Get excited, Star Wars fans.
The official poster for Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released on Sunday and what’s being described as a “special preview” and “new look” will air tomorrow during halftime of Monday Night Football on ESPN.

It’s worth noting that ESPN is owned by Disney, which acquired Star Wars producer Lucasfilm in 2012 for $4 billion.
This past November, Lucasfilm released the first trailer for the new Star Wars movie, and then in May debuted another preview that has racked up nearly 65 million views on YouTube.
The eagerly awaited, J.J. Abrams-directed film, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, opens in exactly two months on Dec. 18, 2015. Tickets are available on pre-sale tomorrow, likely during or after the new trailer airs on ESPN.
