Star Wars: The Force Awakens poster and trailer announced!

Have you felt it …?

After six months of waiting, Star Wars fans will finally get a new glimpse into The Force Awakens when the first full trailer hits tomorrow on ESPN during Monday Night Football.

Look for it at halftime during the game between the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles in Philadelphia, which starts at 8:15 Eastern, 5:15 Pacific. A Spanish-language trailer will be shown at the same time on ESPN Deportes. After the trailer hits, advance tickets will go on sale for the Dec. 18 movie.

Along with the announcement, Lucasfilm released the film’s one-sheet poster today, which will replace the simple title logo currently hanging in most movie theater lobbies.

The new poster offers us something both new and ominous – the background of what looks to be an entire planet or moon, but … that’s no moon. It’s split in two and appears to be a massive weapon along the lines of the Death Star. Could this be The First Order’s Starkiller base?
