The website and trailer as well as merchandise all contain the Star Wars logo. This is recognised globally and is associated with all of the films helping attract fans to pay and watch the film, creating a larger audience and ultimately producing a larger profit.

 

As well as the logo, the classic Star Wars music is used in the trailer which once again links the trailer to all the other previous star wars films helping to entice fans.
