It’s official: New poster launched, The Force Awakens trailer coming during Monday Night Football

Lucasfilm has finally confirmed that the rumors are true: The full-length trailer for The Force Awakens will debut during halftime on Monday night’s NFL game.

Tickets will go on sale “everywhere” following the trailer launch. Also confirmed is the Star Wars Marathon Event, aka the seven-movie marathon, at select theaters.

Lucasfilm says that Disney is “providing unprecedented company-wide on-air and social support” and “tying in events and special activities for the day of the trailer release.” Something – perhaps a trailer tease – is expected during Good Morning America tomorrow.

Or, they’ve already dropped one:

No, wait, three: One with Poe and Finn, and one with Rey and BB-8.

See the full poster beneath the cut, as well as a little minor theorizing.

Is the new character Maz Kanata? Did the Death Star have a baby with HAL? Is Leia’s hair full of secrets or is that just Chewbacca’s arm? (It’s not.) Here’s a closer look at the new elements. Click on the photos for theorizing and more!

The poster artist isn’t Drew Struzan (although I do suspect we’ll see another one from him eventually,) but
Bryan Morton.
