Before we talk about what this first, official, one-sheet poster for Star Wars: The Force Awakens actually means , let's take a minute to simply enjoy its beauty. 

Here's the whole thing: 

Yeah, that thing is nice. Really nice. 

OK, so lets talk about it ... IS THAT SOME KIND OF FREAKING DEATH STAR?!

It's definitely not Death Star, and certainly not the Death Star, but it sure as hell appears to be some kind of moon-sized planet-killing weapon. 

Hopefully we'll find out more when the next trailer drops during Monday Night Football this week, which starwars.com confirmed is happening. 

Did John Boyega actually have some pull with J.J. Abrams

So connected with JJ and told him to hurry up with a trailer. Fingers crossed! That's all I can do. #injjwetrust

And does this teaser he posted to Instagram have something to do with it?
