We’ve got a few more notes to consider about it, including…
1. Why isn’t Gewndoline Christie listed in there? Captain Phasma is pictured for sure. Hmmm… On the other hand…
2. Mark Hamill isn’t the only actor listed who doesn’t appear on the poster. Andy Serkis’ Supreme Leader Snoke and Domhnall Gleeson’s General Hux are listed but not pictured.
3. Rumor has it that the creature to the left of Artoo is not Goss Toowers, as I’d speculated, but is in fact Maz Kanata. No conformation one way or the other, so the jury’s still technically out.
4. Michael Arndt has a “Written by” credit. As you might recall, according to interviews with Abrams and Kasdan, they claimed they went back to square one with the script, but the credits suggest otherwise. Maybe in the final analysis, the screenplay credit will go to Abrams and Kasdan, and the story credit will go to the two of them plus Arndt. What do you make of it? Have your say in the comments!
