The upcoming 'Star Wars' film 'The Force Awakens,' has a big duty to the franchise, and to Lucasfilms as a whole, being their biggest and most popular film to be released in years.

There are still those skeptical of how the film will turn out, mainly regarding the many changes and additions added into the franchise, however poster artist Drew Struzan believes all the naysayers are set to eat their words.

He's claimed to have seen half of the film and has expressed it to be the best 'Star Wars' film in the series.

Struzan has been largely apart of the franchise since its humble beginnings, and spoke to Movie Weekly about the recent poster design that was released at Disney's D23.

Here's what he had to say:

"It started about a year ago or more, a year and a half ago. I got a call from J.J. Abrams who I have never met, and he was in England shooting the film and he goes 'Hi, I've always loved the work' and Blah, Blah, Blah, sounding like you, you know, like a fanboy (laughs) And we were talking along and he just goes '...Well, would you?' and I said '...If I was asked. ' And that was the conversation (laughs). By the end of it, there were no other words. So about a year later, we get together and meet and he says we're using all the original people - John Williams, Kasdan, Harrison Ford's in it, everybody's in it and everybody's writing and making the music and we have to have your art to make it the real thing. So, of course, I've got to do it for George and I've got to do it for Star Wars. I've never worked with J.J before and so we started working on it and he showed me like half the movie and it was just... a wonderful film and I know it's going to be grand. 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."

As it stands, the movie is slated for release on December 18.
