Star Wars: The Force Awakens may only be in the teaser trailer stages, and is still over a year away from theatrical release, but someone already has a tattoo based on it.
22-year-old Jordan Breckon, a student from Arizona, got a ball droid inked on his leg, a character that was seen for 1.5 seconds in the teaser which dropped on Friday.
Other than looking pretty cool there isn't really much cause to grow attached to the lnew robot, so I'm not exactly sure why Jordan chose it, and he'll live to regret it if the droid turns out to be the film's nefarious antagonist rather than the cute sidekick presumed.
Jordan believes he has the first Star Wars 7 tattoo, and earned a Like from the film's official account for it.
"The reaction to this tattoo has been pretty awesome!" he told BuzzFeed.
"Lots and lots of love from…Star Wars fans, many other Instagram users have reposted and [I] have even gotten a like from the Official Star Wars account.
"My artist Tyler Nealeigh and I have both been pleasantly surprised at the reaction [to] my tattoo.
"Of course some people will hate and believe what I did is stupid, but that I already knew would happen as you cannot please everyone!
"In all I love this tattoo and all the love that it’s [received]. It is a great time to be a Star Wars fan!"
