‘The Force Awakens’ Character Posters: Up Close & Colorful
Man. I got myself fucking Force Awakens tickets. Literally possess them. The movie is next month. And I can’t fucking wait. But Disney keeps enticing me to be more PUMPED and more JACKED and perhaps even “SWOLE” as the kids say (what’s swole in this case? Obviously my dong), with shit like this: character posters.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens is just over a month away at this point, and the hype machine is going to get louder with each passing day. Today the official Star Warswebsite released a number of new character posters (well, some of the actors revealed them first), giving us some extremely close looks at the stars of the film.
There’s evil Kylo Ren (red!), John Boyega’s Finn (blue!), an I’m-not-taking-your-shit Leia (green!), and Harrison Ford as Han Solo, who doesn’t need a color because he’s got a blaster. Daisy Ridley — who as far as we know is just a scavenger named Rey — doesn’t have a color either, but that’s probably because she lives on the dull planet of Jakku where she steals stuff from downed Star Destroyers.
The locked-down secrecy has been one of the most impressive things about the Star Wars promotional campaign, with audiences really not knowing anything more than they did when the first teaser arrived last year. These posters don’t really change that, but theydo seem to suggest that the movie will primarily focus on these five characters above all others — something that the most recent trailer seemed to indicate as well.
