As if the hype and excitement of fans are not enough, the people behind "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," turned up the heat a notch when the character posters were released. The latest is the seventh installment in the franchise set to hit theaters worldwide on Dec. 18.
The posters released, according to Hollywood Reporter are as follows: Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Leia, Rey (Daisy Ridley), Finn (John Boyega), and Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) all of them brandishing their weapon of choice, while in Leia's (Carrie Fisher" case, a meaningful gaze.
Cinema Blend, meanwhile, provided short description of the roles of the main characters based on trailers seen to date.
Hans Solo. He might be the one to provide guidance and assistance when Rey and Fin go out on a quest to find Luke.
Leia. She has been spotted twice in trailers but still unclear how her story would unfold in the movie.
Rey. She uttered, "I am no one" in the final trailer and was seen crying hard. Those anticipating the movie have their own speculations as to the reason why and it may not be good.
Finn. The assumption is that he is a Jedi and that lightsaber is a bit of a give away. This is another character that is worth waiting for. There is also an ongoing rumor that he was holding Luke's lightsaber.
Kylo Ren. He will fill Darth's Vader shoes and as early as now, fans are expecting a full-packed action come next month.
In related news, Movo Media reports that after the advance sales day for the "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" tickets, which saw $6.5 M Imax gross, as well as record high for Fandango, AMC and MovieTickets.com, 70% of those buying advance tickets were males ages 18-49 with the average age of 34.
Dec. 18 is just a few weeks away. May the force be with you as the countdown begins!
