Star wars the force awakens movie theater poster large

I am actually excited to be excited (or at least interested) in a poster, as the importance of the theatrical one-sheet has dissipated over the years.

Say what you will about the prequels, and I like them more than most, but that teaser poster is a thing of magnificent power and pathos.ДЄnd now I'm hurriedly typing this as we await the debut of what will presumably be the main theatrical poster for Walt Disney's Star Wars: The Force Awkens. Of course, that being said, the best piece of poster art for the entire franchise thus far remains the subtle and sparse Phantom MenaceВ teaser poster which had a young Anakin Skywalker casting a reflection of Darth Vader. Yes, I grew up on Star WarsВ and yes I have always enjoyed the splashy, colorful, and exceptionally busy poster art, suggesting as they should something of a space opera version of the 1960's and 1970's James Bond posters. So while I will admit that I struggle to justify the 'newsworthy' nature of a theatrical poster for a new preordained blockbuster, I won't pretend that I'm not excited. In retrospect, considering what I do for a living, it is a little fitting or ironic that it was a piece of marketing that first pulled me into the world of cinema as opposed to a specific movie. Maybe it was something about the American flag color scheme (I always liked the mix of red and white or red and yellow, which is why I actually preferred Superman to Batman for awhile), or the deep red boxing gloves, but Rocky IVВ became the first movie I was outright obsessed with, and it was through that Sylvester Stallone musical/boxing drama that I became something of a movie nerd.
