, along with our first look at a returning Carrie Fisher and a new hairdo for Princess Leia.

  • Even more intriguing than that? Look up in the right corner… amidst the battling X-wings, TIE fighters and Star Destroyers… doesn’t that planet-shaped weapon appear to be the latest evolution in Death Star technology?!?

A limited number of Star Wars: The Force Awakens tickets will actually go on sale Monday night, while the trailer will hit your small screen around 10 p.m. EST.


So get ready for Star Wars: The Force Awakens to be released on December… but get set to be even more excited for it in a few hours.
