There is so much awesome going on in this new poster for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. This is the final poster for the movie and it looks incredible. I love the color and balance of the thing. Look at Riley’s angle of her staff juxtaposed with Kylo Ren’s lightsaber. The use of red and blue. And since it is J.J. Abrams you can’t have a poster without a little lens flare. There is one mystery to the poster, though. Where is Luke? We know that Luke is in the movie but where is he in this poster. Han, Leia, Chewbacca, C-3PO and R2-D2 are in poster along with many of the new characters. But Luke is noticeably missing. I wonder if we will get a glimpse of him in the new trailer that comes out tomorrow. More details on that below. But first a little teaser from the Star Wars Instagram.
