Star Wars fans are desperately hoping The Force Awakens will be almost as good as the original trilogy, but Drew Struzan can do you one better. He claims that the upcoming film is actually the best of all the Star Wars movies.
In an interview with Movie Weekly, artist Drew Struzan, the man behind all of the brilliant Star Wars posters, spoke about getting involved in the new film. He said he has read the script and seen about half the movie, and he already has some incredibly positive things to say about it.
"...I can tell you and the fans this, honest to God, it is far and away probably going to be the best Star Wars you’ve ever seen," Struzan said.
He went on to praise The Force Awakens as being beautifully made and with a wonderful story. In terms of getting involved in The Force Awakens, Struzan said that J.J. Abrams actually called him up himself, saying that they needed his art to make this the real deal.
The brilliant first Force Awakens poster was unveiled at the D23 expo this past week, and Struzan said he designed it not to tease the film's plot, but to reflect how it made him feel on an emotional level.
"I paint the situation and I paint the feelings," he said. "Not to tell the story, but to tell you how you’re going to feel when you see the film."
The Force Awakens hits theaters on December 18.
