    I'm noticing Chewbacca is the only prominent OT character in most of these images. Strange that we've seen very little promotional material using the "holy trinity" of Luke, Leia and Han.

    Is it deliberate, that perhaps they cut off the bottom half to avoid showing us this stuff before they are ready? If this is a chopped version of the official poster, I would think so. They certainly haven't shown us any of this stuff (Luke, Leia, Snoke) yet, and what they have shown us maybe they had to because of leaks.

    Excellent, quite right, but there also seems to be a stronger focus on these three. Indeed seeing Chewie grouped with someone other than Han and seeing that image come up often in central marketing material, to me, is telling. Then again I have a habit of reading these things far too deeply.

    I just went to the SW Russian website. Could not find it. I did, however, watch the trailer and it was dubbed in Russian. Sounds funny hearing Han say Chewie, were home in Russian.

    Getting us used to seeing Chewie without Han for a reason... like Han "becoming one with the Force" so to speak? :D

    What's with the "welding mask" style of the trooper on the far right? Have we seen troopers like that before? Is that stylized artistic license do you think or are there Storm Troopers with those kinds of masks?

    Flametroopers, I believe. They are official designs, not just something done out of artistic license.

    Looks like it is part of a larger picture. See the falcon in the lower right?

    What's a bit interesting in that is that Rey has a little bit of the red of Ren's lightsaber coming off her, and her position puts her close to him, literally in the folds of his hood, as if to foreshadow some sort of influence he might have over her at some point.

    Or I just read too much into it.

    And as usual big bad Kylo is in the background, what happened to the stormtrooper on the right his black eyes on his helmet are missing.

    I think it's a flametrooper, isn't it? So he would just have the little slits instead of the black eyes.

    It was @John Crichton suggestion although I did question what trooper it was myself.
