The poster is only the second official theater poster for the film
After several days of rumors and reports, the poster was released ahead of the official announcement of tickets going on sale for the film’s opening weekend, which should come with the trailer during ESPN Monday Night Football tomorrow night. With an official release date of December 18, 2015, the movie will actually start airing at 7pm on December 17, 2015 at many theaters.
The poster is only the second official theater poster for the film (though others have been released for giveaways). The first was simply a generic logo on a star field – as basic as can be. The other major poster release was at D23 Expo in August, when a Drew Struzan painted poster showed Finn (John Boyega) wielding Anakin Skywalker’s original lightsaber, sparking speculation and excitement. It also featured fellow newcomers Daisy Ridley (Rey) and Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), as well as returning star Harrison Ford as Han Solo.
