Yesterday the Star Wars: The Force Awakens theatrical poster was released. Below is my analysis of the poster, but first here's a look at the poster itself.

Here are my thoughts based on the poster:

Darth Maul/Revan/Vader looks awesome. I'm hopeful they will develop him more like Vader and less like Maul. I don't want the big villain to get killed in movie one (seven?).
There's a new new Death Star?
John Boyega looks like a boss with a lightsaber.
Anybody seen Luke? Maybe Luke is (old man) kidnapped in this movie?
The new Stormtroopers look awesome but also kind of like they were designed by Nike.
So far Abrams and company are striking a good balance. It's familiar but new and intriguing.
