Poster design legend Drew Struzan has been quoted in a new interview in saying that the upcoming Star Wars sequel, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, is the best movie in the hallowed saga yet.
Struzan, who designed the original posters for The Phantom Menace, Attack Of The Clones and Revenge Of The Sith (see below), recently revealed a poster for The Force Awakens at the Disney D23 Expo in Anaheim this past weekend.
Since then, he’s been speaking to Movie Weekly about the highly anticipated sequel.

I got to read the script and subsequently I’ve seen half of it and 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. … Well, it’s beautifully made and it’s a wonderful story. … To me, [the new poster] represents the film. The spirit of the film, the new characters, the battle again to find the truth, to grow up, to find the purpose in life. It’s all those things that Star Wars had to be and is still. And I hope to represent that again to a new generation.”[/quote_box_center]
If you haven’t see the Drew Struzan Force Awakens poster, pan on down to take a look. It’s quite remarkable, and it seems that he’s pretty excited about the film too. We’d also recommend you seek out Struzan’s awesome book ‘The Art Of Drew Struzan,’ which shows off his massive body of work with poster designs from the likes of E.T. to Back To The Future and Raiders Of The Lost Ark.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens on December 18th. Are you in line yet?
