The official poster for Star Wars: The Force Awakens has just dropped with a notable character missing.
The new poster features the new characters: Kylo Ren, Captain Phasma, Poe Dameron, Rey, Finn, BB-8 and Maz Kanataand, as well as classic characters such as Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, R2-D2 and C-3PO. Unfortunately Luke Skywalker is absent from the poster.
Star Wars fans will also get a new trailer Tuesday morning (AEST) with tickets going on sale the same day- two months before the release date.
Twitter’s reaction to the new poster:
The new #StarWars poster got me so excited, I reacted as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.
