I find it interesting that Luke isn't on the poster.
It's possible it's some relic from the KotOR era.

dope
It's possible. While KoTOR itself isn't currently stated to be canon it's likely they'll bring back elements of it into canon. Plus in an unreleased (but canon) episode of TCW Yoda alludes to a bunch of superweapons being built thousands of years before the Clone Wars, so it's very possible that's the origin of the weapon, and the First Order simply found it.
A lot of people say it's not canon. Well they are right, but it doesn't mean they can use something from it (thus making it canon again), which is basically my point when discussing it.

Yeah that's what I'm saying. They're bringing back a lot of the better elements of the old EU, and given how popular KotOR is I wouldn't be surprised if many elements of it are brought back into canon.

I still hope people are upset with it.
That's an annoying attitude, why can't anyone be happy with what makes other people happy? Especially if its something as harmless and entertaining as Star Wars?

Because I couldn't enjoy the prequels without having some nerd telling me why I'm wrong for liking them. :/

Its pretty dumb to damn an entire movie because of some retarded nerds. Just enjoy the movie, be happy, and ignore the retards. No one has to tell you that fans can sometimes be wankers.

True. All right, fair enough.

Is

Is that another Death Star?
It's called the Starkiller Base.

It's not a Death Star per se, it's a planet that was fitted with a weapon capable of destroying a star, therefore killing all of the inhabitants of the system. It's a death star times forty, basically.

Actually, the surface of that thing looks different. Like they cut a planet in half and stuck a weapon inside of it.
That's because that's what they did.

Read my other post.

Also something cool that people have pointed out is that Rey and Kylo are holding their sabers/staffs parallel, and right over each other. If you take a quick look, it's almost like Rey is holding a red blade. A lot of people are theorizing that she'll be a character who ends up either falling to/being tempted by the dark side. It's pretty obvious foreshadowing, but it's still a cool visual.

Could be coincidental since her staff has to go somewhere without blocking other things in the image. But I'm cool with someone possibly turning evil, that's always a challenge a Jedi faces

Ok well actually, just using a lightsaber doesnt mean he's a force user, haven't seen that yet. It'd be cool if he was just using the lightsaber and not an actual force user.

Seems unlikely. Also, I'm pretty sure it's been stated in one of the films that lightsabers require the Force to control. Could be wrong.

That's a very, very old piece of Star Wars canon; only right after A New Hope.

It was discredited a long time ago; force sensitivity isn't required to hold one.

Remember when Han used Luke's lightsaber to cut open the Tauntaun?

Finn is almost definitely force-sensitive.

I doubt it's coincidental. The designer of this poster almost certainly knew what that sort of imagery implied. I She could've been posed so many different ways to negate the idea that her and Kylo were parallel in some way.

Luke is definitely going to be the big reveal during the movie, they're not going to show him in the promotional material.

The Death Star-esque thing is Starkiller base. It's a planet that has been hollowed out around the equator.
Given that the First Order is supposed to be a radical splinter group modellig themselves after the Empire, I doubt they have the resources to accomplish such a feat. This makes me think that the superweapon may in fact be a lot older than the First Order. It's possible it's some relic from the KotOR era.

This definitely works with the running narrative that Kylo Ren is some Sith-wannabee obsessed with uncovering old artifacts and relics from Sith history.

That would make things interesting, and help to give some new canon to the Old Republic era.

And General Greivous... he used fuckin four at once and didn't really seem to be a Force user.

I'm just saddened that it's never going to die; i find it hard to enjoy my memories of the franchise when it's corpse is still being paraded around.
