    I agree. However, Rey and Kylo are the biggest on the poster. Not sure if that means anything

    There never was going to be an episode VII tag line. It will show up in the crawl like the OT.

    Not sure why so many people are shocked by no Luke in the poster

    Fine with that. But no Luke is some bullcrap. No one was expecting him to be the main character again, but there's no reason why he couldn't have had a half hour supporting role a la Yoda and Mace Windu in the prequels without taking away from the new characters. That's how all of the OT characters should have been. No Luke in the Return Of The Jedi sequel or even the poster SUCKS.

    Lot of people just doesn't understand that the old cast is not the center of the new trilogy.

    They are a link to this new story.

    A comparison of the new poster to some of Struzan's SW work.

    I understand that just fine. Nobody is asking for Luke to be the main character....but this Luke cameo stuff is absolute ass. There's no reason why he couldn't have had a small half hour like supporting role in the film a la Yoda/Mace Windu in the prequels without taking the focus away from the new characters. Apologists can suck it.

    I'm disappointed in no luke on the poster, but kind of knew it was coming.
    Possible Luke spoiler
    From what my vfx friend says luke is in the movie much more than we think and his scenes carry a lot of weight.

    Because this is the starting plot. Luke is missing. Seems legit.

    This is a clear sign that Rey will fight Kylo throughout the entire trilogy. With Rey front and center in this poster, she is clearly the main hero of this trilogy.

    Of course it means something. Rey is the Luke of the ST and Kylo is the Darth Vader.

    So we've seen Finn hold the lightsaber two ways now. Any guess on his lightsaber style?

    I'm feeling a little deflated. The poster is fine, I guess- but I really wanted Struzan and I think they should explain why they didn't go that route. Maybe we'll get Struzan for the Blu-Ray cover.
    The fact that the trailer is being revealed in a way that's tailored for the US, completely ignoring everywhere else is also very disappointing.
    I'm sure after seeing the trailer my hype level will increase again. In the meantime-

    Anyone else surprised by Chewie's prominence? He's bigger than Poe!
