The first official poster for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" was unveiled at the Disney D23 Expo in Anaheim. John Boyega's Finn who was teased as a runaway Stormtrooper in the previous trailer is now shown holding a blue lightsaber, sparking rumors that he might be a Jedi.
The one-sheet was created by Drew Struzan, the artist behind classic posters of "Star Wars", "Indiana Jones", "Back to the Future", and more recently "Harry Potter". Besides Finn, it features Daisy Ridley's Rey, Adam Driver's Kylo Ren, and Harrison Ford's Han Solo - each with their weapons of choice.

The Empire has morphed into a junta known as The First Order while X-Wing pilots now fly for a splinter group known as the Resistance. Princess Leia has come into possession of the lightsaber once possessed by her father, Darth Vader, and later lost by Luke when Vader separated him from his arm during that "join me" duel in The Empire Strikes Back.
