The new posters for Star Wars' "The Last Jedi" were revealed Saturday, and they may have fans seeing red -- in a good way.

Numerous posters were released on the same day a three-minute behind-the-scenes video was shown at the D23 Disney fan-club event and a Star Wars-oriented AR headset was announced. Each poster featured a major character clad in eye-catching crimson.

Naturally, the poster that quickly gained the most attention on social media was the one showing the late Carrie Fisher as General Leia Organa.
